Obviously we need to cover our freight costs, so there will be an additional charge for urgent deliveries.

How will you ship my order?

We use various methods of Carriers, these include:

  • Australia Post
  • Express Post
  • Direct Freight
  • Fastway Couriers
  • TNT
  • EMS
  • We can also use any courier of your choice at your cost and you arranging collection.

It is very simple, most items are sent via Australia Post - this covers every address in Australia including PO BOXES.

We place your items into a carton, label it and take it to the post office.

We tend to prefer TNT or Fastway when delivering to a business address and AusPost for home addresses, only because the parcel is taken to the local Post Office if you are not home and it makes it easier for collection at the end of the day.

How long will my order take?

Our order fulfillment process is very fast, one of the fastest in the industry. Orders placed before approx 3.00PM (QLD Time) are dispatched immediately to start their journey via one of the above shipping methods.

Due to many variants in customer addresses, product sizes, times that couriers come and go from our warehouse, we will choose the best option for shipping your parcel.

However, if you have any specific requirements please email or call us to discuss your needs.

There are "Humans" throughout the sales process, from website product management, picking, dispatch, long haul couriers to the delivery man knocking on your front door.

So it is important that if something does not go according to plan you are understanding and reasonable when following us up, it is our intention to deliver to our promises.

Do you offer Click & Collect?

The short answer is "most of the time", due to a massive product range we may not have the item available in our Ashmore QLD branch.

It is important before coming to collect that you CALL FIRST 07 5609 4910 to confirm the item is available for sale.

What if I am not available to receive my parcel?

It is important to track your parcel and ensure someone is home to receive the parcel.

If you are not at home when the Carrier tries to deliver your parcel, a calling card will be left and you will need to either go to the Post Office to collect or call the courier company to make other arrangements.  This process will delay the delivery of your parcel.

Carriers operate 9am-5pm, Business Days (Monday to Friday) - we do not have the power to make any carrier deliver at any particular time during the day.

If you use tracking supplied to you via our automated system, this will give you an idea of where your parcel is in the delivery process. The carriers simply say your parcel will be delivered between 9am and 5pm therefore we cannot be more specific than that.

Do you offer free shipping?

Free Shipping only applies to shipping locations within Australia. NZ we offer a discounted rate.

We offer Free Shipping on most products, this has been factored into our pricing structure. Not all products are free due to size/weight or other factors outside our control.

To find out the cost of shipping, simply add products to your shopping cart and the shipping charge will be displayed.

For overseas customers, you will need to register and create an address, the shopping cart will then update the shipping charge.

Orders outside of Australia/NZ will need to be quoted before you purchase or system generated once you have registered. Some items are heavy and we need to charge a freight charge to cover the cost to the courier.

Do you offer International shipping?

We ship overseas however there are some VERY strict guidelines that we will adhere to:

  • We are very strict on payment and will take every course of action to ensure the sale is not fraudulent.
  • Paypal is the preferred method of payment.
  • If for any reason we feel a potential loss to our business the sale will not proceed.
  • For those honest customers, we apologies for the additional information required however the risk for loss is high shipping outside of Australia.
  • We use ARAMEX or TNT for shipping and a quote is necessary for each country - insurance is compulsory. (except NZ)

Duties & Taxes:

  • When shipping to a location outside of Australia, AU GST is not applicable and will be removed from the invoice once an address is added to the order outside of Australia.
  • Australia has a goods and services tax (GST) that is 10% if the delivery address is an Australian address.
  • The BUYER is responsible for all local taxes and duties applicable to his/her country and is payable to the relevant authority.

Faulty goods, for overseas locations.

  • If you are unfortunate enough to receive a faulty item, it is the BUYERS responsibility to return the goods to US in Australia, we will cover the cost of the return parcel, we consider this a fair 50/50 cost.

Freight Information:

The freight charge will appear during the checkout process & we do ship to all parts of Australia.

We ship to PO Boxes however there must be street address with landline phone number as the bill to address. PO Boxes only option is Australia Post.

We use a combination of Australia Post and Couriers to deliver our products and you may occasionally receive 1 or more shipments. It is important that when you order you have the delivery where someone is available to receive and sign for the item.

Returns, Warranty and Refunds

Australian Consumer Law

Our Returns Policy includes, and does not seek to exclude or limit, the rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law (if you are a consumer) and other relevant laws.

If you are a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law:

  • Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
  • Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by a defined time. However, the Australian Consumer Law does recognise that the relevant time period for which a remedy may be available can vary from product to product, depending on factors such as the nature of the product and the price. InFront Technologies adopts the same approach. As you can appreciate, the type of remedy we can offer you may also vary depending on how long it takes you to return the product to us.

All products sold through InFront Technologies are covered by a minimum of 12 Months Manufacturers Warranty. Some products where stated have longer warranties, these are stated in the product listing.

Extended Warranties:

For piece of mind, we offer the purchase of extended warranties these are purchased at the time of sale. This simply extends the manufactures warranty by the period purchased.

Installation:

Many of our products require installation and are sold generally as a "Do it yourself" installation and installed at the customers expense. We have no control over the installation or performance of the product when installed by a third party. Should the product become faulty, the user is required to uninstall and return the faulty product to us for testing and appropriate warranty action. At no time is InFront Technologies responsible for the installation of the product.

Intended use:

It is important to note that products are warranted when used in the environment / method intended from the manufacturer and with in specifications. Use in environments where there is the possibility to reduce the life of the product will exclude the user from any claims or warranty. For example, using products in a marine environment where the product fails due to exposure to salt and corrosion. Installation of the product in an area of high heat or excessive cold will also reduce the life of a product, an example would installation of a recorder in the roof attic where temperatures exceed 50°C regularly.
