Shipping Policy

Thank you for choosing Bark Buddy. We strive to provide a reliable, efficient, and transparent shipping experience across Australia so your companion can begin their interactive enrichment journey without delay. Please review our shipping policy details below.

1. Shipping Fees

We proudly offer Free Standard Insured Shipping on all eligible puzzle feeders, interactive dog toys, snuffle mats, and enrichment accessories delivered across Australia. There are no hidden handling fees or unexpected surcharges added at checkout.

2. Order Processing Time

  • Each puzzle feeder and rubber chew toy undergoes non-toxic material inspection, slider movement testing, packaging seal verification, and protective cushioning prior to dispatch.
  • Processing Time: 1 - 3 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding Queensland public holidays).
  • Orders placed over weekends or observed national holidays will begin processing on the following business day.

3. Estimated Delivery Time

  • Transit Time: 7 - 14 business days across Australian metropolitan and regional delivery zones via standard carrier networks.
  • Please note that transit times are carrier estimates and may vary slightly depending on your state destination, remote regional postal routes, seasonal freight volume peaks, and courier parcel handling.

4. Sealed Protective Packaging & Order Tracking

To safeguard hygienic pet toys from transit contamination and moisture, all Bark Buddy products are heat-sealed in inner protective wrappers inside reinforced corrugated master cartons. Once your package has been dispatched, a shipment confirmation email containing a carrier tracking number will be sent to the email address provided at checkout. You can use this tracking number to monitor your shipment online.

5. Delays and Exceptions

While we make every effort to ensure timely delivery, unexpected external delays may occasionally occur due to extreme weather disruptions, regional transport hub backlogs, or rail/road freight interruptions. Bark Buddy is not liable for external carrier delays, but our support team will actively assist you in tracking your parcel to resolve any delivery issues.
