Shipping and delivery
Lightspeed partners with a third-party supplier that works with TNT and StarTrack to deliver hardware to most residential and business addresses across Australia and New Zealand.
- For TNT deliveries (tracking numbers typically start with SK), visit TNT Track & Trace.
- For StarTrack deliveries (tracking numbers typically start with MF), visit StarTrack Tracking.
Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive a tracking number to your provided email. Check your inbox for this notification. You can also log in to our webstore, go to your profile, and view your recent order details, including tracking links.
If you have not received an email with a TNT or StarTrack consignment number, contact our Support team directly for assistance.
Standard delivery costs either $35 or $50, depending on the package size and your distance from the courier’s distribution centre. Orders with more than one POS setup are generally classified as Heavy Shipping ($50).
Hardware orders are dispatched only after payment is received. If paying by bank transfer, allow extra time for the payment to clear. You can confirm your payment status by logging in to our webstore and checking your profile.
Orders paid before 11:59 AM are usually dispatched the same day; those paid after 12:00 PM are sent the next business day. Delivery typically takes 3–5 business days from dispatch.
In some cases, delays may occur due to factors outside our control. You’ll receive an email update once your order ships.
If the driver has attempted delivery to you and left a card, TNT will make another attempt within two business days. If the driver has not yet attempted delivery or you do not have a re-delivery card, contact TNT Support at https://www.tnt.com/express/en_au/site/support.html. Your inquiry must include the consignment number and delivery address.
Delivery depends on the coverage of our partner couriers. We’re unable to ship to certain remote areas, including overseas locations and Australian islands not on the mainland (except Tasmania). We do not deliver to P.O. boxes or parcel lockers.
You must verify your delivery address and information before placing the order. If the address provided is incorrect and the package is returned, a $45 (excluding GST) redirection fee applies, and you will be billed for additional shipping charges to ensure your delivery reaches you.
If you have received your order and found that an item is missing, let us know as soon as possible by reaching out to our Support team. We will investigate and update you accordingly.
