Delivery FAQs

All of your Gram questions answered in one place!

 

SHOP AT HOME

Let's make plastic-free shopping the norm.

We offer delivery of our great, mostly-aussie and (most importantly) plastic-free products at affordable rates.

 

WHERE DO YOU DELIVER

Gram Sustainable delivers online orders through third party delivery partners.

We provide all domestic delivery to urban, regional as well as remote areas, through a great network in Australia which spans coast to coast.

However, drivers can’t pick up from or deliver to places like:

  • Auction houses 
  • Malls or shopping centres 
  • Furniture and retail stores 
  • Hospitals Military bases Airports 
  • PO boxes

That’s because getting into these places can be tricky or prohibited altogether without access to a docking bay (something that’s often required at these types of locations).

 

HOW MUCH IS DELIVERY

Local delivery is free. Delivery charges interstate are based on the weight of your order. These are calculated at checkout. 

 

HOW AND WHEN WILL MY ITEMS BE DELIVERED

We start processing orders quickly after they are placed, so any cancellation or changes to the order should be requested as soon as possible. All the orders placed by customers are automatically processed, and the processing incurs in costs that can’t be reversed. So only the cancellation requests that we receive immediately after the order was placed, have a chance to get accepted.

Gram Sustainable delivers online orders through third party delivery partners, and therefore some delivery aspects are not in our control. Once we hand over your order to our delivery partner, we can’t confirm the exact delivery time. However, we work closely with our delivery partners and customers to help track your order if there is an issue with the delivery.

If the customer hasn’t provided special delivery instructions, the package will be left at the doorstep or a safe place near your front door in case no one is at home to receive it. Once the product has been delivered to your location, Gram Sustainable is not responsible for loss or damages to your order.

 

WHAT IF I'M NOT HOME WHEN MY DELIVERY COMES

If you haven't provided special delivery instructions, the package will be left at the doorstep or a safe place near your front door in case no one is at home to receive it. Once the product has been delivered to your location, Gram Sustainable is not responsible for loss or damages to the order.

You also have an option to make a note in the delivery instructions if you want to sign to confirm that you have received the delivery of the order. When such delivery instructions are provided, we make sure the delivery personnel stays at your door until you sign to confirm the delivery. However, if no one is present at the delivery address to sign for the order when this service has been requested we don’t take responsibility for damage or loss of items when the order is returned to the courier depot.

HOW WILL MY ITEMS BE PACKAGED 

Gram Sustainable meticulously hand-packages all products to ensure quality and environmental integrity.

 

We are dedicated to reducing waste and minimising plastic use. Nevertheless, ensuring the safe transport of goods across Australia is imperative. In instances where protection is necessary, we employ compostable recycled cardboard ‘bubble’ wrap and place products in cardboard boxes constructed from recycled materials.

 

For Interstate Deliveries:

Below is our packaging process for different types of items:

  1. Dry Items (Nuts, Grains, Muesli, etc.): These are initially packaged in cellulose-based plastic, significantly reducing the risk of natural oil seepage. Cellulose is a decomposable material, breaking down within 180 days, aligning with our sustainability commitments. To provide additional protection and support, we then use paper packaging.

  2. Oils and Liquids: For these, we utilize glass bottles to maintain purity and prevent contamination. Glass is recyclable and aligns with our mission to reduce environmental impact.

  3. Nut Butters: These are packaged using glass jars, ensuring freshness while adhering to our environmental values.

 

For Local Deliveries:

Gram Sustainable has tailored the packaging process to maintain sustainability while ensuring the integrity and freshness of our products:

  1. Dry Items (Nuts, Grains, Muesli, etc.): For local distribution, we forgo cellulose-based plastic and directly package these items in paper bags. This approach further minimizes our environmental footprint and aligns with our commitment to sustainability. The paper packaging is strong enough to protect the products while remaining biodegradable.

  2. Milk, Juice, Kombucha, and other Liquids: We deliver these in glass bottles, consistent with our approach to oils and liquids. Glass bottles are chosen for their purity, recyclability, and ability to preserve the freshness of the contents, thus maintaining our dedication to reducing environmental impact.

  3. Nut Butters: Locally, we package nut butters in glass jars instead of bio-decomposable plastic. This choice supports our environmental objectives while ensuring the products remain fresh and uncontaminated.

 

By making a purchase through our website, you consent to our packing methods, designed with environmental responsibility in mind. We continuously seek to lessen our environmental impact and enhance our practices.
