Authority to Leave on parcels
 
Should you elect to leave order comments requesting your order is left according to instructions, we will try and ensure those instructions are followed. We may occasionally add authority to leave to parcels where we see the situation is sensible to do so and the order value is below our threshold. If we have elected to utilise authority to leave, we will take full responsibity for any lost or damaged packages. If you request authority to leave and we follow your instructions, we will not take responsibility for lost, damaged or stolen packages. We will not use customer authority to leave instructions where orders exceed our 'dollar value threshold for authority to leave' or where we deem your order to be at high risk.
 
Mailbag / PMB & Rural Mail Service Delivery
 
Please note we accept orders for shipping to these addresses. Due to the complexity of the delivery of these services we are unable to guarantee deliveries using these services as the point of delivery. We are happy to ship items to these locations however the customer will bear the risk of any loss or damage as we are unable to obtain a delivery signature or confirmation when delivering to these special services.
 
Upon special request, we can obtain special transit insurance for these shipments if there is concern. If you would like us to do so you must notify us in the order comments at the time the order is placed and we will respond prior to shipping with an updated quote to include the additional insurance cost.
 
Transit Times
 
Transit times displayed for the services offered are a guide only, they are not guaranteed. 95% of deliveries are achieved within the times quoted, however on rare occasions where events occur that are outside of our control or delivery is to remote locations, delivery times may take longer than the quoted time frame.
 
Our same day shipping cut off is 1pm AEST, any orders placed after this time may not be dispatched until the following business day.

We process orders from 9am - 4pm AEST Monday through Friday, should you have any special requirements for delivery of your items please use the order notes section when you complete the checkout process, and we will endeavor to ensure any instructions are followed.
 
Please note - once your order has passed to the carrier of your choice it is entirely at their discretion as to how they deliver any items.  
 
Once your payment has been received, we will endeavor to despatch your order as quickly as possible. Most orders placed prior to 1pm AEST will ship the same day, orders after this time will be processed as soon as possible and may still go the same day, but for operational reasons we cannot guarantee. 
 
We endeavor to despatch items as quickly as possible. We will always contact you if despatch will not be possible within 48 business hours except where orders have been placed on back order. If your order is time critical we recommend contacting us prior to purchase to discuss so that we can make sure we can deliver according to your expectations.
 
Public Holidays

Order Status
 
To view the status of your order at any time simply log in to your account using the details you supplied when creating your account. 
 
Shipping Notification
 
We will endeavor to notify all customers via email once the status of an order is dispatched, this is purely so that you are aware it is on the way and that you should expect delivery. Tracking details of any shipments where available will be included in the message. However not all shipments will have tracking facilities available, again this depends entirely on the method of carriage used.
 
----------------------------------------------
 
Backorders / Change of Mind on Backorders
 
It is our highest priority to have the products we sell in stock 100% of the time but the nature of the business does mean that on occasion items do sell out. Our new website has a live inventory system so customers can see when an item is back ordered prior to placing the order.
 
1. When an item is listed as 'in stock' on the website at the time of purchase and the stock becomes not available, we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible. We will provide an estimated time frame for when we can deliver it and at that point it will be your choice wether to proceed with the order or cancel and try eleswhere. In this circumstance there will be no costs applicable to the customer and Flight Store Pty Ltd will happily process your choice of a refund, credit or product swap.
 
2. When an item is listed as 'backorder' on the website at the time of purchase, the customer agrees to purchase the item knowing that it will not be shipped until stock is received by Flight Store Pty Ltd. We will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible and we will provide an estimated time frame for when we can deliver it.
 
NOTE: that at the point the order is confirmed and the customer processes the payment, Flight Store Pty Ltd immediately incur costs involved in processing the payment and dealing with the order.
 
3. Change of Mind on Backorders
Where the dispatch estimate time is reasonable (less than 20 Business Days) and the customer subsequently 'changes their mind' and requires a refund, then a 5% restocking charge plus $25 admin charge will apply.
 
Alternatively, Flight Store Pty Ltd will offer a full account credit or a change of item(s) to the same value.
 
Where there may be an extended lead time exceeding 20 business days or the product is permanently not available we will waive the restocking charges and process a full refund without deduction if requested.
