⚠️ Important notes for your planning
Courier delivery times
Hey folks, just a friendly heads-up - November and December are always flat out for courier companies (you know how it goes!). We're seeing extended delivery times across the board, so please factor in some extra wiggle room when planning your orders. Better to be safe than sorry!
Tips for smooth sailing
- Get in Early: Beat the rush by ordering well ahead of the deadlines
- Buffer Time: Add a few extra days to your usual delivery expectations
- Stock Up: Consider ordering a bit extra for those early January jobs
- Communication is Key: Let us know if you've got any urgent needs, and we'll do our best to help
🌟 Planning for 2025
When we return on January 13th, both Melbourne and Adelaide branches will be back to full steam ahead, ready to help you kick off your 2025 projects.
