Australian Orders
When proceeding through checkout, freight is automatically calculated when possible. Should a quote be required, you still need to process your order through to Order Confirmation. A Customer Service Team member will call you to discuss your freight quote and if you accept this quote you will be charged for the freight. We will not dispatch your order until you have confirmed that you accept this quote - there is no obligation. Any changes to freight rates will be posted on this site as they become effective. If your order is eligible for Free Postage, the Free Postage option with $0.00 cost will appear as a Freight Option, select this option and proceed through the checkout as normal.

Authority to Leave
When placing an order online with Carbatec via the Checkout Page, there is an option provide the Freight Carrier with the ‘Authority to Leave’. This box is automatically ticked.
By leaving the "Authority To Leave" box ticked, you’re giving us authority to leave your order if you’re not home. The delivery driver will look for a safe spot to leave it and they'll place a card in your letter box to let you know where they've put it. If a safe spot can't be identified by the delivery driver, your order will be taken back to a local Post Office, StarTrack depot or StarTrack agent’s depot. A card will be left for you advising where and when you can collect your order.

Due to exceptional demand for some of our most popular stock items, in some instances there may be a stock outage. Items out of stock will be placed on backorder and shipped when stock arrives. Multiple item orders may be shipped separately. Carbatec will inform you of any delay should this be the case with your order.
