Why was my parcel left unattended?

All of our online orders are dispatched with ‘Authority to Leave’ at the time of purchase.

You agree that the parcel is deemed ‘delivered’ when left at your premises.

Although the courier will use their discretion, if they do not think it is safe to leave your parcel unattended, they will take your parcel to your local post office and will leave a card to call.

If you have any enquiries relating to the whereabouts of your parcel, we advise that you contact Star Track directly on - 13 23 45.
