Shipping Policy

 

Shipping Fee

We offer free shipping on most products; however, certain food items and other pet essentials may incur a shipping fee. Additionally, if we need to make special arrangements for shipments to regions not covered by our courier partners, shipping charges shall apply according to the zones defined by our postal partners.

Additionally, some products may not be eligible for free shipping based on delivery location, promotional offers, item size, weight, order value, or other applicable factors. We reserve the right to modify the free shipping policy at any time.

Order Dispatch

The majority of orders are dispatched the same day or the next business day after they are placed. If we need to source products from our suppliers, it may take a little longer than usual to dispatch an order. We shall notify you in such cases.

You will receive an email notification at your registered email address once your order is dispatched. In case you do not receive a shipping confirmation within two days of ordering, you may reach out to our customer support help desk for assistance.

Delivery Time

Depending on the region and shipping method used, most orders are delivered within 3-10 working days. We recommend allowing up to 10 business days for delivery. You may use our Auto-Delivery service to ensure you are never out of your pet’s essentials. In case your order does not arrive within 10 working days, please contact our customer support team for assistance.

Please note: Occasionally, due to circumstances beyond our control, such as high demand, seasonal disruptions, or other unforeseen events, your order may be delayed. We appreciate your patience and understanding and remain committed to delivering your order as quickly as possible.

Shipping Options

Australia Post Regular Mail (Free Shipping)

We ship most orders using the Australia Post Regular Mail service. To keep shipping costs affordable, we flat-pack some products where appropriate without tampering with the products inside. Smaller packages shipped with the free shipping method may not include a tracking number or insurance. Once dispatched, these orders are the responsibility of the customer.

eParcel - Australia Post

This provides a quick and reliable delivery option with tracking included, allowing you to track your parcel and receive live updates. You can select this delivery option at checkout for an added fee of $10.95 if you like added peace of mind.

Express Post – Australia Post

This is our fastest and most cost-effective shipping method. Depending on your location, you may receive your order within 24-48 hours. You can select this shipping option at checkout for an additional $14.95.

Aramex Australia

We use this shipping method based on your delivery location and the size and weight of your order. Most packages weighing over 2 kg, including items such as sprays, shampoos, food, treats, and similar products, are shipped via Aramex.

DiscountPetCare Australia reserves the right to select the shipping method for all orders shipped through ‘Free Shipping’. We may use any suitable delivery method depending on availability to ensure your order is dispatched as quickly as possible.

International Shipments

Orders being shipped outside Australia will incur an additional $14.95 international shipping fee.

Return

We have a 100% money-back return policy. For any reason, if you wish to return your order, please contact our customer support team within 5 days of delivery. Returns will be accepted only after they are approved by our team.

If you receive the wrong order/product, contact us immediately after you receive the order. It is necessary that you return the order/product in its original packaging.

Refund

Once we receive the returned order/product, we will process your refund. All refunds shall be processed to the original payment method used when placing the order. It may take 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect in your account.

In the case of a delayed/lost order, if you receive the order after receiving a refund/reshipment, you should either return the additional shipment or retain the second order by paying for it. Failing to do so will incur a charge. For further information, please contact our customer support team.
