Shipping Information

- Why is there no shipping option, only Pick Up from Store when I checkout?

This is an issue which occurs when you have bulky or large items in your shopping cart which cannot normally be shipped through Australia Post or standard couriers. The maximum weight of each carton through Australia Post & standard couriers is 20kg. If you have an item which is heavier than 20kg in your cart, you may get this message. This however does not mean we cannot ship your order! You will need to get in contact with us to quote you for shipping separately. We will work out with our different couriers and carriers which is the cheapest shipping method for your order. If you are happy with the shipping cost, you may proceed with the order. If not, you may cancel the order. You may also organise your own transport if you notify us of your requirements.

DZ Electrical Products (DZ Electrical) uses Australia Post & various other couriers such as Sendle.
