*Surcharge Chart for Heavy or Bulky Media
Additional shipping charges apply to some items of unusual size or weight. If the surcharge applies to your order, you'll see the charge appear on the drop-down menu of a product page or in the checkout page. If you're unable to see the freight quote after you placed the order, we'll contact you for additional surcharge that quoted by our courier if applicable.
Freight is calculated per order, depending on the destination and items being shipped. Our website provides free shipping for metro areas however outside this we request a quote upon receiving an order. Freight is determined by a complex matrix of what the product is, the destination, and ultimately which carrier we will use to arrange the shipping. Essentially freight costs are driven by the cubic size and or weight, the destination, and the level of service demanded either by the customer or by the product itself (in the case of large, fragile, and heavy weighted items).
If the item cannot be delivered to the address or our courier provided a freight quote, but you still place the order with us, we will contact you through email with the extra shipping fee after the order is paid. You will need to pay the extra fee to get the order delivered. Those orders with no shipment service or decline to pay for the extra shipping, will be canceled and refunded automatically with email notification.

As retailers, most transactions with us may not be covered by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). For these transactions, all goods are warranted to the level provided by Waterworks Australia, for the relevant period commencing from the date of original sale to the dealer. Under these circumstances, any product returns (for warranty purposes or otherwise) will be made at the our expense and only with the prior knowledge and authorization of Waterworks Australia.
Under the ACL, consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. They are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
The guarantees, rights, and remedies provided under the ACL are not always clearly defined. The ACL recognizes that both the remedy and the relevant time period for which a remedy may be available can vary significantly, depending on factors such as industry standards, the nature of the product, its price, and the “reasonable expectations”. Waterworks Australia adopts the same approach.
Should you have any questions about any of these terms of trade, including the warranty and or guarantees we are able to offer, you are encouraged to contact us at your earliest convenience.
