Shipping and delivery information

Diatomaceous Earth is a heavy product, and shipping costs can be expensive relative to the purchase price of the DE alone. We are continually sourcing the cheapest possible rates for reliable delivery, and welcome feedback and suggestions from customers.

Our freight calculator should be able to give you rates up to 360kgs with our normal carriers.

Larger quantities can be quoted seperately once we know your requirements.

 

Domestic Shipping by Australia Post

Diatomaceous Earth Online generally uses Australia Post for orders up to 10 kgs, with orders up to 4.5 kgs sent by Regular or Express Post satchel. Freight will be calculated according to your location.  Please enter your State and Postcode in the cart section for the rate by Australia Post.

We aim to mail express post orders within 24 hours of the receipt of your order if possible  however,   Australia Post cannot deliver to other Australian locations overnight.  Express Post generally takes between 2-4 days however it is always faster than Regular Parcel Post.

Regular Parcel Post generally takes between 5 and 9 business days for delivery within Australia. If you have not received your parcel in this time please contact us so we follow up with the post office tracking number.

Orders are generally dispatched on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, orders received before 10am on these days will go out that day, otherwise they will go on the next available day.

 

Courier delivery options

Courier deliveries are door to door.

Delivery by courier can result in a savings, particularly for customers outside the Queensland area.  Please note that the savings are achieved by using a non common carrier and can sometimes  take between 7 and up to 21 days from receipt of order.  If your order is urgent please let us know so we can endeavor to expedite delivery or offer another option. 

Please NOTE that COURIER does not deliver to a PO BOX address. HINT - if your order is over 4.5 kg, try to change your PO Box address to your physical address to see if you get the shipping cost reduced.  Remember that out system only shows the cheapest shipping option.

International Shipping

Please contact us to discuss your requirements. We ship bulk quantities from the Port of Brisbane, Australia.

For small quantities we can ship by international mail – contact us with your address and quantity for a quote.
