Modern Pets is eligible to remain open and continue to ship orders to our customers from our Melbourne warehouse in line with our shipping policies below.
That said, due to the increased volume of online orders, and state-wide disruptions, you may experience shipping delays as we work closely with our freight partners to provide you with the quickest delivery times possible during these times.
Thank you for your business!
Modern Pets offers free shipping on orders over $29 to most metro cities and major regional centres across Australia (excludes oversized items*). Just use the handy shipping calculator to see if your suburb qualifies for free shipping. If you are not eligible for free shipping, the cost of shipping will be calculated based on the weight of your order. You will be able to see the shipping cost via the shipping calculator before you proceed to payment.
We regret that our warehouse is not accessible to the public. As such, we do not offer a pick-up option. Your order will generally be shipped from our distribution centre, which is located in Melbourne, within 1-2 working days of receiving payment excluding public holidays & weekends.
The majority of our parcels are delivered by Australia Post however occasionally we work with other courier partners to provide the most efficient delivery service with the most reasonable price. Next business day express shipping is available to all areas except Western Australia & Northern Territory. Currently, the Express service is only available for orders weighing 500grams or less such as collars, leads, cat toys etc
In the very unlikely event that your item is lost or damaged during post, then we are responsible and will issue either a full refund or replacement. Tracking details are emailed to customers upon dispatch.
