  3. If no-one can accept delivery when delivery is attempted, you may be liable for a re-delivery fee.

  2. If you live in a remote area, we may not be able to provide a door-to-door service and light aircraft or barge delivery to you may be required (for example Christmas Island or Norfolk Island in Australia). In this case, we need to charge additional delivery costs. Alternatively, we may be able to deliver your order to a local depot and you can collect the goods from there. If you think that you live in an area to which this paragraph may apply, please contact us via email on sales@slh.com.au
