Stock Availability
While every attempt will be made to ensure we hold stock of items on our website – should an item be ordered and paid for which is out of stock we will advise you immediately and provide you with the option of a full refund or a backorder subject to availability. Some items listed on the website indicate on the heading that they are only available as a Special Order. This means that we may not hold the item in stock and will need to place an order with our supplier. Payment or part payment will be required for Special Orders.
Design Inn will make every attempt to contact you if there is a problem with stock availability or if we are unable to dispatch your order immediately or as advised.
Shipping Rates and Details
When you place an order with Design Inn, you can choose to have your purchases packed and shipped by us, or you can pick them up in person from our Launceston store. At the checkout time you will be given the option of delivery methods and can select Free In-Store Pick-Up if you wish to pick up from Design Inn in Launceston.
Design Inn attempts to dispatch or deliver all orders within 2 business days, unless otherwsie indicated on the website.
When you place an order, the system will calculate a postage or shipping cost based upon your shipping address (postcode) and this amount will be included in your final price based upon the shipping options you choose. You will have the option to see postage or delivery charges prior to checkout.
Shipping Agents
Please note that the shipping rates for the items we sell are weight and volume based. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full kilogram and are inclusive of packaging. We do not charge packing and handling fees and the shipping costs are as close as is possible to calcualte for the actual cost. Sometimes when an item is finally packaged and posted there may be some minor variation when we actually post the item - this minor variation will be either a small surplus or a small loss for Design Inn - however in all cases we will honour the quote and neither charge for or refund any postage variation.
We generally use two shipping providers depending on the size, weight and destination.
Australia Post – generally used for Tasmanian and Interstate delivery of items up to 22 Kilos and less than 105cm long/high.
A national courier company – generally used for items over 22 Kilos or bulky items not carried by Australia Post.
A freight company may be used for certain bulky goods unable to be carried by either of the above. We will need to discuss this option with the purchaser prior to shipment and will also provide a quote for this service.
Please note that the Christmas period is a peak mail and delivery time for all postal and courier companies and sufficient delivery time should be allowed. Design Inn will attempt to advise customers of any expected delivery delays.
Anyone at the delivery address who receives the Order will be assumed to be authorised to receive the Order on your behalf.
Design Inn will not accept responsibility for late delivery or non-delivery of your goods due to incomplete or incorrect details provided or the actions of delivery companies.
