Shipping & Delivery

Buy online and pick up at our store in Canberra, use "Click and Collect" - it's free. We currently provide $10 flat rate shipping across Australia for all non bulky items. Bulky items are charged based on the volum, weight and destination. You can use the "get a quote" feature in the shopping cart to estimate shipping on these items before making a purchase. Items are shipped via courier service, and due to this we require a residential or business address for delivery. Please note in most cases a signature is required upon delivery. All items will be shipped from our warehouse promptly. We strive to ensure fast delivery of your purchase however please note Straight line holds no responsibility for the period of time it takes for your parcel to reach you once it has left our building. Wherever possible we will update your order with the courier tracking number enabling you to track your purchases to your door. Not all transactions will have this option. If you live outside Australia you will need to contact us for a shipping quote – we look forward to hearing from you.

Refunds and Faulty Items

If you have ordered incorrectly, please refer to our above Change of Mind Policy. Straight line will offer refunds for the following purposes.

• If your item arrives in faulty condition
• Your item becomes unavailable during the ordering process
• The item does not match the sample, photo or description provided
• The item does not function in the job or activity it was designed or advertised to do

If the product is faulty once used see Warranty Terms and Conditions. All refunds and faulty items are at the discretion of the Straight line team. We reserve the right to replace faulty goods in lieu of a refund.

Warranty Terms and Conditions

Be sensible! If you damage the item while in use your goods won’t get replaced. Warranties cover manufacturing faults only.

All new products sold by Straight Line are covered by the manufacturers’ warranty. Please check the applicable manufacturer’s website for information regarding their specific warranty policies.

Straight line reserves the right NOT to offer a repair, refund or exchange when the item fault is as a result of misuse or neglect.

Straight line will assess the faulty item in store to determine a course of action. In most cases a warranty will need to be returned to the manufacturer or their local agent for assessment. It is the manufacturers discretion if the item is under warranty, and if they will repair or replace. For minor faults the manufacturer will decide which action is to take place.

If we need to return an item to the supplier, the turnaround time should not, but may take up to 6-8 weeks. Whilst we strive for a quick outcome Straight line is not responsible for periods exceeding this time. We will keep you informed throughout the process.

Any items returned outside the warranty period will generally incur a charge for repair (if repair is possible).
