NOTICE - 1PM SAME DAY DISPATCH PROMISE

Yes, there has been a change - we used to offer 2pm cut-off.  Online orders through our website ship same day if paid before 1pm Brisbane time on our working days.  Phone orders generally ship next-day.  If you are considering phoning an order through, please keep in mind the time delay between shipping your order and consider placing your order online through our store instead so that we can fulfill your order the same day if paid by 1pm Brisbane time on CPR working days as per our calendar below.

Why did we change our cut-off time?

Since covid, couriers have been arriving earlier and earlier. We suspect they are just getting busier, and to fit all the parcel collections into the time-span during the day and get them onto haulage or airfreight that night they have been struggling to meet deadlines. This means that we are being provided less and less time after the cut-off to ensure your order is properly packed and shipped out. This has caused us to rush from time to time, which inevitably leads to an error in an order.

By shifting our cut-off time back an hour, it gives us a bit of breathing room to ensure that all orders placed by the cut-off get the proper amount of attention and care, which will ensure that your order will reach you exactly how you expect it. We know this is important, so we're making this change even though we'd rather allow you to order until later in the day.

Friday shipping promise

On fridays, we are no longer promising orders will ship same day.  We'll certainly do our best to try though!  Monday-Thursday orders will ship when paid by 1pm as per our normal shipping policy.

Since our move, collections on Fridays have been unreliable so we've decided to concentrate on keeping our promise Monday-Thursday.  Rather than close on Fridays, we'll stay open, but we may not be able to ship your order on the Friday.  If it cannot be shipped on that day, we'll ship it on Monday for you.

 

AUS POST CHANGES

Aus Post temporarily suspending letter priority service - letters will travel by standard letter service instead

Due to the Coronavirus Aus Post have temporarily suspended priority letter service.  We ship using priority to ensure you receive your parcels quickly.  During this period we are unable to ship by priority so your letter will ship by standard letter mail.  In addtion, they are stating they will only be delivering letters every second day rather than a daily letterbox delivery.  Please allow extra time for your letter to arrive or consider upgrading to EXPRESS or COURIER at the checkout.  If you've already placed and paid for your order and your order has not yet shipped, please contact us prior to 2pm to arrange to upgrade your letter - fees are usually $8.50 for courier upgrade and $10.95 for express.

Aus Post temporarily suspending EXPRESS POST next day delivery guarantee.

Due to the Coronavirus Aus Post statement as follows:

At Australia Post, we’re working hard to deliver for our customers in these difficult times. We are however, experiencing significant delivery delays in our network due to limited flights, social distancing requirements and a substantial increase in parcel volumes as more people shop online.

These delays mean we are temporarily suspending the Express Post guarantee of next day delivery as we are unable to commit to this timeframe. Express Post is still available but parcels may not be delivered next business day every time.
 

*NOTICE: Orders paid AFTER 1pm will ship next CPR Working Day 

Due to the Coronavirus impacting freight services, most of our collections have been brought forward by 1 hour.  While we still are shipping your order if paid before 1pm, previously in some cases we were able to ship goods when oredered after 1pm.  Unfortunately shipping of orders after cut-off simply cannot be accomodated at this stage.  Thank you for understanding.

  

COVID-19 Corona Virus update & effects on trade

 

WE ARE OPEN & TRADING NORMALLY

Freight services are running as per usual and collections are still occuring as normal.  Goods ordered before 2pm each day will still be shipped same-day (EXCEPT FRIDAYS - see note above).

We are following all government recommendations with respect to santisation and social distancing andand strongly encourage everyone to follow all government recommendations so that we can ensure we all make it through this difficult situation healthy and safe.

Thank you so much for your support and we look forward to helping you into the future!

-The team at CPR Kart Parts.
