Shipping

Shipping charges apply to all orders placed. Our shipping cost is calculated on the weight, volume and delivery post code for every order. To avoid delays and possible second delivery charges, we strongly recommend that you provide an attended business address (such as a work address), where someone you trust will be available to receive and sign for the order during normal business hours. Postage is calculated ex-Adelaide.  If the postage costs appear excessive for your location please contact as we may be able to find a lower cost alternative.

We generally use Australia Post for PO BOX and residential address deliveries. A courier service may be used for deliveries to business addresses.

Delivery Times

Normal delivery times for items in stock are 5-7 working days from payment clearance. These timelines are guidelines only. OzHitch PTY LTD does not take any responsibility for any delays in shipping.

Loss and Damage

Delivery – The customer is responsible for ensuring that either they or their authorised representative inspect the goods on delivery.  If parts are missing or damaged, photograph the item and email the pictures to us with the details using the Contact Us facility.

Additional Fees and Charges

If we incur extra delivery charges as a result of your action or inaction, these may be passed on to you at our discretion. An example of such charges are second delivery charges by couriers as a result of you or someone who can receive the goods not being in attendance at your nominated delivery address when you have specified that the address is attended during normal business hours.
