COVID-19 DELIVERY UPDATE 


In light of current events, we are aware that the COVID-19 situation is causing understandable concerns amongst our families. I wanted to take this opportunity to assure you that your safety is our top priority. Together with all our stakeholders, we are taking all precautions in accordance to the advice of Australian Federal Government and World Health Organisation to keep our team safe and ensure your orders move in a timely manner.

It is important to note that Little Wiwa's team and products are NOT impacted. From a delivery perspective all our couriers have provided formal notices – all operating in the same scenarios.

Please see summary below:

  • All deliveries that require Signature will be done as Authority to Leave (ATL) if the customer is not home. The drivers will still ring the doorbell but will apply a distance of approx. 2m from the front door and not ask for a physical signature.
  • For all deliveries marked as ATL, delivery process will remain the same.
  • In the case the parcel cannot be left in a safe place in either situation, the parcel will be taken to a respective collection point (Depot/ Parcel Connect Agents etc) for the customer to collect.
  • If your parcel is delivered by Couriers Please, they will be taking photographs of all parcels delivered as ATL.
  • International shipments are also being delayed due to bio-tech experts having to ensure no parcels or personnel are carrying the virus.
  • All carriers are currently experiencing significant delays.
     
    These delays are mainly due to:
     
    * Borders Locked Down – Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia’s Borders have been locked down and there are large delays to get through border check points. This has added more time to deliver to these locations.
    * Grounded flights - As there are far less flights interstate and overseas, and borders have been locked down or require stringent checks before crossing, it means freight is now travelling by road where it can.

    * Influx in online ordering – Carriers are currently experiencing an influx of parcels 3x the Christmas period volume.

    * Less scans for tracking – To ensure parcels keep moving, there will be limited scans on items which will result in delayed tracking. Some items may reach their destination before tracking appears.
    * All Services – Currently both standard and express services are experiencing the same delays.
     
    At the moment, we are seeing ETAs in the following timeframes:
     
    Melb Metro - 7-14 business days
    Sydney Metro -  4-10 business days
    NSW -  7-14 business days
    VIC-Regional, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT – 14-28 business days
    International – 14-28 business days
     
    *Some parcels may arrive sooner, however, these will be the exception
     
We ask for all our clients’ patience and understanding in this difficult time on the freight delays and impacts, as these matters are beyond anyone’s control. Having said that, the above processes and delays may change at any given time. We will provide any updates as soon as we receive them and do our very best to maintain our high level of service.
