1. When will my order be dispatched?: Your order will be dispatched within 1-3 business days. During peak times there may be delays. Our distribution centre is located in Wollongong, NSW, and is closed on weekends and public holidays.

2. How long does delivery take?

All orders are dispatched from Wollongong, NSW. We use Star Track for satchels under 5kg. We use Toll Priority & Hunter Express for loose cartons and pallets. This will take 1-6 days to major cities across Australia, depending on your location. Regional and rural areas may take longer as 3rd party contractors may be engaged for the delivery. Please note that 95% of deliveries are completed on time. Your delivery may be delayed due to unexpected volume increases or other delays outside of our control.

For larger items or multiple pallets, we use the Main Freight Express service which may take 1-2 days longer, depending on your location.

3. How much does delivery cost?: Shipping is calculated at the cart stage during checkout, taking into calculation the quantity or items ordered, the weight, and the dimensions.

4. How can I track my order?

Once we have packed and dispatched your order, we will send you a confirmation email with a courier information and tracking number.

Note: Tracking details may need some time to appear. If tracking information does not appear initially, please come back later and check again.

5. Can I change my delivery address after my order has been placed?: Unfortunately we cannot change delivery address after you have been charged. Please carefully check over your order and shipping information before completing your order.

6. What services are not included in my shipping cost?

7. What is a tailgate service?

Tailgate service is offered for bulky or overweight orders and where no off-loading facilities are available (i.e. forklift or loading dock).

If a tailgate service is required, we will request further shipping instructions including your opening hours, receiver name and number, delivery access and drop off point for signature.

Additional information for tailgate services

Tailgate trucks are only designed to deliver to a large open area with at least 8m clearance. The maximum length of a pallet that can be tailgated is 2.3m. Any pallet over this size must be offloaded by a forklift.

Pallets requiring a crane offload e.g. Boxing rings and MMA cages – will need at least 11m clearance.

If your business or residence falls within any of the below issues – your delivery will be void and sent back to the nearest servicing depot – extra fees will apply.
- Steep driveways
- Narrow roads (permitting trucks to enter)
- Main road for delivery is a clearway or is signed as a no stopping zone
- Less than 8m clearance for tailgate trucks
- Less than 11m clearance for Crane assisted deliveries
- Closed during 9am-5pm weekday
- If there are no receivers to sign and assist.

All pallets sent by SMAI require a receiver’s signature – no goods can be left as Instructed - Incorrectly supplied to information resulting in 2nd delivery The final decision for crane deliveries lies with the Freight Company’s logistic manager. If your delivery has been set up as a tailgate and a crane service is required by your local servicing freight company then the additional fee for a crane delivery will need to be paid by the receiver prior to delivery. Please note that the original freight charge is not refundable.

At SMAI we have a duty of care to all our customers. When ordering heavy objects and machines we will always professionally pack and secure the items accordingly. We always indicate the amount of individual items on each pallet and request the receiver/customer to account for this label on the outside of the pallet. You/a receiver must sign for goods.

If the shipment is damaged, you and the driver must acknowledge this on the consignment note. You are responsible for checking the breakdown and quantity of items on pallets.

Pallets are only delivered to large ground floor loading areas.

8. How will I know when my order is on the way?

Once you receive your tracking number, you can login to the freight company's website and elect to receive email notifications where available. Please note that tracking details may need some time to appear.

It is often difficult to estimate a time of delivery. Therefore, we recommend you nominate a business address for shipping to ensure you are able to receive your goods on first delivery.

9. Will I have to sign for delivery?: You will no longer need to sign for your delivery. Where we have received written authority from you to delivery the goods without signature on delivery, SMAI and the courier release all responsibility and liability for any loss or damages that may occur after delivery. Any claims for transit insurance will also be voided.
