Order Tracking

Tracking details are provided once your order has been dispatched via Australia Post or our KIS Freight Management System. Tracking links will be sent to the email address supplied at checkout

Some local courier services (such as Fastrider and Jim’s Couriers) may not provide tracking information

Courier Selection Clause

While customer preferences are taken into account, Cheaper Diesel Spares Australia (CDSA) reserves full discretion to select the most appropriate courier for each shipment. This decision may be based on:

  • Item size, weight, or classification (including restricted or dangerous goods);
  • Delivery location or regional/remote status;
  • Warehouse dispatch origin;
  • Carrier service availability and performance

This approach ensures safe, efficient, and compliant delivery of your order

Partial Deliveries / Multi-Warehouse Shipments

  • Orders may be shipped in multiple parcels where items are dispatched from different warehouses or due to stock availability
  • Separate tracking numbers will be provided for each parcel where the selected shipping method supports tracking
  • There is no additional cost to the customer for split shipments

Delivery timeframes for each parcel may differ depending on the warehouse location and carrier routing

Holiday & Peak Season Delays

During peak trading periods (including but not limited to Christmas, Black Friday, public holidays, and major sales events), both processing and delivery times may be extended due to increased courier volumes and network congestion

We recommend placing orders early during these periods to minimise the risk of delays

Changes & Cancellations

Order changes or cancellations can only be processed if the order has not yet been packed or dispatched

Once an order has been dispatched, CDSA is unable to modify or cancel the shipment. We may, however, be able to assist with return options, subject to our Returns & Refund Policy and the condition of the goods

Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Parcels

Lost Parcels

If you believe your parcel is lost in transit, please contact us promptly. We will lodge an investigation with the carrier. If the carrier confirms that the parcel is lost while in transit, we will assist you in processing a carrier claim and may, at our discretion, provide a replacement or refund.

Damaged Parcels

If your order arrives damaged, you must notify us within 48 hours of delivery and provide clear photographs of:

  • The damaged item(s);
  • The packaging; and
  • The shipping label

We will assess the claim and arrange an appropriate resolution, which may include a replacement, refund, or other remedy

Delayed Parcels

Delivery delays may occur due to factors outside of CDSA’s control, including weather events, peak season congestion, carrier network issues, or customs processing. While we cannot guarantee delivery dates, we will assist in tracking your parcel and following up with the carrier where necessary
