KontrolFreek Shipping Policy

 COVID-19 SHIPPING UPDATE (Updated 11/20/2020)

We are working quickly to get KontrolFreek gear out the door. To ensure the safety and health of our employees and our community, we are taking necessary precautions in our warehouse to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Due to this, there may be a slight delay in processing your order. You will receive a shipping confirmation as soon as your gear is on the way! 

Please allow 3-8 business days for domestic orders to arrive, and 3-4 weeks for all international orders.

You will find general updates for your country below. If you have any questions, our customer care team is here to chat: [e-mail].

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

Australia

Expanded Delays

Expect delays of up to 25 business days

Delays in Australia continue due to a combination of factors:

• Restrictions in the state of Victoria and city of Melbourne. These can lead to parcels being processed and delivered from an alternate location. 
• Reduction in flights from the USA to Australia. All carriers are working to secure additional uplift to service Australia and New Zealand over the next few weeks.
• Australia Post has also reduced its staffing to maintain social distancing practices, which means that once the parcels make it to Australia, they are slow to be processed and delivered.
• Hygiene requirements have shortened the hours each sortation facility as Australia Post has implemented dedicated shift start times to reduce cross over of workers. 

Melbourne: Expect delays as Melbourne begins to receive some of the Perth volume and begins reopening after stage 3 & 4 restrictions. Please be aware that normal ETAs will not apply.

Perth: Currently experiencing extended delays of 4+ weeks due to closures in other areas increasing volume. Currently, this volume is going to be moved to Melbourne to clear the backlog more quickly. 

Sydney: Expect up to a 25 day delay in processing as a backlog of parcels is cleared in Sydney. 

Victoria: The Victorian Government recently reopened in early October. Expect continued delays as Victoria ramps back up. 

Australia Post has advised that written proof of delivery is suspended, until further notice, for inbound items. Expect delays in delivery.

New Zealand

Significant Delays Continue

Expect delays of up to 15 business days

There are major international delivery delays with parcels arriving in to NZ from overseas due to insufficient airfreight capacity and government restrictions. Items shipped to New Zealand are delayed up to 15 business days. 

Destination Country Scanning Issues

We have been alerted that some destination countries practicing contactless delivery have suspended written proof of delivery, which means that accurate delivery scan data may not be provided. 

This applies to parcels bound for Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, Singapore, and Russia.

SUSPENDED DELIVERY:

Some countries are beginning to suspend delivery services. The US Postal Service will continue to accept and process mail destined for the aforementioned countries. This mail will be held within the USPS network and will be delivered once mail service is restored. However, KontrolFreek recommends customers from the following countries not place orders for the time being until we have been alerted that services are resumed.
