Q: Why is the shipping calculator not working?

A: If you are not receiving a calculated shipping rate for your order, it is likely your order is either very heavy, large or to a regional/remote area of Australia. We can still deliver to your address, however, we just need to obtain a custom freight quote for you which can take between 1-3 business days.

Your shopping cart will then be sent to us with your details and we will then calculate the most economical freight option for you.

B:  With large orders, we need prior notice to prepare orders, especially if you are sending your own transport to pick up, as it takes time to pack everything onto pallets and wrap, normally 24 hours prior notice is required.  

Q: How long will it take to have my order delivered?

A: We will dispatch your order from our warehouse within 1-2 business days upon clearance of your payment and confirmation of delivery address. Lead time varies as per the destination. Please note, we cannot advise the exact day and time delivery will occur.

Q: Can my order be delivered in the weekend?

A: Unfortunately not. The courier company does not deliver on weekends or public holiday's.

Q: What if my order weighs more than 250kg?

A: If you require delivery to a residential address and your order contains any single boxed items over 50kg, or combination of heavy/large items : (over 250kg), a tail lift service will likely be required and costs $159. The tail lift charge is not included in the shipping calculator on this website and needs to be added to the total if the service is required. Please contact us if you are unsure whether this service will be required for your order.

The following situations can be exempt from tail lift charges:

  • Deliveries to Sydney Metro addresses where the receiver can organise manual unload.
  • Deliveries to business addresses with forklift access.
  • Deliveries to local depots for customer pick up, please ask us for the closest depot if you are in a regional/remote area.
  • An order to a residential address weighing up to 250kg, where no single boxed item exceeds 50kg.

Q: What is a tail lift?

A: A tail lift is commonly used to lift heavy items on and off delivery trucks when a forklift is not available, as such this is a special service which couriers charge additional fees for.

The tail lift service is only applicable to properties on the ground level. It is the buyer's responsibility to bring the goods inside of the premises. 

Tail lift might also be unavailable under certain conditions:

  • Properties in certain rural areas;
  • Properties with steep or unusual driveways that could cause safety issues with tail lift unloading;
  • Properties on extremely narrow street fronts;
  • Any objects that exceed 2.2 metres in length

For more information, feel free to contact us directly.

Q: If I am not home can my order be left at my address?

A: Yes, providing your order is under 250kg. when checking out, please provide your instructions in the "Special Delivery Notes" field to leave your order in a specific place e.g 'Please leave around the back of house behind the bins.'

  • If goods can't be left at your location (drivers discretion) they will be taken back to the nearest depot where you will need to collect goods at your convenience. Re-sending goods will incur extra delivery charges.
  • To prevent paying extra delivery charges, please ensure you provide us with special delivery instructions.
  • Please note: For deliveries under 250kg, couriers are unable to call customers before arrival

Q: What if items are missing from my order?

Short delivery:  If your order is over 22kg and under 250kg it is possible that the items have been sent via a courier in loose boxes. Occasionally the courier may deliver the items in different batches. i.e If you order ten items and you receive only eight, then the delivery is short (of two items) = short delivery. The courier will then deliver the remaining items in the next 1-3 business days.

Out of stock items: Occasionally, some items may be temporarily out of stock and will be delivered at a later date as a back order, however, you will usually be notified of this prior to despatch. If you believe you are missing any boxes or items after carefully checking and opening everything you have received, (multiple items may be combined in one box), please check your invoice and courier delivery dockets to confirm.

Any claims for missing items must be made within 7 days of receiving your order (no exceptions) so that we can investigate whether it was a warehouse despatch error or items have been temporarily lost in transit. The sooner we are notified, the better chance we have of resolving missing items. Please contact customer service at sales@gymdirect.com.au or phone 1300 488 866.

Q: How long will it take for my order to arrive?

A: Your order will be despatched from our Warehouse within 1-2 business days after your payment has been received. Once despatched it will take approx. 3-7 business days to arrive at your delivery address.
