Shipping & Returns

We can ship your order to virtually any address in Australia or overseas, although restrictions do apply to some products.

This website calculates shipping charges automatically during the checkout process. For large and commercial quantities please call us as we may be able to offer better rates. We reserve the right to alter the calculated shipping charges for large, heavy or bulky items or for customers located in remote parts of Australia.  See below for more details.

  • Select this option on checkout for collections from either our Belrose (Sydney) online fulfillment centre or our shop in West Gosford.

Urgent Orders

Expedited shipping is available by special arrangement and extra charges may apply. Please call us to check stock levels if your order is needed urgently.

Delivery Time Frames

International customers should expect to receive their order in 7-10 business days after dispatch. Note that some locations may take longer.

Order Tracking

All orders are sent with tracking and you will be emailed a tracking link when your order is dispatched.  Please contact us if your order is not received in a reasonable time frame for us to investigate directly with the freight company.

Large, Bulky or Heavy Items

Deliveries of large, bulky or heavy orders may be subject to additional freight charges. We will contact you prior to dispatching your order if necessary for the payment of any additional fee, or a full refund if you choose not to proceed.

Remote Locations

Deliveries to non-metropolitan locations within Australia may be subject to additional freight charges. We will contact you prior to dispatching your order for the payment of any additional fees if applicable. You may elect to cancel your order and to receive a full refund if you choose not to proceed.

International Orders

The Boat Warehouse welcomes customers from outside Australia. Note that dangerous goods and some bulky items cannot be sent overseas. We will contact you to refund if this affects your order.

Domestic Carriers

The Boat Warehouse uses a number of freight companies including Direct Freight and Australia Post. The company we use for your order depends upon:

  1. Your delivery address
  2. The physical size of your order

Defects

The Customer shall inspect the Goods on delivery and shall within seven (7) days of delivery (time being of the essence) notify The Boat Warehouse of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with the description or quote. The Customer shall afford The Boat Warehouse an opportunity to inspect the Goods within a reasonable time following delivery if the Customer believes the Goods are defective in any way.  If the Customer shall fail to comply with these provisions the Goods shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage.

For defective Goods, which The Boat Warehouse has agreed in writing that the Customer is entitled to reject, The Boat Warehouse's liability is limited to either (at The Boat Warehouse's discretion) replacing the Goods or repairing the Goods except where the Customer has acquired Goods as a consumer within the meaning of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CWlth) or the Fair Trading Acts of the relevant state or territories of Australia, and is therefore also entitled to, at the consumer's discretion either a refund of the purchase price of the Goods, or repair of the Goods, or replacement of the Goods.

The Boat Warehouse shall not be responsible for any labour charges incurred in replacing any defective Goods.  The Boat Warehouse will not be liable for Goods which have not been stored or used in a proper manner.
