Understanding the Factors Behind Shipping Delays
1. Milton & King Closing Times: Our office does close during the holiday season, so please expect delays of up to 5 days. To get your wallpaper by Christmas, please place your order before the 11th of December.
2. AUS Post Holiday Schedule: AUS Post is closed and does not deliver on the national public holidays of Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, and Australia Day.
3. Increased Volume: The holiday season significantly surges online shopping and package sending. With more people turning to e-commerce for their gifts, shipping companies may become overwhelmed with orders, resulting in longer shipping times.
Tips to Mitigate Shipping Delays
1. Shop Early: One of the most effective ways to ensure your gifts arrive on time is to shop well in advance. Aim to place your orders as soon as possible to avoid the last-minute rush.
2. Stay Updated: Regularly check the tracking status of your packages to stay informed about any potential delays. Many retailers and shipping companies offer updates and alerts to help you anticipate changes.
3. Purchase A Gift Card: If you waited until the very last minute but wallpaper is still your gift of choice, you’re in luck! Gift cards are here! Not only are they instantly made available to the recipient, but it also takes the hassle out of choosing the design, in the right colour and ordering the correct number of rolls.
Hopefully, you now have all the information you need to make sure your gift-giving plans are well-handled. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season!
