Sheetmetal Australia
Operated by Dulkara Holdings Pty Ltd
ABN: 89 008 092 475
Overview
Sheetmetal Australia manufactures and supplies industrial and commercial products throughout Australia.
We offer Australia-wide delivery and local collection from our premises in Lonsdale, South Australia.
This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how orders are processed, manufactured, dispatched and delivered.
Delivery arrangements may vary depending on the products ordered, their dimensions, weight, availability and manufacturing requirements.
Delivery Locations
Sheetmetal Australia offers delivery to eligible addresses throughout Australia.
Delivery availability depends on the dimensions and weight of the products ordered, the delivery destination and the services offered by our freight providers.
Certain remote locations, restricted-access sites or oversized products may require alternative delivery arrangements.
We do not currently offer international delivery through our online store.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated based on factors including:
- Delivery location.
- Product weight and dimensions.
- Packaging requirements.
- Quantity of products ordered.
- Available freight services.
- Any applicable oversized freight or handling charges.
Where available, shipping costs will be calculated and displayed during checkout before payment is completed.
Sheetmetal Australia may use Interparcel and their associated courier providers to obtain freight quotations and arrange deliveries.
Where a reliable freight quotation cannot be calculated automatically, customers may be asked to request a freight quotation before completing their purchase.
Any additional freight charges requiring customer approval will be communicated before the relevant order or freight arrangement is confirmed.
Order Processing and Manufacturing Times
Sheetmetal Australia supplies both standard products and products manufactured to order.
Processing and dispatch times depend on product availability, manufacturing requirements and current production schedules.
Standard Stocked Products
Products held in stock will generally be prepared for dispatch after payment has been received and the order has been processed.
Made-to-Order Products
Products manufactured to order require additional production time before dispatch.
Manufacturing lead times vary depending on the product, materials, specifications, quantities and current production workload.
Manufacturing lead times are separate from courier transit times.
Custom-Manufactured Products
Custom products may require additional time for reviewing specifications, obtaining materials, preparing tooling or completing manufacturing.
Production will commence in accordance with the agreed order requirements.
Customers will be advised of the estimated manufacturing timeframe before the order is accepted.
Estimated Delivery Times
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Freight Providers
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Oversized, Heavy and Palletised Freight
Some products may exceed standard parcel delivery limits due to their length, weight or dimensions.
These products may require specialist freight services or palletised transport.
Additional arrangements may be required for:
- Long or oversized products.
- Heavy manufactured components.
- Large or bulky orders.
- Palletised goods.
- Deliveries to locations with restricted access.
Where freight cannot be accurately calculated through the online checkout, Sheetmetal Australia may provide a separate freight quotation.
Any special delivery requirements must be communicated before the order is confirmed.

We will make reasonable efforts to update the delivery details before dispatch.
Additional freight charges resulting from incorrect customer-supplied information may be payable by the customer where legally permitted and communicated appropriately.

Potential causes include:
