Delivery timeframes (guide only)

Delivery estimates vary by destination (metro vs regional/remote) and carrier network conditions. Remote or regional areas may take longer than metro estimates. Severe weather or network disruptions can also cause delays.

International Shipping

We’re not offering international shipping at the moment while we improve our processes and carrier options. We know many of you are waiting, and we’ll bring it back as soon as we can.

Thank you for your patience — updates will be posted here as soon as shipping resumes.

Peak Periods

Fulfilment and delivery times may be longer than normal for orders placed during popular promotions and around seasonal events and public holidays such as Easter and Christmas. Please allow extra time for delivery during these periods..

Dispatch & tracking

We aim to have orders fulfilled within 24–48 business hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. This also includes warehouse closures when 7 business days’ notification is provided.

Orders submitted after 11:00 am on Friday may not be processed until the next business day.

Tracking: As soon as your order ships, you’ll receive an email with your tracking link/number.

• Use the link to view delivery updates or enable notifications.

• If your order ships in multiple parcels, you’ll receive a separate tracking number for each parcel.

• See your orders & tracking in your account: You can log in at https://account.curlytops.com.au/ using the same email you used at checkout to view previous orders and live tracking details.

Authority to Leave (ATL) & delivery attempts

All deliveries are made with Authority to Leave (Safe Drop). If the driver deems the location unsuitable, a card-to-collect will be left and your parcel taken to your local Post Office or collection point. Risk in the goods passes on delivery to your address or upon collection, whichever occurs first.

Signature on delivery isn’t available. We don’t offer a “signature required” option. If the driver considers the location unsuitable for Safe Drop, a card-to-collect will be issued and the parcel taken to your local Post Office or collection point.

Delivery issues & investigations (AusPost)

If your parcel is delayed, missing or shows as delivered but can’t be found, please contact us at hello@curlytops.com.au and also lodge an AusPost enquiry so we have a case to reference:

1. Lodge enquiry: Submit a Missing or Lost Item enquiry with Australia Post (you can do this as the receiver in a couple of minutes). You’ll get a case/reference number. helpandsupport.auspost.com.au
2. Tell us the case ID: Email the case/reference number to our team so we can add notes and escalate with our AusPost business support as needed.
3. We stay responsible to you: We’ll keep you updated and provide the appropriate remedy once AusPost’s investigation is finalised. 

PO Boxes, Parcel Lockers & Collection Points

We deliver to PO Boxes, Parcel Lockers and Australia Post Collection Points. Where available, you can select a collection point at checkout.

Address accuracy & order changes

We process orders quickly and can’t guarantee address changes once an order is placed. Please double-check your shipping details at checkout.

If a parcel is returned due to incorrect/incomplete address, refusal, or non-collection, we’ll contact you to arrange re-delivery (additional postage may apply) or a refund in line with our Refund and return policy.

Damaged, missing or incorrect items (in transit)

If your order arrives damaged or appears missing in transit (not delivered by the carrier), please contact us within 30 days of the delivery estimate and include clear photos and your order details. We’ll assess and resolve in line with our Refund and return policy.

After-delivery loss or theft

Once a parcel is delivered to your address or collected from a pickup location, we’re not responsible for loss, theft or damage occurring after delivery. Consider using a secure delivery address or collection point if you won’t be home.

Sustainability (packaging)

Wherever possible, we use minimal and recyclable packaging to protect your products while reducing waste.

Shipping scams

We will not request any further payments once you’ve completed your order. Beware of communications asking you for shipping payments and do not engage with suspicious emails or SMS.
