Titles listed as ‘Ready to Ship’ means we have a copy available and are ready to ship straight away. Generally 'Ready to Ship' items will be shipped within 2-3 days of the order being processed.
- Titles listed as ‘Available from Publisher’ are not in stock at the totallybooks.com.au storage facility and need to be ordered from the publisher. Publisher delivery of 'Available from Publisher' items can take 7-14 days as standard and up to 21 days at particularly busy periods such as the lead up to Christmas.
- Generally we only list items that are either in stock in our storage facility or in stock with the publisher. Occasionally an item listed will not be in stock either with us or with the publisher in which case we will contact you to discuss the options regarding your order.
- If one of the titles in your order is not 'Ready to Ship' or we are sourcing your order from more than one publisher we will hold on to your order for 7 days from the time the first item arrives in the warehouse in an effort to complete as much of the order as possible in a single delivery. If you require the available items to be sent sooner you can Contact Us to request this.
- Your customer account, accessible via the My Account link, will be updated with details of the expected delivery date of your order once it has been processed. Once your order has been processed you will receive an email prompt to log in and check those details.
For any orders that we encounter difficulty sourcing and fulfilling we will contact you to discuss the suitability of options available to you which will include:
1. The substitution in the order of an alternative product.
2. Continuing with the order until it can be fulfilled regardless of time frame (where possible we will endeavour to do this but if we genuinely believe that the order will not be fulfilled for a considerable time we may advise you of that and suggest an alternative option).
3. The cancellation of part or all of the order.
For all orders, regardless of delivery times, you have a one day ‘cooling-off’ period (24 hours from the receipt of the order) if you consider the delivery times to be too long. The order will be considered firm after that time. For Friday and weekend orders the cooling off period will be until 11am of the following Monday.- A full refund will be paid for orders cancelled during the cooling-off period.
- Delivery Charges
Standard postage costs $6.50 per order for any delivery within Australia.
- For overseas orders with an Australian delivery address the same local delivery charges apply.
- Titles listed as ‘Available from Publisher’ are not in stock at the totallybooks.com.au storage facility and need to be ordered from the publisher. Publisher delivery of 'Available from Publisher' items can take 7-14 days as standard and up to 21 days at particularly busy periods such as the lead up to Christmas.
