SHIPPING & RETURNS POLICY
Welcome to Shoppers Haven. We connect Australian consumers directly with premier manufacturing hubs, optimising logistics to bring you high-quality products directly from our partner factories in China. By removing domestic warehousing and intermediary handling overheads, we deliver exceptional retail savings straight to your door.
AUSTRALIAN DOMESTIC DELIVERY ONLY: Shoppers Haven exclusively services and ships to addresses within Australia. We do not provide international shipping outside of Australia at this time.
1. SHIPPING & DELIVERY FRAMEWORK
Direct-from-Factory Dispatch
All items are prepared, quality-checked, and packed directly on-site at our partner factories in China before being loaded onto specialised international transit lines dedicated to Australian freight routes.
Fulfillment & Delivery Timelines
- Order Processing Time: 1–3 business days. During seasonal peaks or high-demand holiday periods, warehouse fulfilment may scale up to 5 business days before tracking becomes active.
- Estimated Delivery Window: Standard transit takes approximately 7–14 business days from the date of dispatch to any location across Australia.
Consolidated Shipments & Partial Deliveries
To optimise shipping efficiency and prevent processing delays, items sourced from different specialised factories may be shipped independently. If you have ordered multiple items or diverse categories, your goods may arrive in separate packages at different intervals. Rest assured, all remaining packages are tracked under your master order profile and are safely on their way.
Tracking Infrastructure
A shipping confirmation notice containing native tracking identifiers will be generated and emailed as soon as your parcel is logged into the global courier network. Please allow up to 48 hours from dispatch for tracking events to synchronise across local logistics systems.
Customs, Import Duties & Tariffs
Cross-border shipments entering Australia may occasionally undergo standard customs evaluations. While the vast majority of consumer goods below the standard import threshold enter tax-free, any localised import duties, customs clearance tariffs, or supplementary processing fees levied by the Australian Border Force remain the explicit legal responsibility of the recipient.
2. ORDERS NOT RECEIVED & TRANSIT DISRUPTIONS
Cross-border logistics can encounter unexpected supply chain anomalies, weather conditions, or local processing holdups. Our guidelines ensure clear resolution parameters during extended transit gaps.
Extended Shipping Delays
A parcel is formally classified as “delayed in transit” if tracking status updates stall entirely or if delivery fails to execute within 45 days following original factory dispatch. Upon reaching this statutory window, Shoppers Haven will initiate an official carrier tracer and offer an immediate replacement dispatch or a full financial refund.
Disputed “Delivered” Status
If automated tracking systems indicate a parcel has been successfully delivered to your designated Australian address, but you are not in physical possession of the items, Shoppers Haven cannot automatically process a refund or reshipment. Customers must perform the following mandatory steps:
- Examine secure drop points, building reception desks, and verify details with co-residents or neighbours.
- Contact Australia Post or the specified domestic courier branch to request a physical geolocation and delivery check.
- If the carrier confirms structural misdelivery or loss despite the “Delivered” indicator, you must request an official non-delivery certification or proof statement bearing the authority stamp or letterhead of the carrier.
Upon transmitting a digital copy of this carrier certification to our support team, a replacement order or a complete refund will be authorised instantly.
Delivery Tracking Alerts & Unclaimed Shipments
If tracking reports an “Alert” or “Failed Delivery Attempt,” the domestic carrier has hit a localised obstacle. This is frequently driven by incorrect or incomplete addresses supplied at checkout (e.g., missing unit numbers), lack of building access, or a missing safe drop location.
Couriers typically attempt delivery once before transferring the consignment to a local post office or holding depot. Parcels are held for a limited period (generally 3 to 7 days). If unclaimed within this window, the logistics provider will destroy the cargo or mark it abandoned. Shoppers Haven does not extend refunds or duplicate shipments for items destroyed or abandoned due to user input errors or uncollected packages.
3. RETURNS, CANCELLATIONS & FAULT CLAIMS
Change of Mind Policy
Shoppers Haven operates a strict NO CHANGE OF MIND policy. To sustain factory-direct pricing architectures and eliminate expensive cross-border return routing, we are unable to accept returns, process exchanges, or issue refunds because of a change of mind, style preference shifting, or incorrect selection. We request that all customers strictly audit sizing specifications, measurements, colour swatches, and structural details before completing checkout.
Immediate Order Amendments
Our infrastructure immediately updates factory-automated booking systems upon checkout. Consequently, the window for addressing errors is highly restricted. Any requests to fix shipping addresses or modify order variations must be filed via email within 15 minutes of order placement. We cannot modify or intercept any shipments after this period has expired.
Damaged, Faulty, or Broken Consignments
While our manufacturing partners enforce strict quality controls, transit vibrations and long-distance shipping can occasionally cause damage. We stand firmly behind product integrity with a dedicated faulty claims protocol:
- Filing Period: Notice of any product fault, factory defect, or transit damage must be submitted immediately upon package delivery.
- Required Validation Documentation: To process a structural claim, customers must email support with their Order Number, a comprehensive summary of the product deficiency, and clear high-resolution photographs or short video proof showing the defect.
Approved claims will receive a brand-new replacement item or a full refund covering all costs.
- Important: Do not mail any packages back to the factory address listed on the external shipping label. Unauthorised returns cannot be tracked or processed and will void any claim. Please contact support first to receive the correct claims routing instruction.
