Orders are shipped generally shipped the same or next business day. Please be aware delivery times may be longer during the Christmas and New Year period which is out of our control.

Standard delivery times:

• Sydney / Canberra / Melbourne / Brisbane : 1 to 2 days
• Country NSW / VIC / QLD: 3 days
• North QLD : 4-5 days
• Adelaide : 2 days
• Perth & Tasmania: 5 days

Obviously the delivery time can vary, especially in rural or remote areas.... So please us the above as a guide only.

Following promotions and peak time (spring/summer), in rare cases dispatch may be 2+ days.  If there is to be any extended delay on an order for any reason, you will be contacted via email or phone.

Express post or express courier may be available, however it must be organised manually with one of our staff vie phone or email. Please note that these shipping costs can be significantly higher as although a product may be light, express shipments are calculated on volumetric size.

As a result of increased demand, COVID related supply delays and shipping line disruptions a number of popular items are currently set to “Pre-Order” on our website.

This essentially means that you are purchasing the goods now, but it won’t be shipped until the goods arrive here from our overseas suppliers. All products are labelled with an “Estimated” Date of arrival (ETA) to give you a guide as to when we hope to ship your order. The advantage of Pre-ordering your goods is to ensure you can receive them… as in recent months many products have been all pre-sold before they arrive here into our warehouse.

In these unprecedented times however, the shipping times have been unfortunately unpredictable, and the ETA’s can change. We continue to monitor the situation daily and  adjust the ETA’s on the website as required.

Please be aware there is absolutely no obligation to keep your pre-order should we experience delays, should you simply find a suitable product elsewhere or even just change your mind. All you need to do is email us your Order Number and we will process the refund immediately.

To help you receive your pre-order as soon as possible, we will be shipping all  Pre-orders either via Courier or Express post instead of regular post.

Priority dispatch GUARANTEES your order will be dispatched with 1 business day from ordering. During peak periods, this helps you to "Jump-the-Queue" and ensure your order is dispatched as a priority. Please note that it does NOT mean it is being sent via Express, it will just ensure it is dispatched as a priority. Priority dispatch is $5, and is available as an option during checkout.

Haverford Pty Ltd uses a range of carriers, utilising different services for different sizes parcels and different locations. Our staff determine the most appropriate service to suit your order. As a general rule, couriers are used throughout metropolitan areas and for larger orders, Australia Post is used for rural areas, and DHL is used for international orders.

Every order we send has item TRACKING, so you can track the progress of your delivery. If you have a specific courier requirement simply enter it in the special instructions section of the website checkout.

If you are not likely to be home at the time of delivery you have two options:

1. Have the courier driver leave a failed to deliver card. You will then need to contact the freight company and reschedule delivery for a suitable time OR collect it from your local post office (if sent via Australia Post)
2. You can request the driver to “Leave” the parcel in a safe place such as at the front door or through the side gate. You can give your “Authority to Leave” in the special instructions section of the website checkout.

We ship throughout all of Australia. New Zealand & The United States are also available to upon request, please contact us for a quote. All orders are sent from our warehouse in Sydney, NSW.

Our online shopping cart will automatically calculate your freight cost based on your order size and your location.

Importantly, the shopping cart will show you the freight cost BEFORE you have committed to the purchase. Our volume ensures we receive excellent shipping rates from most carriers, and we don’t charge any additional handling or processing fees.

As all goods are shipped from our Australian Warehouse, import duties and taxes may be payable on large orders.

New Zealand customs does not collect Duty and GST where the total revenue payable on  any one importation is less than $60. Therefore, generally orders under a value of approx NZ$350 won't have any payable amount upon arrival.

Example 1: (standard size order)

Goods Ordered: Sports netting: NZ$200       Duty on Netting at 5% : NZ$10       Freight: $50

Total Value $260

15% GST at $260 = $39.

As this amount is less than $60 there is no amount payable and your order will be shipped  to your door or Post Office with nothing else to pay.

Example 2: (large order)

Goods Ordered: Bird netting: NZ$406         Duty on Netting at 5% : NZ$20.30         Freight: $50

Total Value $476.30

15% GST at $476.30 = $71.45

As this amount is greater than $60 there is an amount payable to NZ Customs. You will be contacted upon the goods entering the country, and once paid the order will be released to you. There will also be an import entry transaction fee of NZ$38.07 (GST   inclusive) payable.

Our online store ensures expedited processing and shipping of your order.

• We offer a full 100% refund on all stock items that have not been used or altered. This applies to items that HAVE NOT been cut to your specification, such as unopened rolls of netting, clips, turnbuckles etc.  Therefore if you accidently over order on accessories that you don't end up using, you can return them for a full refund. Return Shipping is at the buyers expense.
• For any items that have been cut "by-the-metre", such as netting, rope or wire we will refund 50% of the sale price, assuming the item has not been used or altered. For example if you purchased 16m of netting by-the-metre but decided not to use it for any reason, you could return the netting for a 50% refund. However, if you used 10 of the 16m supplied you cannot return the excess 6m that you no longer require.
