Shipping & Delivery Policy

Effective Date: September 9, 2026

Last Updated: September 9, 2026

At Geek Bar Australia (https://geekbarofficial.au), we are committed to providing fast, reliable, and secure shipping across all Australian states and territories. Because our products are age-restricted consumer electronics, all orders are handled with strict adherence to Australian regulations regarding adult signature and age verification on delivery.

1. Age Verification Requirements (18+ / 21+)

Under Australian Commonwealth and state laws, vape products and nicotine accessories may only be sold and delivered to legal adults.

Online Verification & Delivery Check

Checkout Verification: All customers must pass an online age verification check prior to order processing.
Signature & ID on Delivery: Every package is dispatched via Australia Post (or certified courier) requiring Adult Signature Required on Delivery.
Valid Photo ID Required: The recipient must present a valid government-issued photo ID (Driver’s License, Passport, or Proof of Age Card) matching the name on the shipment upon delivery.
No Safe Drop: Packages cannot be left unattended in a “Safe Drop” location, mailbox, or front porch under any circumstances. If no authorized adult is available, the package will be transferred to the nearest local Australia Post outlet for collection with ID.

We process orders quickly to ensure prompt delivery across Australia:

4. Order Tracking & Notifications

Every order shipped from Geek Bar Australia includes full step-by-step tracking.

Tracking Email: Once your package is fulfilled, you will automatically receive a shipping confirmation email containing your Australia Post Tracking Number.
Live Updates: You can track your package directly on the Australia Post Tracking Portal or via the link provided in your order email.
Delivery Alerts: SMS and email updates will notify you on the day of delivery so an adult can be available to sign.

5. Address Accuracy & Unclaimed Packages

Correct Address: Please ensure your shipping address (including unit/apartment numbers) is complete and accurate. We are not responsible for delays or losses caused by incorrectly entered details.
Unclaimed Packages: If a package is returned to us because the customer failed to present a valid ID, was unavailable to sign, or provided an incorrect address, a $15 AUD return-to-sender fee plus original shipping fees will be deducted from any store credit or refund issued.

6. Damaged or Lost Shipments

In-Transit Damage: If your parcel arrives visibly damaged, please take photographs before opening and contact us within 48 hours at sales@geekbarofficial.au.
Lost Parcels: A parcel is officially classified as “lost” if there are no tracking updates for 10 consecutive business days. Contact our support team, and we will open an official investigation with Australia Post on your behalf to issue a replacement or refund.
