All Heatlie letterboxes have a 5 year manufacturer's guarantee. Locks have a 1 year warranty.

Upon the event of any problems, we require you to contact us with pictures, proof of purchase receipts and a thorough explanation of the problem.

What is not covered?

Products & Installation

This warranty does not cover improper installation done by an installer other than Heatlie Letterboxes. The policy also does not cover general daily wear & tear, misuse or field repairs by the customer/and or user.

No guarantee can be made for the powder coat warranty where certain weather conditions such as extreme heat, rain or seaside air causes part discolouration, damage caused by use of abrasive cleaners, bleach or other harmful chemicals or where atmospheric pollution can make an impact. Rust and corrosion are not covered under warranty as they are situational due to the above mentioned conditions.

Warranty does not cover lost or misplaced keys. Locks must be lubricated every 6 months or the warranty is invalid.

Waterproof

We do not guarantee that our letterboxes are waterproof but they do conform to ‘Water Resistant’ conditions. Whilst we endeavour to make all boxes as weather resistant as possible with weatherhoods, boxes can be subject to certain geographic conditions such as high winds & rains. Some leakage may occur through folds, doors or even the slot – we also advise keeping junk mail away from slot. Junk mail can sometimes act as a funnel for rain, which runs directly into the box.

Vandalism

Although we manufacture our letterboxes from high quality, thick aluminium to discourage vandalism, our warranty does not cover damage caused by members of the public.

Shipping Options

You will only be offered one shipping option for your order. We use two couriers, TNT/FedEx and Australia Post. Depending on the size, weight and volume of your order, you will be offered the corresponding service.

TNT/FedEx - Technology Sensitive express

Australia Post - Parcel Post

Shipping Costs

After adding your product to the cart and proceeding to the checkout, you will be prompted to enter your delivery address. From here we use a service that delivers live rates from couriers to provide a price based on order size, weight, volume and your shipping location. Heatlie Letterboxes has no control over these prices.

Your order may be subject to further fees such as a redelivery fee of $25 if the initial delivery attempt by the courier is unsuccessful.

60 Kinkaid Avenue, North Plympton SA 5037.

Order Lead Times

Letterbox manufacturing can take several days or weeks to complete. We can not make any promises as to delivery times and lead times. You will receive tracking information once your order has left our premises.

Freight

Heatlie Letterboxes carries insurance for all goods freighted. Once goods are set down at designated drop off point, they are no longer insured by Heatlie Letterboxes. Therefore, the customer needs to give clear instructions on where goods are to be delivered. Heatlie Letterboxes is not responsible for any goods lost, stolen or damaged after they have been signed over to the customer, their designated person or dropped at a stop instructed by the customer, (except in the event of damage which has occurred whilst being freighted as outlined below).

If no person is available to sign or no instructions have been left for the drop off of goods, then the goods may be taken back to the nearest depot and cost to retrieve goods will be the responsibility of the customer. Heatlie Letterboxes packages all goods appropriately to avoid and or minimize any damage being sustained during freight. Unfortunately, damage can occur which is beyond our control. It is the customer's responsibility to look over the goods when signing for delivery and making a note on the delivery cartnote of any damage they perceive.

In the event that no damage was perceived, and the customer has acknowledged that the goods have been delivered in good order and condition. It is the customer's responsibility to unwrap and inspect goods within the first 48 hours of taking delivery. If damage is evident, the customer must notify Heatlie Letterboxes within this set time, in writing, outlining all damage sustained, accompanied by photographic evidence to this effect.

Heatlie Letterboxes require the goods to be repacked by the customer to an adequate standard for freight. In most cases, Heatlie Letterboxes will have damaged goods refreighted back to our factory, where goods will be inspected. In cases where claim of damage is proven - replacement of same will be sent back to customer. All goods must be returned in same condition as sent, except for damage sustained in freight. Claims of damage are limited to damage to goods only.

Heatlie Letterboxes does not cover any consequential loss or damage suffered by the customer as a result of the damage of goods.

Ordered Goods

It is the customer's responsibility to check over their goods within 48 hours of receiving them to ensure that the item/items are exactly what was ordered. Faulty items need to be sent back to Heatlie Letterboxes.

If the item is deemed to be in good working order, not damaged and represents what was ordered then the cost of freight will be at the customer's expense.

Change of mind and not liking what was ordered from the website is not deemed as sufficient for return or refund. If Heatlie Letterboxes is notified within 48 hours of customer receiving goods and an item is deemed to be either faulty or not what was ordered, then Heatlie Letterboxes will make all reasonable efforts to correct the situation.

Disclaimer: Once you have placed your order the authority is given to proceed with project drawings. If you are to cancel your order after receiving these drawings, Heatlie Letterboxes reserves the right to retain up to 40% of the total cost of the job, for drawing services rendered.

Colours seen in the colour selection drop-down thumbnails and in the product images are computer-generated representations of the powder coat colours. They are not 100% accurate to how the real-life colour will appear, they are merely a guide. Several variables such as lighting and the surrounding environment will have a big impact on how your chosen colour will appear in the flesh.

Ordering Guide

Our custom faceplates have multiple ways in which they can be customised to suit your needs. Use the following as a guide to ordering a faceplate that fits your house and front garden to perfection.

Design Option & Orientation

Choose one of the set designs that we have carefully handpicked to best display your street address and number in style. Please feel free to use the comments section on your order to let us know if you want to make any tweaks to the design such as left aligning your address rather than centred.

Portrait or Landscape refers to the sizing. Portrait faceplates are narrower, accommodating a 231mm wide slot, whereas landscape is wider for a 331mm wide slot. All dimensions can be changed and customised during the drawing approval process.

Rain Hood Direction

The rain hood is the flap that helps protect your mail from getting wet, as well as stops people from reaching in easily to steal your mail. It can either come down and out from the top as an external hood, or go inwards from the bottom for an internal hood.

Faceplate Colour/Material

This is the material and/or colour of the faceplate. Your choices are 304 stainless steel with a horizontal brush finish or aluminium powder-coated in the Colorbond colour of your choice.

We are able to supply faceplates in other materials including but not limited to...

Brass
Copper
Corten Steel
Stainless Steel 316

These are not available on the website but feel free to contact us for a quote if they interest you.

Font

This is the font of the text that is cut out of the faceplate. See the "Fonts" tab for more info.

Backing Plate Colour

The backing plate is a solid, coloured plate that is stuck behind where the faceplate text is cut out. This ensures that your text is readable and pops. Make sure to pick a contrasting colour from your faceplate. We only offer the three colours listed.

Faceplate Text

This is where your street name and/or number goes. It is up to you what you include here and what the capitalisation looks like. You are welcome to have all capitals, all lowercase or title case. You can also opt to only have your street number, only your street name, or both. Including the street abbreviation (i.e. St, Ave, Rd) is optional as well.

Manufacture

Once you have submitted your order and payment is received, we will create professional concept drawings. These will be sent to you via email for your approval. You have the opportunity to ask for adjustments and changes here, up to two times. Please note some changes may incur an extra charge.

Once we have your full approval in writing, we will submit the designs to the workshop to be manufactured right here in North Plympton, South Australia.

Manufacturing will not begin without your written approval. Our current lead time for custom faceplates is 4-6 weeks from the approval of your design.

Installation

Custom faceplates are suitable to be installed along with a no-front letterbox into walls and fences of all kinds. If you already have an opening or box in your wall, you can attach the faceplate with some construction adhesive like liquid nails or sika flex.

For brush fences, we do not recommend ordering a custom faceplate + no front box combination as they aren't suited to it. These are designed to be in structurally sound installations with solid surfaces for the faceplate and box to be adhered to.
