Freight and Product Availability
Note: ALL deliveries by Courier must be signed for and someone MUST be available
at the delivery address at all times during normal business hours to receive
the goods. Shipments may incur a re-delivery fee of $15 and delivery delays, if undeliverable
the first time. This cost would need to be passed on to the customer.
- All shipping costs are estimated and may be adjusted before payment processing,
due to pricing or weight variations. You will be notified by email if this
occurs.
- Any overseas shipments will be sent by Australia Post Air-Mail, and usually
take 1-3 weeks to arrive. These will be subject to a maximum weight of 20kg.
We do not ship any mains power products outside of Australia.
- Part-shipments of orders may occur, but only after confirmation by the customer,
as extra shipping costs may be incurred.
- All shipments will be confirmed by email within 24 hours of despatch.
- Any shipments that go missing, will need to be investigated by both, the
carrier and Bleeding Edge Computers, before a replacement shipment will be
sent.
Shipping Methods
- Orders under 500 grams: For all orders under 500 grams when packaged we
ship using:
-- Australia Post Express 500 gram Satchels: These satchels are quite small
and are only suitable for small items. The satchel has a flat measurement of
22cm wide x 35cm long.
- Orders over 500 grams and less than 3kg: For orders that are over 500 grams
but less than 3kg when packaged we use either:
-- Australia Post Express 3kg Satchels: These satchels measure 31cm wide x
40cm long and are suitable for small to medium sized items.
-- Courier 3kg: This is the best option for bulky but lightweight medium to
large shipments using either satchels or cartons.
- Order over 3kg: For all
orders over 3kg when packaged, we usually ship by road freight courier. There is
no weight or size limits.
- Australia Post Express: By using Express Post we
are able to provide the ability to track and trace shipments in the event that
something goes astray.
Australia Post Express offers next business day deliveries to all areas of
Australia that fall into their Express Post Delivery Network.
- Courier: Most shipments are overnight by air or road freight,
however we are not able to guarantee this, as it is based on your location.
Remote areas,
eg. NT, WA and Far North QLD can take up to 4-5 days and may also incur additional
remote area costs. We are able to provide track and trace for all packages
and provide proof of delivery documents.
- Local Delivery: This is available to customers in the Gosford/Wyong Regions only.
All orders over $50.00 (inc. GST) in value will be delivered for free. All orders under $50.00 (inc. GST)
in value will incur a small $5.00 service charge.

Our Australian shipping costs are currently $9.00 for a 500g
Express Post satchel, $12.50 for a 3kg Express Post satchel and a minimum of

any other courier used (air or road). These rates are current as of 01 July

Stock Availability
Our current business premises has limited storage and this
restricts the amount of stock that we are able to carry, however most of our
wholesalers provide
us with a "Direct Shipment" option where they will ship our orders
directly to our customers. By doing this we are still able to provide a very
fast turn around on orders as well it helps us to keep our overhead costs down.
This saving is then passed onto our customers in the form of highly competitive
pricing.
Turn Around Times
- In Stock: This means that the stock is located on our business
premises and is available for either shipping or local delivery / pick up at
the earliest
available time.
- 1-3 days: This means that we do not currently have stock on our business
premises and baring any unforseen delays in our wholesalers re-stocking, this
is the number of business days it will normally take for your order to be shipped.
- * days: This is the amount of lead time it will take for this item to ship.
- Ordered in as required: This means the item is a "Special Order".
Depending on the item there could be a lead time of between 1 - 60 days. Orders
of these items will require a 20% non-refundable deposit of at the time of
ordering.
