Delivery & Installation

Our delivery service is available across Australia. It will be carried out by a reputable courier or may be delivered direct by the supplier, eg. Electrolux. We do not offer an installation service.

If you live in a non-serviceable area and extra delivery costs are required, our team will contact you directly to discuss your options. If you have any questions or concerns about deliveries or installations, you should email contact@leadingedgeappliances.com.au.

One thing we want to avoid is unforeseen variables when attempting to deliver appliances that result in additional costs. Please review the below checklist before placing your order so we can do our best to meet your needs and expectations. We reserve the right to charge for additional time and services required to make a delivery that fails to adhere to the below checklist.

Do you provide appropriate and safe access to your property and dwelling?
Verify dimensions – will your new appliance fit in the intended area?
Check for obstacles along the path to the hook up location. Is the path clear? Will the appliance fit through the front door?
Verify that an unloading zone is available within 7m of the home for parking and access.
Verify that there is an elevator or less than 3 steps to get to the delivery location.
You will be required to present your proof of purchase and photo ID upon delivery.
Inspect your new appliance for any visible damage. Notify the delivery driver of any damage at time of hook up.
Verify that plumbing is in working order. Old taps that aren't in frequent use tend to leak when turned on, this is not a fault of the appliance.
We do NOT carry bulky items up spiral staircases. We will bring the appliance inside, up to the bottom of the staircase.
