Delivery Information
Where is my item being shipped from?
VIita Health Online ships from warehouses in multiple states across Australia including Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.
Please be advised that when ordering multiple items they may come from different warehouses and with different couriers. You will be sent multiple tracking numbers if this is the case.
When will my item be processed and dispatched?
Orders are dispatched each weekday from our warehouses across Australia once full payment has been received.
Your order will generally be dispatched within 1-3 business days of order placement. On rare occasions this might extend a little longer, but the majority are dispatched within 3 business days. Please note that there will be events outside of our control, resulting in delays in dispatch of your order and will not warrant a refund or a discount to be applied to your payment.
Certain 'big-brand' appliances can take longer to dispatch as we often source these directly from the manufacturer. Please allow up to 7 business days for these.
Bulky Goods
The cost of shipping bulky/heavy products depends on the destination postcode. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee door to door delivery for every area for these items. Deliveries to rural areas and towns may require the goods to be collected from the nearest freight depot. (Please contact us for further details if you live in a regional location.) If for any reason you are not able to accept your goods on the day of delivery, a contact card will be left for you to call the nearest freight depot for collection. (Requesting redelivery will incur extra charges.) Delivery usually takes between 1 and 5 days although longer delays can be expected for locations outside major metro areas.
Underliverable Postcodes
We try our best to deliver the SKUs to Australia wide. However, there are still a few postcodes that are undeliverable for some SKUs. An extra shipping fee will be charged for some supplier SKUs if the order can be delivered. Those orders with no shipment service will be cancelled and refunded automatically with email notification.
How long will it take to get to me?
As a general rule.....
The estimated delivery time frames are:
For customers in VIC, approximately 3 - 5 working days;
For customers in NSW, SA, ACT, approximately 4 - 8 working days;
For customers in QLD, NT, WA and TAS, approximately 7 - 10 working days.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is an update on the courier estimated delivery time as below:
For customers in VIC, approximately 8 - 13 working days;
For customers in NSW, SA, ACT, approximately 10 - 15 working days;
For customers in QLD, NT, WA and TAS, approximately 12 - 19 working days.
NOTE:
Delivery time only starts after buyers’ payments have been cleared and the item has been dispatched from our warehouse (usually 1 -2 working days after receipt of cleared payment).
Our delivery partners and ourselves cannot guarantee a delivery on any specific dates or times as this is not something under our control.
Due to ongoing COVID restrictions placed in different states and natural disasters from time to time, delivery time frames can be affected. Your patience in such circumstances would be highly appreciated.
