Alternatively, please feel free to contact us for more information on a product’s delivery timeframe to your location.

• DrummingMad makes every effort to deliver your product according to the estimated delivery times. The estimated delivery times are in business days (Monday through Friday) excluding Public holidays.

• Although every effort is made to ship your order according to the estimated delivery times provided, estimated ship times may change due to changes in supply or circumstances beyond our control. If your goods have not arrived after the estimated delivery time, please contact us.

• Unless otherwise agreed by us, we will deliver your products to the address indicated on your order confirmation. If no-one is available to take delivery of your products, our carrier may leave a card so you can pick-up your product from the nominated depot. Where delivery is by our courier service and no-one is available to take delivery, they may leave a card requesting you to telephone them to arrange a suitable time and date for delivery. Responsibility lies with you and not DrummingMad to arrange alternative collection or re-delivery with the delivery agent. Any costs incurred to redirect shipments will be at the customers cost.
