USA Sourced Products
Shipping Methods
Industrial Source uses a range of transport companies including FedEx, UPS, DHL, local couriers and Australia Post for delivery of USA sourced orders within Australia. Bulky freight may be shipped by sea.
We are unable to deliver to PO Boxes, Aus Post Parcel Collect Addresses or Parcel Lockers.
USA sourced orders are delivered under DDP Incoterms. The price quoted or shown on our website is the total price you pay.
Freight is calculated at checkout based on total weight and delivery zone. Orders under 10 kg are held until consolidation is achieved. Standard freight applies once the consolidated weight reaches 10 kg.
Orders over 40 kg or bulky items may trigger a “Freight Quote Required” message at checkout — our team will contact you.
Despatch Times
US-sourced (Grainger) products: Orders are consolidated and shipped once the total weight reaches 10 kg. Standard despatch time: 5–15 business days from order placement.
Australian-stocked items: Orders are usually despatched within 5 business days.
During peak times such as public holidays or Christmas, despatch times may be delayed.
Customers must provide an address where someone is available between 9am to 5pm on weekdays to receive and sign for the parcel. Business addresses are preferred. Collection from a courier depot or post office may be necessary otherwise.
Occasionally, products may be drop shipped directly from our suppliers.
Delivery Times
Delivery timeframes are based on lead times shown on the website. These are estimates and not guaranteed. We work with reliable couriers to ensure timely delivery, but delays may occur due to weather, courier operations, or unforeseen issues.
Insurance
Insurance is automatically included on all purchases. If your shipment is lost in transit, we will offer a replacement at no charge or a full refund.
Any damaged or missing items must be reported within 48 hours of delivery. Claims outside this window are not eligible for insurance coverage.
Oversized Items
Items exceeding 40 kg or 125 cm in length, or marked as irregular or bulky, are considered oversized. These items are not available for online purchase and require a custom shipping quote. Please contact sales@industrialsource.com.au for a quote.
Shipping quotes for commercial quantities and oversized items assume delivery to a commercial address with a forklift onsite. Extra charges may apply for deliveries requiring tailgate trucks or special handling.
Order Cancellation
If your order has not yet been despatched, please contact us at sales@industrialsource.com.au to cancel.
Note: USA sourced and Australian sourced products cannot be combined for shipping.
