Shipping, Handling & Tracking

Hayden Agencies strives to send out all orders the same day they are placed, however this cannot always be achieved. Once goods have been accepted by our third party couriers, Hayden Agencies cannot be held accountable for damage, delays and / or lost parcels as a result of the courier. Hayden Agencies does not give a guaranteed time frame for delivery, and cannot be held accountable for a delivery that is deemed as delayed. Please note that during seasonal periods courier services can experience delays.

 

Please be aware that shipping prices shown at checkout are an estimate, prices are subject to change once your order has been shipped. Hayden Agencies reserves the right to hold your order until any additional freight costs have been paid.  

 

If your delivery is unsuccesful, redelivery or return to sender fees may incur. Any additional fees will require payment, if payment is not received Hayden Agencies reserves the right to place your account on hold until payment is made. *If chosing Direct Freight as your courier method as per their policies any consignments consisting of less than 5 parcels will be automatically left at the premises if unattended and deemed as safe. Hayden Agencies cannot be held responsible for any consignments that have been misplaced or stolen once left unattended and deemed as delivered.*

 

Hayden Agencies cannot be held responsible for any lost or stolen goods once the courier has marked the parcel as delivered if authority has been given to leave your goods unattended. Hayden Agencies cannot be held responsible for goods that have been received with a proof of delivery. Please note Hayden Agencies cannot offer any compensation or replacement until an investigation has been completed with the assigned courier, this process can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks at minimum.

 

If the provided address is deemed as unsafe to leave by the courier then a second redelivery fee will be required, this includes security complexes and apartments, locked gates at residences, unsecured pets, main roads and / or other areas with high traffic etc. Hayden Agencies cannot be held responsible for a courier deeming the provided delivery address as unsafe.

 

Please note the following special delivery requests;

  • Palletised deliveries which require a hand unload upon delivery will be charged a manual hand unload charge. 
  • Often couriers will split deliveries of multiple parcels, satchels or other items that have been sent under one consignment. Hayden Agencies cannot offer any compensation for split deliveries and cannot guarantee parcels to be delivered in full.
  • Specified delivery time frames or days may not be possible. Hayden Agencies cannot be held liable if the third party courier chosen cannot meet a specified delivery timeframe or date. 

 

Hayden Agencies cannot take responsibility of special instructions for delivery.  Third party couriers have their own service options depending on their price and range. 

 

Hayden Agencies do not accept any liability or make any warranty in relation to the goods except as provided herein or as required by law. Under no circumstances shall our liability exceed the purchase price of the goods. Hayden Agencies will not be liable for any loss or damage which is consequential, indirect or due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

 

Fragile items can often be damaged during transit. Even though we strive to label parcels with fragile tape and sufficient protective packaging, our third party couriers can still be very rough. We cannot be responsible for damages that occur to parcels during transit. We may provide a credit given the circumstance but we cannot guarantee a credit for every instance. Where claims are being made for damaged goods, original packaging must be provided. If packaging is not able to be provided Hayden Agencies reserves the right to refuse your claim.

When ordering large decorative structures such as but not limited to backdrops, plinths and frames please ensure you will be home at the time of delivery, otherwise ensure you grant authority to leave if unattended. Multiple failed delivery attempts drastically increases the likelihood of damage due to increased handling of the goods. 

 

If selecting store pickup as your courier method you must wait until you receive email confirmation that the order is ready for collection prior to arriving at our warehouse. We cannot give a guaranteed time frame of click and collect turnaround, we aim to have orders ready for collection within 24 to 48 hours however this is subject to change depending on our daily operations. 

 

It is the customers responsibility to provide their accurate address when placing an order. If an invalid / incorrect address is provided, redelivery or redirected delivery fees will incur. Hayden Agencies will not cover any associated costs due to incorrect details provided. Hayden Agencies reserves the right to place accounts on hold until said fees have been paid. 

 

At this time we are unable to ship large bulky goods such as decorator items to our international customers.
