Frequently Asked Questions

How much does delivery cost?

The delivery fee is dependent on the weight, dimensions, and destination of the parcel.  The delivery fee is calculated and displayed under your order details at checkout.

The weight used to calculate your delivery fee may be different to the listed weight of the products you have ordered. Delivery weight and dimensions include the net weight and dimensions of the product along with its packaging and any packing material, such as boxes or shrink wrapping.

You can also elect to have your parcel delivered for pick up at one of our veterinary partners for no additional charge.

For full information on delivery including pricing, please refer to our Delivery Information page.

 

When will my order arrive?

As long as we have all the items you ordered in stock, your order will be picked and packed the same day and dispatched from our warehouse within 3 working days.

All of our parcels are sent via Toll Priority or Toll IPEC ex Brisbane, QLD so depending on where you are located, most deliveries should arrive within 5-10 working days. We do not ship to PO Boxes and our couriers deliver between 9am and 5pm local time, so we strongly advise that you have your order delivered to a work or home address where someone will be able to sign for your parcel.

You will receive a notification email when your order is received, and a second email when your order ships from our warehouse. Click & Collect customers will also receive a “ready to pick-up” email from their selected veterinary partner.

If any of your items are out of stock, you will be contacted via email by our customer service team.

Why have I received an email from Better Pets? I have not given my permission to the vet practice to hand my email out to any other parties!
