Australia-wide Shipping Policy
All deliveries within Australia are via Express Post. The exception to this is for products going to a business address within greater Brisbane, which are delivered via CouriersPlease.
Pacific Transcription charges a flat rate of $19.00 per order. For bulk orders please contact us prior to ordering to confirm the shipping cost.
You may also collect your order from our office in Milton, Qld, and reduce your shipping cost to $0. If you select this option, we will contact you to arrange a pick-up time. Pick-up is available between 9:30 am and 5:00 pm on weekdays.
If you need to arrange your own alternative delivery option please contact us prior to placing an order through our shop.
Items are usually dispatched on the day payment is received, provided they are in stock. Pacific will not dispatch products that have not been paid for.
The Express Post delivery network usually guarantees next-day delivery between Pacific’s Brisbane office and most major metropolitan locations in Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia (Adelaide only), and Western Australia (Perth only). Extreme weather conditions and other major events may cause delays in delivery times.
Delivery to other locations within Australia is usually 2-3 days, but for remote areas may take longer. The local courier service guarantees next-day delivery between Pacific’s Brisbane office and most greater Brisbane and southeast Queensland business locations.
