Delivery Time Estimates
When will my order arrive?
Your order arrival will depend on:
- dispatch time (see 'Order processing Times' below)
- postage type chosen at checkout (Parcel Post or Express Post)
- public holidays and weekends (when Aus Post may not be working)
- Christmas cut off dates, and congestion in the postal network
- your location
- whether you choose Signature on Delivery or Authority To Leave
Please use the Australia Post delivery times calculator (our post code is 4165 Redland Bay):
https://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/calculate-postage-delivery-times/#/
Alternatively, please see the Australia Post website for their delivery estimates chart: https://auspost.com.au/sending/delivery-speeds-and-coverage#delays
Our processing/dispatch times will need to be considered in addition to the Aus Post delivery time estimates. As our team require time to process and dispatch your order.
We suggest that it’s best to allow time for delays that may be experienced across Australia within the postal network. As much as we’d love to deliver your cloth to your door, pop the kettle on and have a chat, we do have to place our trust in your postie.
Will my order arrive by Christmas?
See our Christmas Order Cut-Off Dates page for information on ordering in time for Christmas 2023.
Postal network delays (xmas season, natural disasters, COVID-19)
We suggest that it’s best to allow time for delays that may be experienced across Australia within the postal network due to:
- natural disasters
- busy Christmas Shopping Season (Oct to Dec)
- COVID-19
Whilst we are diligent with packing and sending your product orders by our promised dispatch times, once the parcel is dispatched we are at the mercy of Australian shipping companies, who are experiencing unprecedented demand due to COVID-19.
As much as we’d love to deliver your cloth to your door, pop the kettle on and have a chat, we do have to place our trust in your postie. Our goal is always to make our Express Shipping option affordable, so please choose Express Shipping if you’re needing your cloth with haste.
Why we use Aus Post
For most of our parcels we use Australia Post due to their wide-reaching postal network, and their ability to deliver to PO Boxes, Parcel Collect Boxes, and if delivery is missed customers are able to collect their order from a local Post Office.
Other courier providers are also facing delays and challenges with COVID-19, and whilst these couriers may be faster at times they will not deliver to PO Boxes, Parcel Collect Boxes, and charge significant re-delivery fees for unsuccessful delivery, and their depots are often very far away for collection of a missed delivery.
So we avoid usually couriers and lodge our parcels with Australia Post.
If you require your parcel to be sent with a courier, please ask our friendly team via email on info@tableclothkingdom.com.au and we may be able to assist with a freight quote.
Aus Post have removed 'Next Business Day Guarantee' for Express Post
Since the emergence of Covid-19, Australia Post have removed the ‘Next Business Day’ guarantee for Express Post Parcels sent within the Express Network.
Express Post is still the fastest, and most wide-reaching shipping option we have available, however the delivery dates are only estimates as per the Australia Post website:

Incorrect order details
If you have placed an order with incorrect shipping/delivery address details, and you have not yet received a ‘Your order has shipped’ email from us, then please email us the necessary changes to your delivery details as soon as possible.

Important: Please double-check your shipping address at checkout.
The address you provide will be used for delivery, so ensure it is accurate before completing your order. We recommend not relying on auto-fill, as errors can occur.
An address entered incorrectly at checkout may have come from auto-fill data in your internet browser, or previous addresses in your Google Pay account, Shop Pay account, or PayPal account. Please ensure you update addresses and delete old addresses in these accounts to reduce the risk of errors when shopping online.
If you need to update your address after placing an order with us, please email info@tableclothkingdom.com.au as soon as possible.
However, please note that our system generates shipping labels automatically when the order is processed in the warehouse, so we may not be able to make changes. While you can email us with a new address, we cannot guarantee we’ll be able to update it in time before packing and dispatch.
If you spot an address mistake after your order has shipped, please contact the carrier directly to arrange any necessary changes.
We cannot cover the cost of additional postage or return shipping due to address errors. We are not responsible for any additional fees or delays caused by incorrect information provided at checkout.
