GENERAL DELIVERY INFORMATION:
Hearns Hobbies uses Australia Post Regular and Express Services for online orders. On occasion, we may use a courier service such as TNT. Getting your goods to you safely and swiftly is of utmost importance to us. To ensure the secure delivery of orders to the correct recipients our carriers all require someone to sign for the consignments at the final destination.
DELIVERY COSTS AND TIMES:
Delivery charges and ETA depend on your location, how much you have purchased, and, what freight method you have selected. As a general rule, we aim for a 24-hour turnaround from the moment your order has been received to the order being shipped from our store. There are times when this may stretch out to 48 hours but that is generally a case of items being temporarily out of stock. The delivery service we use is provided by Australia Post and delivery times are only there as indicatives. Please note that the Express service is overnight for selected destinations; please refer to the Australia Post (AUSPOST) website for details.
WARNING: Shipping of dangerous goods is prohibited (Including: Nitro, Rocket Fuel, Fuel Tablets). Aerosol based products can be shipped only via Standard (Road) Shipping.

Hearns Hobbies reserves the right to upgrade the freight method to a courier service at no extra cost to the recipient if the selected method of freight is inappropriate.
Hearns Hobbies reserves the right to cancel an order if it deems the freight method is not appropriate to ensure the parcel arrives in an acceptable condition.
Please note that items greater than 5 cubic kg's CANNOT be shipped to PO Boxes. We must have a street address (please ensure this is correct as we are not held accountable for wrong entry of details) for any order totalling over the 5 cubic kg mark, or, any order greater than 1050 mm in length. As our carriers require a signature at the point of delivery it is a requirement that you provide Hearns Hobbies with a delivery address where someone will be pre-sent to sign for the consignment during business hours (9 am - 5 pm, Monday to Friday). Work addresses are often given by customers to make this process easier.
INSURANCE:
It is highly recommended by Hearns Hobbies to opt for additional Insurance or "Extra Cover" to protect your delivery from possible damage or loss on the carriers part. If an item that is not insured is lost/damaged during delivery/transit then the lost item compensation/refund is up to the discretion of the carrier.
Hearns Hobbies offers shipping with Insurance/"Extra Cover", however this option is not applied by default and is at the discretion of the buyer to select upon checkout. Standard shipping DOES NOT include insurance by default.
Hearns Hobbies IS NOT responsible for refunding or replacing a damaged/broken items with no insurance.

The carrier will need to inspect the box and verify any damage before a refund or replacement can occur.
