Can I change my order once placed?
At Dr Greenthumbs, our operations are incredibly fast-paced. As a result, we can't promise that we'll be able to modify or add items to your order once it's been submitted. However, if you need to make any changes, please respond directly to the order confirmation email you received. We'll do our best to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee it will be possible.
How long does it take for my order to be dispatched?
We strive to dispatch all orders within 2 to 16 hours of receiving them, excluding weekends, public holidays and high-traffic sales periods. Some instances may mean we are unable to dispatch orders for 3 business days, but this is a rare occurrence. If you require immediate dispatch, please contact our team for confirmation that this is possible.
In the event that the courier you have chosen during checkout encounters technical difficulties and is unable to accept the order, we will hold your order until the next business day. Should there be any significant delays on the courier's side, we will promptly communicate this information to you, if necessary.
How long will it take to get my order?
Delivery times vary depending on the destination:
Orders processed to the East Coast of Australia generally arrive within 5-7 business days.
Rural and regional areas within Australia may experience longer delivery times of 14-30 days.
For Western Australia, please note that shipping times from NSW are approximately 14-30 days. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with any delays in this region.
Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 15-40 days.
Upon placing an order, you will receive a confirmation email containing delivery details. Throughout your purchase journey, you will also receive several tracking emails to keep you updated on the progress of your shipment.
Q: But I'm an impatient Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, or Boomer and NEED IT NOOOOOOWWW!
A: Hey, I get it—I'm the most impatient person I know! If timing's tight, feel free to reach out before you purchase, and I'll see if there's a faster option. Otherwise, check for a local store that might have what you need. Sadly, I don’t own a courier company (yet!), so once your parcel is in the hands of the freight gods, it’s out of mine. Delivery times are subject to their whims, as per this shipping policy. Hang ten and stay chill—Cowabunga!
I have an issue with my delivery.
In the event of courier errors, mis-deliveries, or damages, we follow a standard process with each courier to gather relevant details and obtain proof of the errors. This process typically takes anywhere from 2 business days to 2 business weeks, although we strive to expedite it as much as possible.
Once we receive confirmed information regarding the delivery status (e.g., lost, damaged, or irrecoverable), we promptly take action to provide the best outcome for you. This may include offering a refund of the product price only or replacing the product. Please read our Australia Post terms & conditions below.
Our aim is to resolve any delivery issues promptly and efficiently to ensure your satisfaction.
Express Post
It is important to note that Australia Post no longer provides a guarantee for 1-2 (Express) day deliveries, despite the continued availability of this service. Regrettably, we are unable to provide assistance in the event of any grievances arising from this situation.
However, we do offer an alternative solution through our PRIORITY services, which are available upon request. For further information or to arrange this option, please feel free to contact us at scott@drgreenthumbs.com.au.

Consequently, we do not offer reshipment for international orders affected by these circumstances.
We kindly request that customers familiarize themselves with the import regulations and restrictions of their country before placing an order.

At Dr Greenthumbs (DRGT Pty Ltd), we prioritize transparency and fairness in our shipping practices. We want to assure our customers that we do not profit from customer freight charges. The prices you pay for shipping are the same rates that we are offered by the couriers.
We believe in providing an equitable shipping experience, ensuring that you are charged the actual cost of shipping without any additional markup or hidden fees.
Can I provide my own freight?
Certainly! To arrange this option, please contact Scott at scott@drgreenthumbs.com.au. He will assist you in setting up the desired arrangement.

Regarding mineral/aeration grading, please understand that it serves as a guide only.

If you require current photos of grading, please contact us.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that they can receive the delivery of their order. Orders rejected by PO boxes or customer work sites will not be resent free of charge. The customer will be liable for any associated charges.
