Incorrect Address
If a customer gets their parcel sent via Australia Post to the wrong address the good news is they can now redirect this themselves rather than wait for it to be returned to us
This can be done by going to the website address below or by searching "auspost redirect and reschedule" in Google.
https://auspost.com.au/receiving/manage-deliveries-in-transit
There will be likely a small cost for changing the address but this will smaller than if it returned to us and then re-sent out which is $10 (Charged to us by Australia Post) + the standard freight charge ($9.99 per case NSW/ACT or $14.99 for all other states)
Other Delivery Information / FAQs
- Address cannot be changed by us once the parcel has been dispatched from our warehouse. It is the customers responsibility to provide the correct details and we cannot be held liable for shipping to the address we were supplied on the order. See Incorrect Address above for how a customer can change the address once sent out.
- By default Australia Post requires a signature on delivery, unless we are provided with alternative instructions to have the parcel left at the premises unattended. E.g. at the front door.
- If a parcel requires redelivery due to an incorrect address or failure to pick it up from the Post Office a redelivery charge ($9.99 or $14.99 or multiples of this depending on order side) + a $10 processing charge will apply. It can also be picked up for free from Beer Cartel (once it has been returned to us).
- A persons address overrides a person’s name that it is being delivered too. E.g. if a parcel is sent to John Smith at 5 Reserve Road but this is the incorrect address and John Smith actually lives at 15 Reserve Road then the person at 5 Reserve Road can effectively sign for it (even though it is not addressed to them). They could also pick it up from the post office if it is awaiting collection.
