COVID 19 Updates

ONLINE ORDERS:

Please be patient as we are very overwhelmed with orders at this time. We are experiencing an unprecedented number of online orders so we appreciate should any delays or errors occur in the packing and dispatch of your order you notify us of any errors and whether you'd like a replacement or refund and wait for a response.

We are still roasting and packing weekdays to keep up with the demand! Orders are despatched weekdays via AusPost and will continue as long as they are allowed. There have been processing delays on their end due to overwhelming demand on the system. 

We will be supporting local couriers to despatch some deliveries, so these deliveries should get to you quicker than normal if you are in the marrickville/newtown area. 

Australia Post is experiencing a high demand on the network at this time as to be expected there are extended delays in some areas. Please check your tracking number or follow up with AusPost, as we cannot do anything once it has left.

We ship via Australia Post, Express Post and various couriers depending on your location.

We endeavour to get your beans to you within 3-5 business days.

Our goal is to send out on the same day orders that we receive before 1pm weekdays provided everything is available to pack. Orders received after 1pm are typically sent the next business day.

Delivery can take up to a week in some areas, this will depend on Australia Post or the courier. For Express Post please keep in mind if you order on a thursday evening your order will get dispatched on Friday and you will not receive it until Monday. We can only work within the confines of the delivery network services. 

When will my order be sent?

Open tab

Orders received by 1pm will usually be sent out the same day - provided everything is in stock. Orders placed after 1pm, or over the weekend or public holiday will be sent the next business day.

Please keep in mind at the moment we are experiencing a huge number of orders and AusPost pickup times have been moved earlier in the day so there might be a slight delay. 

If you contact us to make changes to your order or to the address this may delay the time it takes to process your order.

Can I track my order?

Open tab

Provided you have entered a correct e-mail, eParcel will send you an email tracking for your parcel. If we have sent your order via Express Post or courier we can also track it. Please first check your tracking number as this is exactly what we will do and often delays are just due to the volume of post at this time.

Should you not get it after 5 business days please contact Australia Post for a query or check whether your local post office has it waiting to pickup. If you wait longer than 14 days and  the post office has your parcel they might return it to us. 

Any errors in shipping that are due to our error will be resent at our cost. Errors from the customer end will require repeat shipping to be paid as we are charged a return fee on top of the original shipping costs. 

Do you ship internationally?

Open tab

Yes!  Please contact us if you wish to ship internationally and do not see your location listed at the checkout. We will work out the cost for your order and make it available online. For international economy the max weight allowance is 2kg for some regions so additional charges for express shipping will be required if your order is above this weight.

Can I leave special instructions for my delivery?

Open tab

You may enter comments about your delivery and we will endeavour to pass these on to the carrier in charge of delivery. We cannot guarantee that these instructions will be followed, but we will try our best. Most items sent with Australia Post will be delivered in a normal fashion and may need to be picked up at your local post office. If you authorise for the carrier to leave your parcel without a signature please tick Authority to Leave during checkout and we will communicate this. When this option is selected, Coffee Alchemy, Australia Post or the relevant courier cannot be held liable for stolen or missing parcels.
