How will my order be shipped?

Orders will be shipped using AusPost eParcel Regular Post or AusPost eParcel Express Post (or TNT Express for larger items). Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information. To ensure your items are delivered safely, we require signature on delivery. 

All items are carefully packed to prevent any damage in transit. We use a combination of cardboard twist mailers, cardboard boxes, foam and bubble wrap to sure all items arrive safely. We do not use envelopes to ship any items we sell (particularly strings and sheet music) as we find orders sent this way are easily damaged and can be easily lost.

What if I am not home for delivery?

If you are not at home at the time of delivery, Australia Post will leave a calling card and the parcel will be taken to your local post office for collection. For orders shipped with TNT, a calling card will be left requesting a call back to organise redelivery.

If you would like your parcel left without a signature, a ‘Safe Drop’ can be requested with AusPost up to an hour before delivery. An email or text message will be sent to you by AusPost to confirm if you would like to use this option. The Sydney String Centre cannot request a Safe Drop on your behalf and will not include any notes on the parcel requesting the order to be left without a signature. If you request to have your package left without signature using ‘Safe Drop’, The Sydney String Centre will not be held responsible for packages that are then lost or stolen.

How quickly will you ship my order?

For items in stock, dispatch will be within 1-2 business days. Orders where items are in stock must be placed before 12pm to be sent same day.

If you have ordered items that are out of stock, your full order will be dispatched once all items are in stock and available to send. If you wish to receive your out of stock items as soon as possible, an additional fee will be charged for the second shipment. We will contact you within 24 hours to let you know the ETA for stock and to determine how you would like your order sent. If your order is urgent we recommend contacting us before placing your order so that we can give you an ETA.

Estimated delivery times (Business days)

Our Free Servicing Policy

Stringed instruments are at their best when serviced regularly. Changes in temperature and humidity and general wear can affect the delicate balance and overall performance of the instruments. We recommend that your instrument be serviced every six months. When an instrument is purchased from The Sydney String Centre, regular servicing is free for the time that you are the owner of the instrument (pending our instrument servicing terms and conditions below) as we like to know that your instrument is performing at its best at all times.

We are happy to service instruments that have not been purchased from us, with service costs starting from $80. (Please note, servicing does not include parts, e.g. strings etc.)
