Freight & delivery

We supply, deliver and install glass display cabinets and commercial fixtures across Australia. Freight is handled separately from the product cost, with two flexible options to suit how you prefer to pay.

01 — How you pay

Two freight options

Option 1
Direct payment · standard

We book the freight on your behalf, and you pay the freight company directly. No admin fee, no markup — you receive the freight invoice straight from the carrier and settle it before dispatch.

Option 2
On behalf · admin fee applies

Prefer a single invoice? We pay the freight company on your behalf and add the freight cost plus an admin fee to your order. Convenient for trade clients or businesses needing consolidated invoicing.

Both options give you our negotiated trade rates across multiple freight providers — usually better than direct customer bookings.

Forklift loading a crated display cabinet

Forklift unloading — the most cost-effective way to receive a 200kg cabinet.

Flat-packed display cabinet on a tailgate delivery

Flat-packed and crated for safe tailgate delivery Australia-wide.

02 — Indicative cost
$200 – $600 + GST
per cabinet · approx. 200kg dead weight
Delivery location

Metro vs regional, and distance from our Malaga warehouse.

Address type

Commercial is cheaper than residential — residential needs tailgate trucks and hand-unloading.

Forklift access

A forklift onsite for unloading is significantly cheaper than tailgate or hand-unloading.

Quoted before you order

One accurate figure — not an estimate followed by a surprise at dispatch. We work it out from packed cabinet dimensions, dead weight and your exact delivery details, and pack compactly to keep your cubic measurement — and your cost — as low as possible.

Freight rates are set by the transport company and move with fuel prices, which change weekly. For this reason a quote is valid for 7 days — within that window, the price we give you is the price you pay.

03 — How it works

Four simple steps

1
Contact us first

Tell us your delivery postcode, address type, and whether there's forklift access on site.

2
We confirm cost

One accurate quote based on packed dimensions, weight and your delivery details.

3
Choose how to pay

Order online via bank transfer and pay product + freight in one total, or pay for the product now and settle freight separately.

4
Dispatch

Once your order and freight are confirmed paid, your order ships.

Freight insurance

Glass display cabinets are high-value and fragile. We strongly recommend freight insurance on every shipment. It's arranged through the freight company at booking and added to the freight invoice — a small cost relative to the value of the product, and the only practical way to protect your investment in transit.

Why freight insurance is not optional →

Delivery conditions

Standard freight assumes:

·Ground-level commercial delivery access
·Tailgate service where required
·Delivery during normal business hours
·No stairs, crane lifts or restricted access

Residential, restricted sites, upper-floor or after-hours delivery may incur additional charges. Please advise access requirements before booking.

04 — Save money

Tips to reduce your freight cost

Choose a commercial delivery address if you can — even a friend's business address can save $100+.

Arrange forklift access at the delivery end — the single biggest cost reducer for 200kg cabinets.

Combine orders — multiple cabinets shipped together are usually cheaper per unit.

Pick up from our Malaga warehouse if you're in Perth — no freight charges apply.

Pick-up option

In Perth or arranging your own transport? Pick up from our Malaga warehouse — Mon–Fri 9.30am–4pm, Sat 10am–2pm AWST. No freight charges apply.

Combined orders

Multiple cabinets are packed to the most efficient combined cubic measurement. Combined freight is usually cheaper than separate shipments — the freight company quotes both where useful.

International orders

Available for selected products and destinations, quoted separately by the freight provider. Duties, taxes and import fees are the recipient's responsibility. Contact us before ordering.

Important notes

·All freight quotes are issued by the freight company.
·PO Box delivery is not available.
·Redelivery fees for missed delivery are the recipient's responsibility.
·If delivery is left unattended, responsibility transfers to the recipient on delivery.
·Loss or damage claims are managed through the freight insurance process.
·Orders under $500 are not shipped interstate — pick-up or local Perth delivery only.
·We no longer transport loose cartons interstate — eastern-states freight must be palletised.

Not sure? Ask before you order.

We'll walk you through both options for your location and recommend the right freight provider — one accurate quote, no surprises at dispatch.
