Shipping & Returns

Delivery

It is the Buyers obligation to enter the correct delivery address details at the time of ordering. Should the Buyer enter the incorrect delivery address, Calibre Sports Australia will not refund any delivery costs and will not be obliged to re-send the order to the correct address at our expense.


If you are not around to take delivery of your parcel, you will be left a calling card telling you how you can pick up your goods. Unfortunately we cannot deliver on weekends or on a public holiday. In this instance please expect your delivery on the next business day.

Delivery cost will be automatically calculated at "Checkout" based on the delivery destination and item(s) ordered.


Local Delivery

We mainly use Australia Post or Fastway postal services depending on the item(s) ordered. We normally dispatch your order within 2 business days after your payment has cleared (excluding weekends). Once your order has been dispatched, we cannot be responsible for the delivery times after that. If you have not received your order within 10 business days (excluding weekends), please contact us.

If you would like your order to be sent by Express delivery, please contact us. Additional delivery charges will apply.


International Delivery

For items sent outside Australia, please take into consideration any delays which may be associated with your local mail service. This may affect the delivery of your order. We use Australia Post services for international delivery. You should normally receive your order within 1-4 weeks after your payment has cleared. Once your order has been dispatched, we cannot be responsible for the delivery times after that. If you have not received your order within 4 weeks, please contact us.

IMPORTANT:
You may be subject to Import Duty and Taxes. The Buyer pays any additional costs such as duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees. For further information, contact your relevant government authority in your country before you order. If the buyer fails to pay the duty or tax and the parcel is returned to us, we can only issue a refund after deducting our costs (packaging, original postage, return postage, and damage deductions). If the parcel is lost, no refund will be provided.

All international orders include free transit insurance for damages or loss up to AUD $100 (typically, racquets up to $100, others up to $50). You can choose to increase the coverage at a cost of $3 per additional $100 insured value. Feel free to contact us for more details.

A restocking fee of 20% may apply.

If you return goods for any reason, please keep appropriate proof of dispatch. Otherwise, if the returned item goes missing in transit to us, we will deem you not to have returned the item. It is your responsibility to ensure returned goods are adequately packaged to avoid damage in transit.
