Delivery

Our delivery options, timeframes and costs are as below:

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Please allow 1-3 business days for your order to be packed before it's shipped. Delivery times begin once an order has been packed and picked up by the courier. Please allow additional packing time during peak periods (such as sales or public holidays). 

*Please note that delivery timeframes are estimates only and may vary with peak sale periods, possible courier delivery issues and other influences beyond the control of Herschel.

Split Deliveries:
If you've ordered more than one item, your order may be split into multiple deliveries if we're unable to source all of your products from one dispatch location. If your order has been split into multiple deliveries, you'll receive a separate tracking email for each delivery.

Authority to Leave:
When you place your order, you will have the option to give Authority to Leave. This means that if it's safe to do so, your delivery will be left unattended if you're not home to accept it. Please note that StarTrack and Australia Post have the right to override this instruction in the instance that they deem your order unsafe to leave unattended. If you do not provide Authority to Leave, your delivery will be redirected to your local post office if nobody is home to accept it. For further information, please see here.

The lead-up to the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year. We want to make sure your order arrives on time, and a seamless Returns process is in place.

Extended Holiday Returns Policy:

All online purchases made between 1st November 2023 and 31st December 2023 will have an extended returns period of 60 days. When returning your item, please make sure it meets our return policy requirements found here.

Orders made beyond this timeframe will follow our regular 30-day return policy.

*Please Note: Delivery timeframes are a guideline only, and may vary with possible courier delivery issues and other external influences beyond the control of Herschel.

From everyone at Herschel, we wish you a very happy holiday and new year.

Once your order has left our warehouse, you'll receive an email from our courier with a tracking number and a link to track its delivery. Your tracking number will become active once the driver has picked up and scanned your parcel. See our Delivery Timeframes to estimate the arrival of your order.

Alternatively, click 'track my order' below and enter your tracking number on the StarTrack website for delivery updates.

What is Authority to Leave?

Authority to leave (ATL) is unselected by default at the checkout. If this option is checked, the courier will not require a signature for delivery and will leave the parcel in a safe place if no one is home. You agree that the parcel is deemed 'delivered' when left at your premises. 

What if I selected ATL and my parcel is stolen? 

Herschel will not be held liable for any stock loss, due to theft or negligence if Authority To Leave is selected at the time of checkout and proof of delivery has been provided from our courier.

I would like to sign for my order, how can I ensure this? 
If you would prefer to sign for the parcel, do not select the option "I give authority to leave this item at the address listed above" at checkout. If no one is home at the time of delivery, the parcel will be taken to your local Post Office for collection. 

I've been notified that my order has been delivered, but I haven't received it!

• Check your tracking details. Your order may have been taken to your local Post Office. 
• Check the surroundings of your property/mailbox. The courier may leave your order in a partially obscured spot to keep it safely away from street view. 

If you have any enquiries relating to the whereabouts of your parcel, contact StarTrack directly on 13 23 45 or get in touch with our Herschel Experts below.

Once your order has been placed, we're unable to modify your order. This includes changing the colour or size of an item, and adding or removing items from your order. 

If you haven't received an order confirmation via email shortly after your purchase this may be due to:

• Your order is still processing in our systems

Please contact our Herschel Experts here if you haven't received your order confirmation within 24 hours, we'll be happy to assist. 

We aim to fulfil every order placed on our website, however, if your order has been cancelled or refunded this may be due to: 

• The item is not available/not in good condition.
  If your item(s) have been cancelled, this could be due to stock unavailability, or your item was not in satisfactory condition to be sent out. If this happens, you will receive an email indicating that a particular item you ordered is out of stock and you will be refunded the amount you paid for the item(s).
• An error in the listing of the item. 
  Although rare, if an item on our site is listed with an incorrect price, product description or photo, your order may be cancelled.   
• Our system has flagged your order for security reasons.
  If your order does not pass our security check or we have not received additional information or further verification requested from you, your order may be cancelled. This is to protect our customers, their personal information, and the protection of their funds.
