Shipping policy
When it comes to shipping and delivery, Shams Golf Exchange is committed to providing a seamless and efficient experience for our customers. We understand the importance of receiving your order in a timely manner, and we strive to ensure that all shipments are handled with care and delivered promptly.
Almost all shipping partners in Australia consider any parcels longer than 105cms to be "oversized" unfortunately this means that most golf clubs fall into this and because we are shipping from business to residential, its quite, well, expensive. Our shipping costs are as competitive as we can afford and in most cases we will be contributing some of the shipping costs over and above what we charge you as the customer.
Our shipping and delivery conditions are designed to meet the needs of our customers while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability. Here are some key details about our shipping and delivery process:
