Shipping & Deliveries
Due to their fragile and large nature, oversized items may be delivered to a depot by default. For some Major-City Metro and nearby Regional areas, home delivery is the default shipping option.
At the time of purchase, the shipping will be labelled with either a home delivery (sometimes called site delivery or tailgate delivery), or a depot pickup. If an order is not labelled with the type of shipping, we will contact you via email to notify you of the shipping type prior to dispatch.
All orders require a "shipping address" at time of purchase, including orders that will be sent to the nearest depot. The "shipping address" is required to designate the depot, and for security, identification and verification purposes.
Once an order is dispatched for a delivery to a depot, an email confirmation is sent with all pickup details and a tracking link or tracking number.
An order is required to be picked up from the depot once it arrives. The depot may hold an order for a maximum of 6 days (including the day of arrival). Expenses will incur if the order is not collected within the 6 days. These expenses are payable to the depot prior to pickup.
The customer is responsible for any loss or damage that may occur whilst the products are in storage after 6 days if the products are not collected on time. Refusal to pick up the order from the depot will be classified as a change of mind and ATS is unable to cancel the order. Uncollected goods will be deemed as a cancelled order and be returned to ATS and no refund will be given.
It is not possible for shipping details to change once the order has been placed.
Items that are classified as oversized items include baths, vanities and some other large items.
For tailgate deliveries, they may be delivered to a residential or commercial premises. All tailgate deliveries to commercial premises require someone to be on site to receive the delivery during business hours, or a fee will apply before a re-delivery may be issued. For tailgate home deliveries, the goods will be left "in a safe spot", at the discretion of the driver. All tailgate home deliveries made by our couriers are "kerbside drop offs" unless otherwise specified by the driver. Once delivered the products are at the customers risk and are responsible for any loss or damage.
Please make sure when placing an order you use your current email address as order information will be emailed to you.
In some cases, delivery is differentiated by the terms "Metro" and "Non-Metro". These definitions are set by our carriers and may be subject to change. Generally, Metro areas include the following greater city areas: Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Adelaide. All other regions are generally considered Non-Metro for the purposes of calculating shipping. Some exclusions and conditions apply, based on the type of product being shipped as well as the type of delivery.
Delivery costs are based on the type of item and the delivery location. Please note that a delivery address needs to be a residential or commercial premises. Our couriers cannot deliver to PO boxes.
A selected range of tapware, bathroom accessories, showers, wastes, and other items as marked. Exceptions apply for items that fall into one of the other two categories.
There is a minimum total order value for Australia-wide free delivery. This is indicated in the shipping calculator and at checkout.
All fragile or heavy items, such as most tiles, vanities, toilets, mirrors, basins, cabinetry, etc. Items in this category do not include "oversize items" with an individual length over 120cm. Some fragile items will be included in the selection for "FREE Delivery Australia Wide".
Flat rate shipping to metro areas are included in the shipping calculator on product pages. Regional and non-metro areas may have additional costs.
If the order is a particularly large item, we may nominate to ship it to your nearest depot. You will be contacted if it is shipped to your nearest depot. Particularly large items include palletized freight such as tiles and vanity units.
For regional areas, the shipping costs for fragile or heavy items will vary and we recommend you contact us before purchasing these items.
All large items that have at least one side longer than 120cm, such as shower screens, bath tubs, very large format tiles and large vanities. These items have varying shipping fees and cannot be delivered for free.
Oversized items may be shipped to your nearest depot. If a home delivery is required, oversized items may be delivered using a tailgate delivery where the goods are dropped by your kerbside.
Delivery for oversized items will be charged on a case by case basis and we recommend you contact us before purchasing these items.
For all regional areas, please contact us for a price on shipping.
Some items cannot be delivered unless the order is for a local delivery. This includes items such as tile adhesive, building materials, and some other product ranges.
If an item in your order is undeliverable, we will refund the full amount, and send a notification via email.

- If you live in an apartment block or otherwise difficult access location, please notify us before delivery so we may arrange a suitable delivery method.
- All tiles need to be checked within 24 hours of delivery. Please notify us if there are any damaged tiles within 24 hours, as insurance cannot be claimed otherwise.
- It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm the tiles purchased are correct before installation. Claims for tiles that were delivered incorrectly will not be accepted if tiles have been laid.
