Shipping policy
Apex Grow ships Australia-wide. The majority of orders ship from Melbourne, with some items dispatched from Adelaide. We use a weight-based shipping system so your shipping cost accurately reflects the size and weight of your order.
Free Shipping
Free shipping is available on three tiers. Your order qualifies for whichever one it fits, based on both the order total and the parcel weight. This applies automatically at checkout.
| Spend | Parcel weight | Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| $150 or more | Up to 3kg | Free |
| $250 or more | 3 to 5kg | Free |
| $350 or more | 5 to 12kg | Free |
Free shipping applies to Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT. It isn't available to Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania or remote areas.
Weight matters as much as spend. Most 1L nutrients weigh about 1.2kg, so three bottles is already 3.6kg. A $200 order of three 1L bottles falls into the 3 to 5kg band, which needs $250 to ship free. Your cart will show you which rate applies before you pay.
Orders over 12kg don't qualify for free shipping at any spend. From time to time we also run promotional bundles, such as a grow tent and LED light purchased together, with free shipping included regardless of the standard weight limit. Any active promotions will be shown on the relevant product or collection page.
Order Processing & Dispatch Times
Orders are processed and dispatched on business days only, Monday to Friday, excluding Australian public holidays. Orders placed outside business hours, on weekends, or on public holidays will be processed from the start of the next available business day.
Once your order has been dispatched you will receive a tracking notification via email. Estimated delivery timeframes begin from the date of dispatch, not the date of order.

The free shipping tiers above do not extend to this zone given the greater freight distance and cost involved.
Carriers
Orders under 10kg are dispatched via Australia Post. Orders over 10kg are dispatched via Direct Freight or TNT Express depending on destination and product type.
For all freight quote orders, you can complete your purchase without paying for shipping upfront. We will calculate the most competitive rate and contact you within 24 hours of your order being placed. Your order will be dispatched once the freight invoice is confirmed. You will always have the option to accept the revised rate or receive a full refund.
Shipping Rate Disclaimer
*Our flat rate shipping tiers are reviewed regularly to ensure they accurately reflect current carrier pricing. In exceptional circumstances where carrier rate adjustments or fuel surcharges result in a significant difference between the rate displayed at checkout and our actual freight cost, particularly for heavier orders or remote area deliveries, we reserve the right to contact you with a revised shipping invoice before dispatch. This is rare and will only occur in genuinely unusual circumstances. You will always have the option to accept the revised rate or receive a full refund. We will never dispatch an order with additional charges without your prior approval.
Discreet Packaging
All orders are packed discreetly with no external markings indicating the contents of your package. We respect your privacy.
