LED Light Bulbs Australia: Ordering, Shipping Costs, Returns & Warranty Policies

last updated 13 September 2022

The LED Shop Australia® we sell high-quality LED bulbs for cars, trucks, boats and caravans Australia-wide. We guarantee all products for 12 months. Find information below on LED Light Bulbs Australia Ordering, Shipping Costs, Returns & Warranty, as well as Wholesale/Special Order policies.

Do you have a physical store?

The LED Shop Australia® is an online store operating out of Melbourne. We don’t have a physical/pickup location, however, we offer our customers several shipping options.

How do backorders work?

What does backorder mean?

Items marked ‘back order’ are currently out of stock, but have been ordered from our supplier. Depending on when we ordered them, they could be anywhere from 1-4 weeks away.

Can I get the available items straight away, and the rest when it arrives?

We can ship a partial order straight away, but you will need to cover the cost of postage for the second shipment. To choose this option, reply to the order email authorising us to deduct the additional postage.

If we do not hear from you, we will assume you are happy to wait for us to ship your order when the back-ordered items arrive.

Why is there a $10 minimum order size?

As a small, family-run business we are not a big corporation, franchise or chain of stores. We pick, pack and ship all products ourselves, as well as manage all the administration connected to your order. This means small orders cost us far more than we make.

So to cover our efforts we have a minimum order size of $10. If you decide to order less than $10 of products, a surcharge of $10 is automatically added to your order. To remove the minimum order charge, just add a few more items to your cart.

What shipping options, prices and delivery times are available?

Shipping Declaration: By placing an order you declare that you have read and agree to our Shipping policies. Express Post is still the fastest shipping option, however, please note Australia Post have suspended their ‘next business day delivery guarantee’. If you need your product urgently, to avoid disappointment, check Australia Post’s current estimated delivery times for your specific location.

Once your parcel is shipped you will receive an email notification with a Tracking Number. We have never lost a parcel within Australia, but in the event, this happened, we contact Australia Post to investigate.

  • If Australia Post can’t locate your parcel, as long as it doesn’t show on tracking as delivered, we will send a replacement or issue a refund
  • If the parcel tracking shows as delivered (but you didn’t receive it) we are unable to replace or refund these parcels.
