Shipping
Last updated: July 2026
Elite Vitamin Zone aims to pack and dispatch orders as quickly and carefully as possible.
This Shipping Policy explains how we handle order processing, delivery, shipping charges, tracking, delivery delays and damaged parcels.
Nothing in this Shipping Policy excludes, restricts or modifies any rights, guarantees or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.
1. Delivery locations
Elite Vitamin Zone currently ships orders within Australia.
If an order cannot be delivered to the address provided, we will contact you to discuss the available options.
2. Order processing
Orders are processed after payment has been received and confirmed.
We aim to process orders promptly during normal business days. Orders placed on weekends, public holidays or outside normal processing times may be processed on the next business day.
Order processing may be delayed during busy periods, public holidays, stock shortages, supplier delays or where payment or delivery details need to be confirmed.
3. Product availability
All orders are subject to product availability.
If an item is unavailable, discontinued, incorrectly listed or affected by a supplier delay, we will contact you and arrange a suitable solution. This may include:
- waiting for the item to become available
- replacing the item with an alternative product, where agreed
- sending the available items separately, where appropriate
- cancelling the unavailable item and refunding the amount paid for that item
- cancelling and refunding the order if it cannot be supplied.
4. Shipping charges
Shipping charges are calculated and displayed at checkout before you complete your order.
A flat-rate standard shipping charge applies to most eligible deliveries within Australia. The current standard shipping charge will be shown at checkout.
Free standard shipping is available for eligible orders over $180 in most Australian delivery areas.
Where Express Post is available, the applicable Express Post charge will be displayed at checkout. Express Post may be subject to parcel weight, size, delivery-location and service-availability limits.
Shipping charges and eligibility may vary depending on the delivery address, parcel weight, parcel size, order value, delivery method and any applicable product or location exclusions.
If an order exceeds standard weight or size limits, we may contact you before dispatch to confirm any additional delivery options or charges.
5. Delivery providers
Elite Vitamin Zone primarily uses Australia Post for deliveries within Australia.
Orders are generally trackable through the Australia Post website or app once tracking information becomes available.
We may use another delivery provider where appropriate because of the delivery address, parcel size, parcel weight, service availability or other delivery requirements.
6. Delivery timeframes
Delivery timeframes are estimates only and vary according to the delivery method, destination postcode, public holidays, weather events, carrier delays and other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Express Post delivery speed depends on whether the destination is within Australia Post’s Express Post next-business-day delivery network. Express Post may still be available outside that network, but next-business-day delivery may not apply.
Customers can check estimated delivery times using the Australia Post delivery-time calculator. Enter 2541 as the sending postcode and your delivery postcode as the destination.
We will make reasonable efforts to dispatch orders promptly. Once an order has been dispatched, transport is carried out by the delivery provider. Elite Vitamin Zone remains your point of contact for delivery problems and will assist with reasonable enquiries and any remedy required by law.
7. Tracking
Tracking information will generally be provided by email once your order has been dispatched and the tracking details are available.
You can use the tracking number to follow your parcel through the Australia Post website or app.
Tracking information may not appear immediately after dispatch.
If you have not received tracking information or need help locating your parcel, please contact us through the contact details provided on this website.
8. Delivery address
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery details at checkout.
Please check your delivery address carefully before submitting your order.
Elite Vitamin Zone is not responsible for delivery delays, failed deliveries or parcels delivered to an incorrect address where incorrect or incomplete delivery details were provided by the customer.
If you realise your delivery address is incorrect after placing an order, please contact us as soon as possible. We will try to assist, but we may not be able to change the address if the order has already been processed or dispatched.
9. Signature & Authority to leave
A signature may be required for delivery, depending on the delivery service and instructions applied to the parcel.
If no one is available to receive a signature-required parcel, Australia Post may take the parcel to a local Post Office or collection point and provide collection instructions.
Where authority to leave or Safe Drop is available, you may be able to request that the parcel be left in a nominated safe location. You may provide delivery instructions in the comments section during checkout; however, the delivery provider determines whether the parcel can safely be left.
If a parcel is left at your nominated location in accordance with your authority-to-leave request, you should collect it promptly.
Where the delivery provider records the parcel as delivered to the nominated safe location in accordance with your authority-to-leave request, responsibility for loss, theft or damage after delivery may pass to you, except where required by law.
10. Missed deliveries and collection
If no one is available to receive the parcel, the delivery provider may leave a notification, attempt redelivery or take the parcel to a collection point.
You are responsible for following the delivery provider’s instructions and collecting the parcel within the required timeframe.
If a parcel is returned to Elite Vitamin Zone because:
- an incorrect or incomplete address was supplied by the customer
- the parcel was refused
- the parcel was not collected within the required timeframe
A return-to-sender fee reflecting the reasonable cost charged to us may apply.
If you ask us to send the parcel again, additional postage charges may also apply.
These charges will not apply where the parcel was returned because of an error by Elite Vitamin Zone or where applicable law requires otherwise.
11. Damaged parcels
We take care when packing orders for delivery.
If your order arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible through the contact details provided on this website.
Please include:
- your name
- order number
- product name
- a description of the damage
- photos of the damaged product and packaging, where possible.
Please keep the damaged product and packaging until the issue has been assessed.
If the product is damaged in transit or otherwise fails to meet a consumer guarantee, we will provide a remedy in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.
12. Missing or lost parcels
If your parcel appears to be missing or has not arrived within a reasonable time, please contact us.
We may ask you to check the tracking information, delivery address, nearby safe places, household members, neighbours or local Post Office before a delivery investigation is opened.
Where appropriate, we will contact Australia Post or the relevant delivery provider to investigate the delivery status.
If the parcel is confirmed as lost or cannot be delivered within a reasonable time, we will arrange an appropriate solution, which may include a replacement or refund, in accordance with your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
13. Incorrect items
If you receive an incorrect item, please contact us as soon as possible.
Once the issue is confirmed, we will arrange an appropriate solution, such as sending the correct product, arranging return of the incorrect product where required, or providing a refund.
You will not be charged additional postage where the incorrect item was sent due to an error by Elite Vitamin Zone.
14. Split shipments
In some cases, we may send items from the same order in more than one parcel.
This may occur if products are packed separately, shipped from different locations, affected by availability, or require different handling.
If your order is split into multiple parcels, we will provide tracking information where available.
15. Shipping promotions
From time to time, selected products may be marked as freight-free or may qualify for reduced shipping.
Free shipping, reduced shipping and other delivery promotions may be subject to conditions such as:
- minimum order value
- selected products or product exclusions
- delivery location
- parcel weight or size
- standard or Express Post service
- promotion dates
- coupon code requirements.
Shipping eligibility and charges will be shown at checkout.
Shipping promotions may be changed, suspended or withdrawn where reasonable, including where there has been an error, misuse, stock issue or technical issue.
16. Returns
For information about returning a product, reporting a damaged item, requesting a refund or asking about an incorrect order, please refer to our Returns Policy.
