Welcome to Fleximake online Store (FMESTORE). We are committed to providing reliable, transparent, and efficient shipping services across Australia and internationally.

By placing an order with us, you agree to the terms outlined in this Shipping & Delivery Policy.

1. Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the total weight, dimensions, and delivery location of your order.

All costs shown at checkout are final unless additional freight charges apply for remote or bulky deliveries (see Regional & Remote Areas below).

2. Australia-Wide Shipping

We offer delivery Australia-wide using trusted freight and courier providers, including Australia Post and selected transport partners.

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking details.

3. Order Processing Times

Orders are generally processed within 1–3 business days after payment confirmation.

• Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.
• Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next business day.
• Orders placed before 1:00 PM (AEST/AEDT) may begin processing the same business day.

Processing times may vary during peak periods, promotional events, public holidays, or due to stock availability.

Some products may be manufactured, packed, or dispatched from different warehouses or supplier locations across Australia.

4. Estimated Delivery Timeframes (Australia)

Important: The estimated delivery timeframes shown below begin after your order has been dispatched, and do not include the 1–3 business day processing period.

Example total delivery time: An order to Perth placed on Monday could take 1–3 business days to process, plus 5–10 business days in transit — up to 13 business days total.

All delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

Delays may occur due to:

• Freight network congestion
• Weather conditions
• Public holidays
• Remote delivery locations
• Carrier or transport delays outside our control

5. Regional & Remote Areas

Certain regional, rural, or remote locations may incur additional freight charges due to limited courier access or specialised delivery requirements.

If additional shipping charges apply to your address, our team will contact you for approval before dispatch.

We reserve the right to cancel and refund orders where freight services are unavailable or excessively costly to provide.

6. International Shipping

We offer international shipping worldwide via Australia Post’s international network for eligible products only.

Please note:

• International shipping is available for products weighing up to 20kg.
• For orders exceeding 20kg, please contact us to discuss available freight options and obtain a customised shipping quote.
• Oversized or bulky items may require specialised transport services and may not be available for standard international shipping.
• We reserve the right to decline international shipping for certain products, destinations, or carrier restrictions.

International delivery times vary depending on the destination country, customs processing, and local postal services.

Customers are responsible for:

• Any customs duties, import taxes, local charges, or clearance fees; and
• Ensuring products comply with local import regulations.

Tracking details will be provided once your order has been dispatched.

7. Shipping Carriers

Orders are shipped using Australia Post and other trusted courier or freight providers selected based on:

• Parcel dimensions
• Weight
• Delivery location
• Handling requirements

We reserve the right to select the most appropriate shipping carrier for your order.

Some orders may arrive in multiple shipments or parcels.

8. Multiple Parcels & Split Shipments

Large, bulky, or multi-item orders may be packed into multiple parcels and shipped separately.

These parcels may arrive on different days. Please allow an additional 2–3 business days for remaining parcels after the first delivery has arrived.

Separate tracking numbers may be provided where applicable.

9. PO Boxes & Parcel Lockers

Delivery to PO Boxes or Parcel Lockers is available only for parcels that fit within Australia Post's applicable size and weight limits. Oversized or bulky items will require a physical street address for delivery.

Large or oversized items may require a physical street address for delivery.

If your order cannot be delivered to a PO Box or Parcel Locker, we will contact you before dispatch.

10. Delivery Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for ensuring all shipping information is correct at checkout, including:

• Business name (if applicable)
• Contact phone number

Additional shipping, redelivery, storage, or return charges may apply where:

We are not responsible for delays or losses caused by incorrect customer information.

We do not automatically leave parcels unattended.

A parcel will only be left without a signature if:

1. You contact us before dispatch to request Authority to Leave; OR
2. Your order is dispatched via Australia Post, and after dispatch you receive a notification with a link to manage your delivery, and you select “Authority to Leave”.

Important:

• If neither of the above occurs, the courier will not leave your parcel unattended.
• Carrier delivery management links are typically available for Australia Post parcels only.
• Once the carrier marks the parcel as delivered, responsibility transfers to you.
• We recommend ATL only for secure locations.

We cannot be held responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged parcels where you have authorised Authority to Leave.

4. Product Variations — Handmade Products

Many Fleximake products are handmade and individually manufactured.

As a result of the manufacturing and fabrication process, minor variations may occur between individual products, including variations in:

• Manufactured dimensions;
• Shape or profile;
• Alignment;
• Weld or seam appearance;
• Fitting positions;
• Mounting or suspension positions; and
• Other minor manufacturing details.

These minor variations are inherent in the handmade manufacturing process and do not, by themselves, constitute a manufacturing defect or grounds for a warranty claim.

A variation will be assessed in the context of the product's intended function, agreed specifications and applicable consumer guarantees.

5. Purchases Through Resellers and Third Parties

This Fleximake manufacturer's warranty applies to eligible Fleximake-branded products purchased directly from Fleximake or through an authorised Fleximake Reseller.

Proof of purchase is required.

Products purchased through an unauthorised third-party seller are not covered under this Fleximake manufacturer's warranty. This does not affect any rights or remedies the purchaser may have against the seller or under applicable consumer law.

For products manufactured by third parties and sold by Fleximake:

• Warranty is generally provided by the original manufacturer;
• Warranty terms, coverage and duration may vary by manufacturer;
• Fleximake will assist with submitting a warranty claim to the manufacturer where reasonably possible; and
• The manufacturer's warranty assessment and remedy will be subject to that manufacturer's applicable warranty terms and the Australian Consumer Law.

If you are unsure whether a product is Fleximake-manufactured or supplied by a third party, please contact us.

6. Labour, Installation and Other Associated Costs

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this manufacturer's warranty applies to the eligible product itself.

If you are not an authorised Fleximake Reseller/Installer, this manufacturer's warranty does not cover costs associated with a product defect or failure, including but not limited to:

• Labour;
• Installation;
• Removal or disassembly;
• Replacement costs;
• Reinstallation;
• Access costs;
• Transportation;
• Equipment hire;
• Site costs;
• Loss of use; or

7. How to Make a Warranty Claim

Step 1: Contact us

Email sales@fleximake.com.au and provide:

• Your order number, invoice or other proof of purchase;
• Clear photos showing the issue;
• Photos of the installation or application, where relevant;
• Photos of packaging if the issue may relate to delivery damage; and
• A brief description of the problem and how the product has been used.

We may request additional photos, videos, measurements, installation information or other information reasonably required to assess the claim.

Step 2: Assessment - We assess your claim

Once sufficient information has been received:

• We typically acknowledge warranty claims within 5 business days; and
• We aim to provide an assessment outcome within 10–15 business days after receiving all information reasonably required to assess the claim.

Some technical claims may require physical inspection or further investigation.

Step 3: Resolution

If your claim is approved, the available remedy may include:

·        Repair;

·        Replacement with the same or an equivalent product; or

·        Partial or full refund, depending on the circumstances and applicable consumer rights.

8. Return of Product for Warranty Claims

Fleximake reserves the right to inspect the product before approving or finalising a warranty claim.

As a condition of a manufacturer's warranty claim resulting in a replacement or refund, the original product must be returned to Fleximake or another nominated location when requested. Failure to return the original product when reasonably requested may result in Fleximake being unable to complete or approve the manufacturer's warranty remedy.

Return requirements and responsibility for freight will be advised as part of the claim process and will be handled in accordance with applicable Australian Consumer Law obligations.

Please do not return a product without prior authorisation from Fleximake.

9. Shipping and Transportation for Warranty Claims

For manufacturer's warranty claims, return freight arrangements will depend on the nature of the claim, the product, the location and the applicable consumer-law requirements.

Where the claim is confirmed to involve a defect for which Fleximake is responsible, Fleximake will meet its obligations regarding reasonable return or transportation costs as required by the Australian Consumer Law.

For claims or returns that are not covered by warranty or consumer guarantees, the customer may be responsible for transportation and return costs.

If a claim is not approved, Fleximake will explain the reason. The customer may arrange to have the product returned at their cost or, with the customer's agreement, Fleximake may dispose of the product.

 

10. Important Warranty Conditions

• Fleximake's voluntary manufacturer's warranty applies to the original purchaser and is non-transferable unless otherwise agreed in writing. This does not affect any rights or remedies that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law.
• Proof of purchase is required for manufacturer's warranty claims.
• Products must be installed, operated, maintained and used according to their intended purpose, specifications and applicable instructions.
• Fleximake may inspect or request the return of a product before approving or finalising a warranty claim.
