Frequently Asked Questions

Australia Post has experienced record volume, greater than the Cyber Week sales of peak season 2019, without the benefits of the 6+ month planning activity that precedes the period. You may have experienced delays with the Australia Post service. In a recent client engagement call, Australia Post provided the below updates on the current network status:

The factors leading to the delays that our customers are experiencing:

  • Productivity across Australia Post network is down 25%, due to COVID-19 measures and cleanliness programs (social distancing, single person loose trailer unloads, etc). Additional measures would be implemented as of today, the major one would be temperature checks on staff.
  • Parcel volumes have surpassed last year's Cyber sales volumes. This increase was not expected and usually AusPost has 6 months to plan for a peak.
  • Increase in returns due to workplace delivery address not being updated to home.
  • Domestic air freight capacity has been severely restricted and the same trend across all domestic routes

We seek your understanding and tolerance of these delays with the Australia Post service as we all work together through these unique challenges faced by the eCommerce boom that have resulted from the unprecedented market conditions brought on by Covid-19 responses. Our customer service team are experiencing high volumes of enquiries and are working overtime to provide timely responses, however we are experiencing delays in responses from Australia Post. We completely understand your frustration, but we ask that you consider an increased tolerance towards your wine deliveries and enquiries towards our team during this period.

To minimise any problems with reselling returned stock, all stock must be returned within one month of receiving the goods and no refunds are provided on custom mix cases. Oak Road prides itself on providing customers with the highest quality wine, but if you are ordering 5 or more cases at a time we suggest a try before you by method as the return policy does not apply.

Cancellations Due to COVID-19 

We apologise on behalf of Aus Post for a slight delay due to COVID19. Australia Post are taking extra precautions and have changed some of their procedures to ensure customers  get their products in a timely yet safe way. Your order has been flagged by the team at Oak Road Estate as high priority meaning we will monitor the status of your ordered to ensure it is delivered asap.

If you still wish to cancel your order we will need to request with Australia Post for a Return to Sender via their website. Unfortunately when lodging Return to Sender requests there is still a 30% chance the return is unsuccessful and the delivery will still be completed . If you choose to take this action unfortunately a $25.00 cancellation fee per case will apply due to Australia Post charging us for admin and return fees.

Once despatched you will receive a tracking number via email for your order. It can take a few hours, sometimes 24 hours to show any kind of an update on the tracking link.
