Delivery & Shipping Policy

Vanders Glass Delivery & Shipping Policy.

We ship Australia wide!*

With a range of dedicated courier services, we work closely with our courier partners so we can send your mirror and have it arrive in perfect condition. The size of your order and the fragility of the items dictate which courier service will be used. Some mirror sizes cant be shipped interstate due to the large dimensions.

Exclusions apply to semi-remote and remote areas, contact us for details if this applies to you.

Please note all couriers we utilise are an external company and are separate to Vanders Glass. We try to work with our couriers the best we can to ensure your mirror is safely delivered but once it leaves our warehouse we have no control over it from there. We will do our best to assist you with any enquiries you may have but ultimately the courier company does need to be contacted in most instances.

Delivery service:

Local Geelong / Melbourne

Most Geelong and Melbourne orders Vanders Glass will personally deliver. In this event we will bring the mirror inside for you and place it where you would like it. The mirror will arrived unboxed for you. If you live in an apartment, Vanders Glass reserves the right to deliver the mirror to a foyer or ground floor lobby if carrying the item upstairs will be an OHS risk.

Interstate or courier service delivery:

We utilise a range of couriers to offer you the most efficient and cost effective shipping services. 

Standard Delivery will usually occur Monday to Friday (8am to 6pm) but could occur outside of these hours during peak periods.

Couriers are not able to phone prior to delivery.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide a choice of delivery day or time for these types of deliveries.

To get an approximate delivery date please refer to the tracking number provided, and you can also call the courier’s office phone number for the most direct response.

For your convenience, you have the option to give authorisation to leave the item at the door.

Please note once the mirrors are picked up via the courier, we receive the same tracking information as you, therefore further questions regarding delivery are best answered by the courier.

Delivery is a fast and cost effective shipping method that delivers direct to your front door, mailbox, front entrance, foyer, reception or other ground floor parcel receiving location (sorry, the courier drivers cannot go up stairs or go past the front door).

Due to the security and liability restrictions of our couriers, we only offer curbside delivery and the customer is responsible for bringing any products into their home. We recommend that you have someone available to help you carry the items into your home, unpack and install your furniture.

 Dispatch

Orders are usually dispatched within 1 – 4 business days of receiving full payment for the order during ordinary operating business times, exceptions may occur around busy periods such as Christmas and New Year.

If you wish to have your order collected by a third party carrier, you must notify us with the name of the Carrier Company and the pick-up time. Please note, if you choose this option, you will be solely reliable for loss or damage of any items within your order and Vanders Glass will not replace a lost or damaged item.

Lost items

In the case of any problems with your delivery, Vanders Glass will be in direct contact with the carrier to resolve the issue as quickly and with as little inconvenience to you as possible. We will make every effort to contact you and keep you informed of the progress of our investigation and where appropriate, deliver a replacement.

Damages / Returning items

On rare occasions as our products are fragile and contain glass items are can be damaged in transit. If an item arrives and the packaging or the item itself is clearly and significantly damaged, you must take photos or videos showing the damage and email us immediately within 24 hours of receiving the mirror.

The type of remedy we offer will depend upon the circumstances. We will work collaboratively with you to find an outcome that is in line with our warranty and returns policy and one that you’re happy with. For example we may arrange to:

All damages must be reported to us in writing within 24 hours of receiving the goods. You must include photo evidence of the damages.

Please note: we reserve the right to not collect damaged goods. As the item contains broken glass, some couriers may not return the product due to OHS. We will in accordance with our terms and conditions replace damaged items. The customer agrees to be bound by these delivery conditions upon placement of order by any method.

If we require you to return the product to us and you are an interstate customer we will pay the cost of the return if the issue is deemed a defect. For the  product to be returned we will require you to print off a shipping label and stick it on the original packaging and repackage the item.

If you are a local Geelong/Melbourne customer you can return the product to our warehouse at an arranged time or we will arrange a day/time for collection. Please note it is the customers responsibility to return an item or allow enough time for an item to be collected/returned by us in order for a refund or return to be processed. 

Please note: we reserve the right to refuse cancellation/refund of any order if:

You are under the duty to retain items and take reasonable care of them while in your possession.

If the product is required to be returned for repair, the item must be repackaged in its original packaging, reducing the risk of further damage to the product. Packing and returning the item in a manner that will not damage the product is the responsibility of the sender. Additional packaging material or replacement packaging material is not the responsibility of Vanders Glass.  

Shipping Costs:

Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your replacement product to reach you may vary.

Refunds will not exceed the overall value of the product under any circumstances, including installation time, damage, or additional costs incurred. Refunds will be issued in the same method of payment as the original payment; i.e. if a purchase was made with a credit card, a refund will be issued to the original account.
