Orders are generally processed within 1–3 business days unless otherwise stated.
Processing times may vary during:
- Product launches

- Public holidays
- Supplier delays

- Carrier delays
- Regional locations
- Weather events
- Peak freight periods
Once an order has been dispatched, delivery timeframes are outside of Element Care’s direct control.
Tracking Information
Tracking information will generally be provided once an order has been dispatched where applicable.
Authority to Leave
If Authority to Leave is selected at checkout or arranged with the carrier, Element Care is not responsible for parcels once marked as delivered.
3. Local Delivery
Element Care may offer local delivery within selected Melbourne metropolitan areas.
Local delivery availability, minimum order values and delivery fees may vary depending on location and order size.
Delivery windows provided are estimates only and may change due to traffic, weather or operational requirements.
Customers are responsible for ensuring delivery information is accurate and accessible at the time of delivery.
4. Click & Collect

Orders must not be collected until confirmation has been provided by Element Care.
Collection Requirements
- Proof of order may be required upon collection.

- Authorised third-party collections must be approved in advance.
Element Care reserves the right to refuse collection where order verification cannot be reasonably confirmed.
5. Incorrect Addresses
Customers are responsible for ensuring shipping and delivery details are accurate at the time of purchase.
Element Care is not responsible for delays, losses or additional charges resulting from incorrect address information provided by the customer.
Where parcels are returned due to incorrect information or failed delivery attempts, additional shipping fees may apply for re-dispatch.
6. Damaged or Missing Deliveries
If your order arrives damaged, incomplete or appears lost in transit, please contact Element Care as soon as possible.
We may request:

Element Care will reasonably assist customers with carrier investigations and claims where applicable.
7. Special Order & Oversized Items

Customers will be contacted prior to dispatch where additional freight charges are required.
