Shipping Information – Everything You Need to Know
At The Dental Market we aim to get your order to you as quickly and safely as possible. Below is everything you need to know about our shipping process, delivery timeframes, and what to expect after placing an order.
Domestic Shipping Across Australia
We currently ship Australia-wide using Australia Post’s national delivery network. This allows us to provide reliable tracking and delivery to metropolitan, regional, and many remote areas across the country.
Delivery Time Estimates
The delivery estimates displayed during checkout are provided by Australia Post and should be treated as an indication only. Once your parcel has been dispatched, delivery timeframes are entirely dependent on Australia Post’s network and service levels.
While we dispatch orders promptly, we cannot guarantee Australia Post’s delivery times.
Order Processing Times
Before your parcel is shipped, our team carefully prepares, packs, and dispatches your order.
Our typical processing times before your order is shipped are:
- Regular Post: 1–3 business days
- Express Post: Usually within 1 business day
Please note that processing times may be slightly longer during periods of high order volumes, particularly:
- Before weekends
- Long weekends
- Public holidays
- Promotional sales or busy periods
Orders placed during these times may be dispatched towards the longer end of the estimated processing timeframe.
Business Shutdown Periods
Throughout the year, we may temporarily close for events such as:
- Annual stocktake
- Christmas and New Year holidays
Whenever these planned shutdowns occur, we will publish the dates on our website in advance so customers are aware before placing an order.
During these periods, our warehouse is closed and orders cannot be packed or dispatched until we reopen. This may result in additional delivery delays, and we appreciate your patience during these times.
Safe Delivery of Your Order
Our goal is to have your parcel delivered safely to your nominated shipping address.
Where appropriate—or if specifically requested—we can arrange for your parcel to be sent with Signature on Delivery.
If nobody is available to sign for the parcel, Australia Post will typically redirect it to your nearest Post Office for collection. You will receive notification from Australia Post advising where and when your parcel can be collected.
Please Provide a Valid Australian Mobile Number
To ensure you receive important delivery notifications and tracking updates, we strongly recommend providing a valid Australian mobile phone number when placing your order.
Australia Post may use this number to send delivery updates, collection notifications, or other important information relating to your shipment.
Double Check Your Shipping Address
Please ensure your shipping address is entered accurately before completing your order.
If an incorrect or incomplete address is provided, Australia Post may be unable to deliver your parcel. In these situations, the parcel is generally returned to The Dental Market, which can result in additional delays and may require redelivery arrangements.
Taking a moment to verify your address before checkout helps ensure your order reaches you as quickly as possible.
