Shipping & Orders Policy

When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming the receipt of your order: this email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A contract between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the goods which you ordered have been dispatched to you. Only those goods listed in the confirmation e-mail sent at the time of dispatch will be included in the contract formed. In many instances we will need to collate products from different companies so that you can conveniently use our store as a ONE-STOP-SHOP. This usually saves you freight costs and allows you to pick multiple products.

 

Free Shipping!

Any item with that qualifies for "Free Shipping" ships to ACT, NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and eligible metropolitan areas for free. 

Free Shipping is not available to Far North WA, NT, Far North QLD, TAS or any non-metropolitan or remote location within Australia, Unless the items fit into flat rate satchel Shipping as determined by us. Charges to these locations will be displayed in the cart during checkout.

Relative shipping discounts may be applied for these areas in lieu of 'free' shipping on products that are eligible for free shipping. 

 

Express Shipping

When you need it fast, we offer Express Shipping on most items throughout our website provided they are in stock. Eparcel express post and Startrack Express are our preferred couriers for Express delivery. Additional charges will apply for these selections.

 

Bulky Shipping – Heavy or Specialty Items

All Shipping is subject to volume & weight, Shipping of larger & heavy items will incur calculated live API rates from Auspost or Startrack Express. Please input your post code into the shipping calculator for rates. Items & Parcels over 5kgs are charged according to their physical weight or cubic weight equivalent, whichever is greater.

 

Dispatch policy and shipping addresses

Most orders will be dispatched from Webberton, and we may use a range of different couriers for the deliveries. Most orders are sent via a tracked service. Some orders may be dispatched directly from our supplier in order to shorten delivery time - you may be notified if this applies to your order.

Please allow up to 1-3 business days for dispatch from our warehouse and allowed an additional 2-10 business days for delivery. Unfortunately, couriered services cannot be sent to PO Box addresses as this is not a service they provide.

Whilst placing your order we ask you for a valid shipping address, email address and your best contact phone number during checkout. Prior to dispatch, we may contact you via telephone, SMS and/or email to confirm shipping information for the delivery. To prevent your order being delayed, please respond as soon as possible during business hours, Monday to Friday.

Items sent by courier are delivered during business hours and require a signature for confirmation of delivery. We therefore strongly recommend you nominate a Work Address or similar for shipping. If there is no-one at the delivery address when the courier attempts delivery, you may be charged a re-delivery fee, if that is the case the responsibility is transferred to you as we send your consignment details to you so that you can track and trace your online. Please also check your junk mail as it may be in there sometimes.

In the event your order is delayed once in transit or you have missed a delivery and it has returned back into the logistic depot, we will try our best to assist you with the resource we have, however your first step should be to contact the courier provider as they will ALWAYS have more details and information regarding your freight then we will.

 

Items damaged in transit

DO NOT sign for a package if you suspect it is damaged. Signing for an item means it has been received in good order, and any damage is no longer the courier's responsibility. If your item is damaged, you must call us (08 9921 6888) or email our customer service team (info@suncitymotorcycles.com.au) to notify us within 24 hours. So we can help you best, please include your name, address, items ordered, and a brief description of the apparent damage. All items will be assessed by us on a case-by-case basis.

 

Parcel tracking

Goods sent by Auspost & courier can be tracked using the usual "track-and-trace" feature on carrier websites. You will find your Tracking Number (if applicable) and courier website address printed at the bottom of your shipment confirmation email. It is your responsibility to track and communicate with the courier for SPECIFIC DELIVERY TIMES once it has left our warehouse.

 

Can the courier or delivery person call me prior to deliver

Unfortunately as often as we request this, we get denied as many times. No courier or Australia post worker will call you prior to delivery despite however many times we have requested this. If you select the 'courier service' we will send you a tracking number which you can use to find out an estimated time of arrival for your goods, or alternatively have it sent to a business address. Most customers try to organise a delivery time with the carrier which is then their responsibility.

 

Can I ask for the courier to leave the goods at my door or reception (Apartments / Workplaces)?

Whilst it is possible, we highly recommend that you don’t. All freight warranty & insurance will be void. Only do so at your own risk, if someone steals it, Sun City Motorcycles & the freight company will not be held accountable. If you will not be able to take the delivery, it might be worth asking a friend or neighbour or reception to take delivery and sign a confirmation of delivery on behalf of you.

 

Pickup Policy

Sometimes it is easier to pick up from our store. We will advise when your order is ready to be picked up especially when we need to consolidate different brands and components together. We may call or email you with a confirmation to advise when you can pick up is ready from the store. 

We may also contact you in regards to pick up at different warehouse's that are close by which may be more convient for you. If this happens, we will give you the address and confirmation to do so.

 

Request for ID or Proof of Purchase (POP) upon pickup

When you arrive to our store or warehouse, we may ask for you to provide your Identification and/or (POP) to confirm you are the person who has placed the order. Refusing to provide identification and/or (POP) will also mean we refuse to hand over your order until we are satisfied with your information.

 

Request for additional identification

For some high-value orders, we may ask you to provide additional identification e.g, credit card information. You will be notified by us by telephone or email if this confirmation is required. We appreciate your understanding as we try to minimise fraudulent transactions for both customer, financial institutions, and Sun City Motorcycles alike.
