Delivery

DELIVERY GUIDELINES & INFORMATION

We require an Australian street or residential address for all deliveries as we cannot deliver orders to a PO Box or parcel locker.

Adriatic Furniture will always strive to provide a premium delivery service to ensure the products you have purchased are delivered, assembled and installed in the correct position in your room of choice in a ground floor property. Please ensure that your room of choice (ground floor) is clear and ready for delivery.

Our priority is to provide a safe and efficient delivery process for our sub-contract delivery partners and all our customers.

Our delivery partners will always extend every professional courtesy, care and assistance when placing your furniture where required. However it is the delivery teams discretion to proceed with a delivery if any danger ensues. Such danger is regarded as anything posing a threat to your furniture, the clients property or their physical health and safety. Their aim is to provide a professional delivery service as well as preventing any damage during transportation of your products when delivered to your home.

Whilst our sub-contractors take extreme care when performing your delivery, Adriatic Furniture will not be held liable for any damage caused when fulfilling your delivery requirement. Any damage to property must be reported directly to the sub contract delivery driver/team and recorded at the time of delivery.

Our delivery teams require your room/s to be ready and clear with sufficient access. We require all customers forewarn us of any access and delivery path challenges, such as narrow stairs or staircases, steep driveways, elevators or partly built homes. You are also required to protect your floors, remove objects which may be in our way that could suffer damage or pose a health and safety risk.

Our delivery teams charge a minimum of $20 per flight of stairs to uplift our furniture. This fee may increase depending on the access and difficulty of the delivery. If for any reason our delivery teams believe that a delivery poses a Health & Safety risk, they are within their rights to refuse to perform a delivery.

All packaging is the responsibility of our valued clients to dispose of in a correct and sustainable manner. Our delivery partners are expected to leave all packaging in a neat and tidy state following your room of choice delivery.

The importance of Health & Safety is our priority, as is our staff, sub contract delivery teams and members of the public. We understand that they must be given the highest level of protection against risks to their Health & Safety. If for any reason our delivery teams believe that a delivery poses a Health & Safety risk, they are within their rights to refuse to perform a delivery. 

If a specialised service is required to uplift any product/s through an unconventional means*, the cost to do so will be at the risk and cost of the purchaser, NOT Adriatic Furniture. In the event of a re-delivery due to the reasons above, you will be charged a minimum re-delivery fee as per the Adriatic Delivery Guide. If there are multiple items, additional charges will apply.

In cases where furniture needs to disassembled and reassembled, a minimum cost of $200.00 + additional redelivery fees will apply. Lounges which need to be disassembled and reassembled will incur a minimum cost of $250.00 + additional redelivery fees. In most cases an independent qualified technician will be required to perform the disassembly and reassembly service.

*Unconventional Means: A height greater than 175cms, requiring a hoist service over a Balcony or balustrade through a window.

DELIVERY & ESTIMATED LEAD TIMES

Every attempt will be made with our logistics partners to meet the estimated delivery time frames quoted. However, the nature of our business means many of our products are imported and we may encounter some unexpected delays which are beyond our control. Keep in mind that your location and order size will ultimately impact the speed of delivery to you.

Delivery dates can only be provided on products that are in stock. If a product/s need to be specially ordered, you will be notified via text message once your products/s have arrived.

You must note that all estimated lead times must be used as a guide only and cannot be guaranteed.

Note: For Interstate Deliveries, please allow up to 15 business days from for all deliveries in case of delays. For non-fragile rural deliveries, please allow up to 12 business days from time of dispatch.

EXPECTATIONS & DELIVERY CHECKLIST

In order for us to provide an, efficient & effective delivery service, we ask you to inform us of any potential difficulties associated with your delivery.

Furniture is also more often large & delicate, therefore we ask that you provide us with as much information which can include measurements and or photos of the delivery path which may include staircases, lifts, steep driveways and narrow hallways / access points.  Our sub contract delivery teams follow a strict delivery process, ensuring a safe, reliable service and as a result, we may require some extra time to deliver your goods.

PRIOR TO DELIVERY

The day prior to delivery, you will receive an SMS on the mobile phone number provided at point of sale, confirming the estimated delivery window and asking you to confirm acceptance. We will also provide a link to the Adriatic Care Guide for all products.  If all of the information is correct, we will require you to text back, ‘OK’.

REGIONAL & INTERSTATE DELIVERIES

At Adriatic, we strive to provide you with the best possible delivery experience to complement our range of exclusive products.

We deliver Australia wide* from Melbourne to metropolitan areas within New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, and South Australia. However, regional deliveries within those states are limited and occasionally we will not be able to make a delivery.

If you’re in a non-delivery area, please phone us on 1300 300 449 and we can provide you with a quote.

Please note that our furniture delivery is to the ground floor only.

If a delivery is in a multi level building or requires difficult access to perform the delivery, the delivery company will not travel past the ground floor front door.

We utilize various delivery methods depending on the size of your order. Flat packed, case and bulky goods are sent via selected freight and courier service providers – these are usually delivered to your door by a single serviceman. Customers may be required to assist the delivery driver to carry heavy or large bulky product/s to your ground floor and/ or front door. Should you have special requirements, please leave clear instructions in the comments section upon the checkout process.

Most courier services do not provide an option to book a specific delivery day or time and surcharges may apply if rescheduling is required. Unpacking, rubbish removal and assembly will not be included with interstate deliveries.

We reserve the right to refuse delivery to specific locations for items which we deem to have a Health & Safety risk. This includes the potential loss or damage of a product, and or to locations that are inaccessible with standard transport and delivery services. In these circumstances, you can choose to have an item delivered using your own couriers, in which case all insurance for loss or damage to the order caused by the delivery will be your responsibility.

Please note: All deliveries are subject to stock availability and estimated lead times vary based on the type of product ordered and the delivery address.

Our delivery locations include metropolitan areas within New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, and South Australia. Regional deliveries within those states are limited and some goods are unable to be delivered.

Due to fragility, size, and packaging, selected products are restricted for delivery to the Melbourne metro area only. These products will not calculate towards the total shipping costs in the cart as they cannot be delivered interstate.
