Our warehouse is Sydney based - therefore all packages are dispatched from Sydney. Usually Australia Post aim to deliver items in 1-3 business days for Metro Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Please keep your eye on Australia Post websites for further information.
You will receive a tracking number from Australia Post as soon as your package leaves our warehouse. Please note that we do not track every item when it leaves the warehouse, so we rely on the customer to let us know if it is has not arrived!
How long will it take for my order to be dispatched?
All orders are usually processed and dispatched the same day if ordered before 2pm AEST otherwise they will be dispatched the next working day. Please be aware that during busy periods and restocks it may be up 3 working days to dispatch. We ask you to be patient during these times, rest assured we are working as quickly as we can to get your order to your door.

Please note after the package has left our warehouse we have no control over how long it will take to arrive. If you feel like it has been too long or there is no tracking information available please contact us. We will raise an investigation with Australia Post to try and track this down.
Due to the volumes of packages Australia Post are handling at the moment sometimes on rare occasions unfortunately packages do get lost. Please rest assured on this occasion we will either refund or replace the package.
What happens if my item(s) are damaged in the mail?
If the products within your package is damaged please contact us at hello@homebirdaustralia.com and we will arrange a replacement or a refund to be sent out to you.

How often do you receive new stock?
We try to restock products every 6-8 weeks. Please bear with us if we are out of stock of your favourite products - we ship from the UK so it is sometimes challenging to get hold of stock, and waiting times for ships can mean we are out of stock for longer than we would like!
When will I receive my preordered item?
Items are available for preorder before we receive stock from our suppliers. We will prioritise shipping your order as soon as this stock arrives. If you are adding other items to your order that are currently in stock, please note these will not ship until the preorder items arrive. You will need to place a seperate order if you'd like those shipped straight away. Please check the product description to see the expected arrival date for approximate preorder items. Allow 3-4 business days from this date for our team to process and pack your order. To find out more about our preorders please read here.
