Christmas Delivery Cut-off

To make sure your order arrives in time for Christmas, please place your order by Friday, 12th December.

We recommend ordering as early as possible, as courier networks across Australia can experience significant delays during the busy holiday season. Orders placed after 12th December will still be processed and dispatched as quickly as possible, but we can’t guarantee delivery before Christmas.

Please note:

  1. Delivery timeframes may vary depending on your location and the carrier’s network.
  2. Bulky or freight-restricted items may require additional handling time.
I can’t make it into a store. Do you deliver?

We deliver anywhere in Australia. There are some restrictions on certain types of products e.g. dangerous goods. For more information, please visit our website, enquire in store or call us on 1800 658 111.

I was diverted to the National Customer Service Centre. Why is that?

We aim to give you the very best experience however you choose to shop with Carbatec. Diverting all incoming calls to our Customer Service Centre helps to make sure someone is ready to serve you when you visit a Carbatec store.

Our team of technical experts at the Customer Service Centre can answer just about any enquiry you may have about our products, services or general information like stock availably at your local store. They can also help you choose a product for delivery or local store pickup that best suits your current and future projects. If you would still like to speak to a team member at your local Carbatec store and they are available, we’ll happily transfer your call as requested. Remember it’s always FREE when you call us on 1800 658 111.

How long will it take to receive my order?

We aim to dispatch all orders within 3 working days. During busy periods such as Christmas or major promotions, dispatch may take a little longer.

Our Tier One carriers are Australia Post eParcel, StarTrack, and Toll. We also partner with Bluestar, Couriers Please, and Aramex for metro deliveries where parcels exceed Australia Post’s weight or size limits.

If your order hasn’t arrived within a reasonable timeframe, please contact our Customer Care Team on 1800 658 111 or email us at support@carbatec.com.au and we’ll be happy to follow this up for you.

When can I collect my order?

You can pick up your order, after you have received notification that your Click and Collect order is ready for collection.

Please wait for this notification before heading to the store to collect, as not all items are readily available in-store. At Carbatec, we have a huge range of woodworking machinery and hand tools, not all items are stocked in our stores, and some items may have to ship from our QLD warehouse to the store of pick-up choice. If you have any queries on the eta of your order, please email support@carbatec.com.au or reach out to your local store and we'll be able to provide further details.

Collection is available during store opening hours only.

Where do I go to pick up my order?

Once your order is confirmed as ready, visit your selected store. Let our staff know you’re there to collect a Click & Collect order, and they’ll assist you.

What happens if an item in my confirmed order is unavailable?

Occasionally, stock may be damaged or missing when we prepare your order. If this happens, we’ll contact you to organise a transfer from another store or issue a full refund.
