2. Order Processing

Orders are normally handled within 1 to 3 days, Monday to Saturday after successful payment. Our order cut-off is 5:00 pm Melbourne local time. Orders placed after the cut-off, on Sundays or public holidays will generally begin processing on the next handling day.

Processing time is separate from transit time.

  • Transit after dispatch: 5 to 7 days. Carrier delivery days are Monday to Saturday.

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete delivery address.

Please check your address carefully before completing your order.

Home Tech is not responsible for delays caused by incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the customer.

Tracking information may take some time to update after the carrier receives the shipment.

8. Delayed or Lost Orders

We will investigate the shipment with the relevant carrier.

Where an order is lost or otherwise cannot be delivered, Home Tech will work with the customer and the carrier to resolve the issue.
