Only received part of your order?

We ship from multiple warehouses. You'll receive separate tracking emails and shipping times might be different.

All online orders will be dispatched with ‘Authority to Leave’ at the time of purchase. 

By ticking the box or selecting 'yes' at the checkout page on the website, you've selected to have our nominated courier leave your parcel at your unattended premises in accordance with your instructions.

You agree that the parcel is deemed 'delivered' when left at your premises.

Although the courier will use their discretion, if they do not think it is safe to leave your parcel unattended, they will take your parcel to your local post office and will leave a card to call.  

If you have enquiries relating to the whereabouts of your parcel, we advise that you contact Star Track directly on - 13 23 45.

Please note that Platypus Shoes will not be held liable for any stock loss, due to theft or negligence if an authority to leave is selected at the time of checkout, and proof of delivery has been provided from our courier.

You do not need to be home to accept your parcel as our orders are dispatched with Authority to Leave (ATL)*. 

If you are not at home when delivery is attempted, the courier driver will leave your parcel in a safe place.

If they deem it unsafe to leave your parcel unattended, they'll leave a collection card and you can collect your parcel from your local post office.  

*If you would prefer that your order is not dispatched with Authority to Leave, uncheck the option before placing your order. 

We deliver to addresses across mainland Australia & Tasmania. 

For more information on remote island deliveries see here. 

If you are based in New Zealand, please view our New Zealand website here. 

We deliver throughout the standard StarTrack courier network. If your mail is usually delivered through domestic channels, you can safely assume that we deliver to your location. 

Unfortunately, if your order has to pass through an international port to reach you, we are unable to facilitate delivery. 

Please note that remote deliveries are subject to local transport schedules and may encounter unexpected delays outside of Platypus Shoe's control.
