Shipping
Please note that some products will be shipped directly from our partners and therefore you may receive your order in multiple packages.
Christmas Shipping Update
Due to Peak season and an influx in orders over Christmas, carriers have advised customers to allow up to 14 business days for delivery.
Tracking will also be delayed in this period as scans will be missed to ensure parcels are delivered asap.
If an order exceeds 14 business days from dispatch, please email us at info@homewithkids.com.au and we will lodge an enquiry with the carrier.
How much do you charge for shipping in Australia?
Shipping costs will be calculated at checkout and is dependent on item weight, destination and courier selected. Free shipping is available Australia Wide for all orders over $150.00 (excluding bulky items - see below).
Bulky Items
Some of our products are marked as BULKY. Additional charges may be applicable for bulky items and these will be calculated at checkout.
Please note: Bulky items require a physical address for delivery, as we are unable to ship to a PO Box.
Bulky items are not eligible for any free shipping promotions.
Do you offer pick-up?
We offer free pick up on most items. At checkout, please select the pick up option. Orders will usually be available for pick up within 24 business hours at Menai Newsagency Parcelpoint (Shop 38, 152-194 Allison Crescent, Menai NSW). If you do not see the pick up option, this means that this item is shipped directly from our partner.
If you require the order to be picked up sooner than 24 hours, please send us an email and we will do our best to get it ready for you sooner.

COVID-19 UPDATE
From a delivery perspective all our couriers have provided formal notices – all operating in the same scenarios.
Please see summary below:
- All deliveries that require Signature will be done as Authority to Leave (ATL) if the customer is not home.
- The drivers will still ring the doorbell but will apply a distance of approx. 2m from the front door and not ask for a physical signature.
- For all deliveries marked as ATL, delivery process will remain the same. In the case the parcel cannot be left in a safe place in either situation, the parcel will be taken to a respective collection point (Depot/ Parcel Connect Agents etc) for the customer to collect.
We ask for all our clients’ patience and understanding in this difficult time on the freight delays and impacts, as these matters are beyond anyone’s control. Having said that, the above processes and delays may change at any given time. We will provide any updates as soon as we receive them and do our very best to maintain our high level of service.
