Delivery & Tracking
All our Australia orders are shipped registered via AusPost eParcel. Our standard procedure is to instruct the postman to leave the parcel if no-one is home to recieve it. Please leave a note during checkout if you have a specific place for them to leave the parcel or if it is not safe to do so and you would like a card left to arrange pick up from your local post office. My Parrot Shop does not accept responsibility for parcels that have been stolen from your property. When your order has been sent we will notify you by email and include a tracking number.
Postage Calculator
Our website calculates the weight of the products in your shopping basket and uses your address details to retrieve shipping quotes from Australia Post instantly. You will need to be registered or logged in for this function to work.
Cubic Weight
When it comes to shipping sometimes it’s the size of the parcel that matters more than the weight. For some products, such as the "Get a Grip" we have entered them with their equivalent cubic weight rather than their actual weight.
Maximum Shipping Weight
20kg (44 lbs) is the maximum weight (cubic or actual) Australia Post will ship. If you happen to exceed this limit the postage calculator will conk out and cause problems with your order. Please contact us in these situations.
Alternative Shipping Arrangements
Sometimes it is more convenient, or a certain product forces us to ship an order by courier instead of by Australia Post (For instance when the order needs to be split over two parcels). We will contact you if this is the case.
You are welcome to request alternative shipping arrangements before or after checkout.
