Flat Rate Shipping: 

We offer a standardised shipping option for eligible orders, subject to a delivery fee of:

$19.90 for WA residents

$24.90 for SA, VIC, NSW, NT and TAS residents.

The flat rate shipping fees may change at any time at our own discretion and any new pricing will be reflected on our website.

Please note that this rate does not apply to orders that meet any of the following conditions:

  • Total order length, width or height exceeds 1 metre.
  • Cubic weight exceeds 50kg.
  • The total order requires palletisation.

Express Shipping:

Customers may choose Express Shipping at their own discretion. Where goods are sent through Australia Post, once orders have left our premises, Aquaponics WA and Hydroponic Xpress is not responsible for the delivery times and customers are advised to check their tracking and refer to the Australia Post website for more information on Express Shipping.

Bulky Orders Shipping:

A bulky item is any order where:

The total order length, width or height is greater than 1.2 metres and/or;

The cubic weight exceeds 50kg and/or;

The total order requires palletisation.

Where an order is classified as bulky, the customer will be able to have a quote for shipping. Shipping quotes may take 2-3 business days. Once a quote has been obtained, the customer will receive a notification and be able to refresh shopping cart order totals to get the newly quoted shipping price. The customer can choose to accept or cancel the order if they do not wish to pay the quoted shipping price.

In some cases, it is more cost effective to delivery a bulky order to a customer’s local freight yard. Aquaponics WA and Hydroponic Xpress will liaise with the customer in this event.

All bulky orders will require a physical delivery address, not a PO Box address.

Free Shipping:

We offer free shipping for orders exceeding a total value of $299.90 that do not exceed the flat rate conditions.

Live Rate Shipping:

We offer live-rate shipping options at checkout. These options are available on all orders that do not meet the Bulky Order Shipping conditions.  In some cases, the live rate may be cheaper than the flat rate for orders that qualify. Customers can opt for the cheaper option at checkout at their discretion.

Some of our products are considered “Dangerous Goods” and will only be available for WA residents to pick up in-store. Customer wishing to have dangerous goods shipped can request a shipping price by contacting the store on admin@aquaponicswa.com.au and a shipping quote will include any surcharges passed along by the courier company to ship dangerous goods if available for shipping.
