What if I'm not home when the books are delivered?
If the carrier (default) is Australia Post, they will usually send you a notification card for you to pick it up at your local post office. Unfortunately, since we do not currently have an in-house courier, we are unable to accurately estimate the times that parcels will be delivered.
If you provide a business address, it will be delivered by courier during office hours and must be signed for. If it is a residential address and will not be at home, we can instruct the courier to leave the parcel on the doorstep (or other specified spot). Otherwise, the couriers will leave a calling card, so that you can call them to arrange an alternative time.
If you provide a residential address but prefer to have it delivered to a business address, please contact us by email sales@bookware.com.au or phone (02) 9922-6266 (or 1800-734-567 outside Sydney) asap, so that we can process the changes.
