Shipping policy

“Cardboard Addicts”, “we”, “us” and “our” means Cardboard Addicts (ABN 99 391 237 527), a sole trader business based in Queensland, Australia. By purchasing any item from the Cardboard Addicts website and online store, you agree to this Shipping Policy to the maximum extent permitted by law.


1. Acceptance of Orders

We may limit quantities available for sale or sold, and we reserve the right at any time to reject, correct, cancel or terminate any order for any reason whatsoever. If the price of any product you order was incorrectly displayed on our Website, we will provide you with an opportunity to place an order at the correct price assuming such product is available.

Advertisements on our Website are invitations to you to make offers to purchase products and services on the Website and are not offers to sell. Your properly completed and delivered order information constitutes your offer to purchase the products or services referenced in your order. Your order will be deemed to be accepted only if and when we send an email shipping notice to your email address and or mobile number. That shipping and payment notice email constitutes our acceptance of your order and forms a legally binding contract with Cardboard Addicts., which operates thecardboardaddicts.com.au. The total price of your order will be charged to your credit card when our shipping and payment notice email has been sent to your email address.

Orders that cannot be filled at the same time, i.e., preorder or backorder products, will be treated as separate orders and billed separately. Reservation deposits will be taken for any pre-ordered products, and applied when the products are shipped to the full purchase price, which will be charged to you at time of shipment. If an order cannot be filled because the product is not available for shipment, customer service will notify you and you will be given the option to change, cancel the order or wait for the missing stock to be shipped.

If you wish to cancel an order, you may request a cancellation by emailing us. However, if we are not able to receive and process your cancellation request before we accept and ship your order, your cancellation request may not be effective.

It is a requirement that all orders intended for delivery within Australia be placed from within Australia.

If an order is placed outside of Australia or is placed using a credit card with a billing address outside of Australia then it is considered an overseas transaction.

We retain the right to either approve or deny any overseas transaction at our discretion.

All orders placed undergo an internal order verification process. During this process an order may be approved or denied at our discretion.

2. Dispatch

Orders are dispatched daily from Australian fulfillment locations, typically on the next business day. Weekend orders are usually sent out the following Monday, subject to volume.

Please be aware that promotional sales and new product launches may lead to increased dispatch volumes and potential delays. Allow 2-6 business days for your order to be dispatched. 

Our primary fulfillment center is located in Cairns and observes both state and national public holidays, which may affect dispatch and shipping times.

If your order includes a pre-order item, it will not be shipped until all products are available.
