What delivery address should I use?
We highly recommend using a business address for all deliveries. However, if you are unable to do so please note that by proceeding with an online order, you are agreeing to an automatic 'authority to leave' if your delivery address is unattended. You can provide additional delivery instructions such as ‘leave on front door step’ or ‘leave at backdoor under carport’.  Please note that our courier is unable to contact you prior to delivery or deliver at a specific time.

How does PACKQUEEN calculate my transport cost and what is Cubic weight?

Your transport cost is based on your location and the weight of the products you order. When you add products to your shopping cart and enter your postcode, our website will automatically calculate your freight/delivery charge. It is important to understand that our couriers charge based on either the deadweight or cubic weight of your products (whichever is greater). For example; 100 x 4 Chocolate Boxes, may only weigh 1.8kgs however, due to their clear lids coming pre-assembled the carton that house these items are quite large. The couriers will take the dimensions of the box that we are sending your order in and calculate the cubed weight as well. In this situation, the cubed weight is 11.4kgs. Therefore, you would be charged postage on 11.4kgs instead of 1.8kgs.

What countries do you ship to outside of Australia?

PACKQUEEN can ship to a number of international desitinations. All international orders will be shipped with DHL or Australia Post Express Courier to ensure that you receive relevant tracking information.

Payment for international orders can be made via Credit Card or Paypal at the checkout. Alternatively, email info@packqueen.com.au to request an quote/invoice.

Shipping costs are calculated automatically up to 100 kilograms at the checkout. If your order is over 100kgs, send us an email to request a shipping quote. Please include your country, postcode and physical address along with what you would like to order and we will prepare a quote.

Sample Service
Do you provide samples?
Yes. As we do not refund or exchange for change of mind purposes we highly recommend ordering a sample before you place your order. Click the following link to find out how to go about requesting a sample: https://www.packqueen.com.au/v/Samples
 
Can I get more than one sample of the same product?
Unfortunately we only offer one sample per product. Samples are provided for quality and size testing.
 
Can I get samples in multiple colours?
To help keep costs down for you, we manufacture our samples in bulk. This means that they are only available in brown or white (made to order products are only available in brown). But don’t worry…. we’ll send you swatches of the colours that you need so you’ll be able to see the exact colour and finish of your preferred option!

Are samples free?
In most cases our samples do incur a charge. The sample charge is generally between $2-$10 (please note there are some exceptions). As we receive hundreds of sample requests each week we do charge for samples and postage. We want to keep our prices as low as possible and I’m sure that you serious buyers don’t want to subsidise other peoples one off freebies!
