Please Note all targets listed on our website are in business days. Weekends & public holidays do not count as shipping days allocated to the target delivery period as the network is not operating. All delivery targets on our website are estimates only and we cannot be held responsible for unforeseen delays. Your target delivery period begins once you receive your shipping confirmation email and your order has been dispatched not from the time/date you place your order.
DHL Express (Details)
DHL Express parcels receive priority dispatch from our warehouse and are cleared through DHL's own customs team at the border. Your parcel will cross the Tasman on DHL's very own plane, which avoids any unforeseen delays when using commercial aircraft like other carriers. This service is fully tracked from A to B, and your parcel is insured if it goes missing or is damaged in transit.
By default, this service is signature required; if you provide a mobile number during checkout, you will be sent an SMS message with a link to update the delivery method for your parcel. You can opt-out of the signature required, redirect the parcel to a pickup location, leave the parcel with a neighbour, or pause the delivery if you are away on holiday.
You can visit the DHL - On-Demand Delivery page at any time and use your tracking number (Waybill Number) to locate your parcel and select your preferred delivery method.
DHL Express has implemented their own company policy around shipping vape products. They require us as the shipper to digitally provide them with a copy of your prescription before we dispatch your parcel. Because of this, you will only be given the option to ship with DHL Express at checkout if you have a prescription uploaded to Caktus Vape. If you don't have a prescription uploaded to Caktus Vape, you will be given a standard and express option with Australia Post only.
Aus Post (Details)
The Express service is a reliable, joint partnership between NZ Post and Australia Post. Express parcels receive priority dispatch from our warehouse and priority lanes through customs and at sorting centres. This service is fully tracked from A to B, and your parcel is insured if it goes missing or is damaged in transit. You will have the choice at checkout to have your parcel delivered with a signature required on delivery.
The Standard service is not an express courier service and can be hit or miss, as there are a lot of moving parts in this network, so unforeseen delays do happen more often than with an express service. You will have the choice at checkout to have your parcel delivered with a signature required on delivery.
Please Note if you opt for no signature required, your package will not be protected in the event it is lost or stolen after it has been scanned as delivered.
Regional / Rural (Details)
For all regional / rural / remote addresses, your parcel will land in your nearest major city (*) first and then your parcel will be ground transported for final delivery. Please allow an extra 1-3 business days for delivery from your nearest major city (*). Any parcels shipped via DHL Express that are regional / rural / remote will be delivered by a 3rd party carrier, in most cases Aus Post as DHL do not cover these areas with their own courier drivers.
