Retailers that offer free shipping
Below is a table that shows the featured retailers on Finder that have free Australian shipping and any considerations with this.
What is free shipping?
Free shipping or free delivery means you won't be charged any fees for post your items to your doorstep.
Many online stores now offer free shipping though most will only offer it once you reach a minimum spend amount.
How does it work?
Below are the most commonly found free shipping offers on the internet.
Free shipping on all orders
These stores offer free shipping on all orders made through them, no matter how much you spend or how many items you buy. Generally speaking, this will be through regular couriers or mail services, with optional express postage services attracting fees.
Retailers like Lee Jeans, Adairs, Sheridan, and Bonds offer free shipping on all orders. However, you may have to sign up to become a loyalty member to access this perk.
Free shipping on orders over a certain value
Many retailers employ a free shipping offer when you spend over a certain amount. For example, THE ICONIC will give you free shipping for purchases of over $75, whereas other retailers may set a higher purchase value of $100.
Free shipping on selected products
Some online stores will give you free shipping on a specific range of items as part of temporary promotions. This is offered as an incentive for increased sales.
Free shipping considerations
- Consider if it's worth spending more to meet the minimum free shipping amount: Stores will often remind you how much left you have to spend to get free shipping. This can mean you'll overspend just to get free shipping. Consider if it's worth it or if you're better off paying for delivery.
- Long delivery periods: At times items will be delivered free from overseas. This can increase the delivery time which may not be ideal for you.
Pros and cons of free shipping
Pros
- You don’t pay extra for your item, so you get a further saving
- Some retailers offer free express shipping, so you’ll get your items for free and quickly
Cons
- Items may be inflated in price because of the free shipping
- Conditional free shipping may encourage you to spend more
FAQ on free shipping
How long does free shipping take?
This depends on where the item is being shipped from and the shipping service used. Items being sent from Australia using Australia Post shouldn’t take more than a week. Items from overseas will likely take longer.
Will I get tracking with my order?
Again this depends on the retailer. Some retailers will offer tracking on their free shipping, whereas others will require you to pay extra for registering your order.
What if I’m not home when my parcel arrives?
Depending on the shipping service they may either leave the package at your door or leave a card. If you receive a card you’ll either have to pick up the package from your nearest post office or organise another time for the courier to bring the package to your home. O
ne way to get around this is by having the package delivered to your work. Alternatively, some retailers allow you to specify that you want the package delivered and left at your doorstep.
Will my order be delivered on public holidays?
Generally speaking no packages are delivered on weekends or public holidays.
