The Truth About FREE Shipping

In our modern retail world, online shopping has become more competitive, and companies are having to up their game and provide better services at lower prices.

Many online stores have started sneaking added costs into the shipping price to look price competitive, while still making a large profit. Free shipping doesn’t mean free shipping anymore. Free shipping is seeing a $0 next to shipping on your invoice, but seeing an extra $10, give or take, on the price of the product you are purchasing. 

So why am I telling you all this? Because at Slimline Warehouse, we have your best interests at heart, and believe that our consumers should be aware of when they might be getting ripped off, and where they can save money when purchasing online.

Slimline Warehouse provides competitive shipping costs, and we continue to reduce our costs wherever we can. We use a variety of shipping companies depending on your order. All our delivery affiliates offer fast, reliable and cost-friendly freight services. For smaller orders, we use Australia Post which helps to reduce our shipping prices even further.

We keep our shipping costs transparent, which is why are have a ‘calculate shipping costs’ button on each product page so you can see the exact cost before checking out for your location. We don’t like discovering ‘extra shipping costs’ half way through the payment process, and neither do you.

Here are some ways that we know will help you get the best shipping deals at Slimline Warehouse:

• Buy in bulk. Our shipping calculator is based on the item's weight, dimensions, and shipping destination. The more you add to your package, the cheaper delivery becomes for each item.
• Set the delivery to a city address where possible. Due to our shipping companies pricing plans, rural addresses incur higher delivery fees.
• If you live in Victoria, you can pick up your order directly from our warehouse to avoid all shipping costs! Our pick-up address is 4 Military Road, Broadmeadows, Melbourne.
• Sign up to receive our email Free Giveaway Promotions. We send out monthly emails packed with awesome promotions including our FREE FREIGHT DAYs. If you’re not already sign up, here’s the link to sign up.

When it comes to online shopping, ‘free shipping’ or ‘free delivery’ usually means that there is a catch.  In most cases, you're paying an inflated price for the item to make up for this "free shipping". Or, you sacrifice fast shipping and reliable handling, for delivery delays and/or damaged goods on arrival.

At Slimline Warehouse, when we say free shipping, there is no catch. Our Free Freight days mean genuine free shipping to anywhere in Australia, without any additional hidden costs. We don’t skimp on product safety and packaging, nor will your delivery take an extra 2 weeks to arrive. We are straight up, free freight, no extra costs, and same quality delivery service.

Our Free Freight offer means that you can purchase anything that day, and it will be delivered to your door without any added costs incurred. Plus, depending on your order, if you order before 2pm that day, we provide same day despatch!
