I have not received an Order Confirmation?

My order hasn't arrived. Where is it?

If you have not received your order within 5 days, please Contact Us so that we can check what has happened to your parcel. In most cases, the delivery of your order may have been attempted while you weren't there to sign for the parcel.

Check your mailbox for an Attempted Delivery notice or a Collection Card from the postal service. If delivery is attempted and your parcel is too big to leave in the mailbox it will be taken back to your local post office and will be held there for you to collect.

There are a few other reasons why your order may not have arrived as yet:

  • Items are shipped during the Working Week (Mon to Fri). If you place your order on the weekend or on a Public Holiday your order will be despatched the Next Business Working Day.
  • The delivery timeframes listed at the checkout are from the time your order is shipped from our warehouse, not from the time you place your order.Your order is shipped when you receive your Shipping Confirmation email.  If you are trying to work out which day your parcel will arrive, make sure you count the days from when you receive your Shipping Confirmation email - not from the date you placed your order.
  • If a parcel is too big to fit securely into your mailbox, the Postman will leave a Collection Card in your mailbox and return the parcel to your local Australia Post outlet where it will be held for you to pick it up within 5 business days. Occasionally the Postman may forget to leave a collection card for you. In cases where this may have happened, we advise that you check with your local Australia Post outlet because they may be holding your parcel for you.
  • If you are having the parcel delivered to work, check with your receptionist and work colleagues to see if they' ve seen your parcel.
  • Check your order Shipping Confirmation email to make sure the shipping address you entered when you placed your order was correct. It is important that your shipping address details are correct to avoid unnecessary delays or midirected parcels.  Active Socks will not be responsible for orders that are misdirected as a result of customers providing incorrect or incomplete address details..

If you’ve checked all of the above and still no parcel, call us on +61 3 9384 6933 with your order number and we'll look into it for you.

Why do you need my details?

The contact information you provide will only be used to process and deliver your order.

It's important that you provide us with a contact phone number so that we can contact you if we need to clarify any details of your order. Please note that a re-shipping fee may be charged if the details submitted by you are incorrect.

Remember to double-check that the Delivery Address details you have entered are correct because we can't be held responsible for goods not being delivered in this circumstance. It's also important to include a postcode because many suburb names are duplicated around the country.

If you don't know the Postcode for your delivery address please see the Find a Postcode page on the Australia Post website.
