Authority To Leave

Standard Goods

By default, orders are not dispatched with an 'Authority to Leave' service - however this service can be selected prior to the order being delivered via the Australia Post Tracking Portal or via the Australia Post communications which are triggered as part of this process.

If Authority To Leave is not requested, all orders must be signed for upon delivery or if no one is home, a card will be left at the premises to advise a pick up point from most likely your local post office..

Bulky / Dangerous Goods

Goods shipped by Star Track are Automatically assigned and Authority to Leave status as they cannot be taken to Post offices due to their size or content.

In the event that a driver feels it is unsafe to leave, the order will be returned to the closest Star Track Depot where it can be collected and a 'Sorry we Missed You' card will be left'. You can either arrange to collect the order from the depot or arrange for another delivery attempts.

Please Note: Only ONE Delivery Reattempt can be requested If the receiver is not at home for the next attempt, the order will again be taken back to the depot where again it can be collected. If it is not collected within 10 days, the order will be sent back to Opposite Lock and a refund provided - minus the cost of the original freight, any expenses incurred by ourselves as a results of re-attempted deliveries and returning the items to our warehouse.

We do not charge restocking fees

When will my order be shipped?

The warehouse only operates during business hours Monday to Friday.

Opposite Lock strives to dispatch all orders within 24 hours of the order being received. However during lockdowns and peak periods, your order may be shipped the following business day. 

How long the order takes to arrive depends on the order service level selected - Express Vs Standard or if the order has to be shipped using Star Track for Dangerous or Bulky Goods - please view the Different Delivery Options to view different delivery options and expected delivery times

Whilst we try and quote accurate shipping times, we use external suppliers and times quoted may vary depending on remoteness of location.

Note: Please allow one extra day for processing for each public holiday

My order is delayed - why is this?

Whilst me make every effort to ensure orders are shipped on time and arrive on time, there may be some reasons why this cannot occur. These are listed below:

  • Public Holidays: Please allow one extra day for each public holiday
  • Stock Levels: Whilst the system should only allow the purchase of items which are currently in stock at our warehouse, there may be on some instances of multiple customers purchasing the same instance in a short time frame which does not allow the website to update the stock levels in time to reflect actual available stock levels or particular items.
  • Incorrect Address details: If an address has been entered which we cannot deliver to, we may not be aware until such time the freight provider is unable to locate the property. Whilst we do have an address checking system in place, there may be sme occasins where it gets this wrong and cannot deliver to the address being entered. Therefore to avoid any potential issues it is important that that address entered is a real and deliverable address which currently is able to receive mail by Australia Post.
  • Security Checks: Our payment providers may hold payments on orders due to what they consider activity which needs to be verified with the payment account holder

Returning an Online Order

We accept that there will be times when a customer may need to return their purchase and will try and accommodate these requests wherever possible.

  1. Product Fault or Defect
  2. Change of Mind
  3. Item not as Described
  4. Wrong Item Shipped

Please Note: Online purchases cannot be returned in-store. Please visit our returns page for more information on how to make a return.

Where is my Tax Invoice?
