While we will keep you informed of any significant delays, estimated lead times do not constitute a guaranteed delivery date and are not grounds for cancellation or refund unless required under Australian Consumer Law.

After this 30-day period, Highgate House is unable to continue storing your items. Prompt collection or delivery arrangements are greatly appreciated to ensure we can continue to provide the best service to all customers.
If you require an extended collection or delivery timeframe, please contact our team as soon as possible. Any alternative arrangements must be discussed with and agreed upon by Highgate House prior to the 30-day period expiring.

If you live locally and would prefer to collect your order, Pick-Up is available as a checkout option.
Collection is available from either our Northgate Warehouse or Albion Store, depending on the location of your stock. Once your order has been placed, our team will contact you to confirm when your order is ready for collection and provide your collection details.
Our warehouse collection hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am–3:00pm. If you are unable to arrange collection within these hours, a delivery service will need to be organised. Additional delivery charges may apply.
Please ensure you arrive with a vehicle that is suitable for transporting your order, particularly for bulky or oversized items. Items may be collected in their original packaging and you will need to ensure your vehicle has sufficient space to accommodate the boxed item.
Customers are also responsible for providing their own assistance to safely lift and load items into their vehicle. Please note that Highgate House team members are unable to assist with lifting, loading, or securing items into customer vehicles.
When collecting your order, customers (or their nominated collection representative) are required to bring their order confirmation for verification. Items should be inspected where reasonably possible at the time of collection, and customers will be required to sign a Proof of Pick-Up Note confirming receipt of their order.
If any damage, defects, or missing items are identified after collection, these must be reported to Highgate House within 24 hours of collection, along with supporting photos where applicable.
Once items have been collected, customers are responsible for ensuring items are handled, transported, and stored appropriately. Highgate House is unable to accept responsibility for damage caused during customer transport or for issues reported outside the required notification timeframe.
