Dropshipzone Shipping Information

Dropshipzone Suppliers work with multiple couriers to provide the most efficient delivery services at the most competitive prices.

FAQs

How long does it take to dispatch to my customers?

Estimated dispatch timeframes depend on the individual Supplier and will usually be 1-2 working days after payment has been received. Our Suppliers cannot guarantee delivery on any specific dates or times. However, we will do our best to communicate with you via email should any unforeseen circumstances arise. 

Note: Delivery timeframes start after payment has been received and the item has been dispatched from the Supplier’s warehouse.

What if my customer provides an undeliverable postcode?

Our Suppliers do their best to offer Australia-wide shipping. However, there are still some postcodes in remote areas that are undeliverable for some SKUs. If your customer provides an undeliverable postcode, the order will be cancelled and refunded automatically via email. If you have further questions about delivering an item to an undeliverable postcode, please contact your Account Manager for more information.

How does shipping to New Zealand work?

Some of our Suppliers will ship to New Zealand using their selected courier service. This will be indicated in the delivery section of the SKU. All orders over NZ$1000 will incur a Duty tax. The courier company will help to process this fee and charge the end customer on arrival. For more information head here.

Who is responsible for missing or damaged packages?

In the case of missing or damaged packages, the Supplier will be held liable. Please refer to our Supplier Service Level Agreement for more information.

What if my customer provides the wrong postage address?

Once you’ve received an order through Dropshipzone, the order details cannot be changed. You can cancel the order as a Dropshipzone Retailer and resubmit the order with the correct address. However, please note that this may result in additional charges to the order. To avoid these charges, we encourage our customers to double-check the accuracy of their shipping address before placing an order.
