Despite the latest Sydney lockdown (started on 25 June 2021), it is largely business as normal for SMITH&SMITH, with orders bring dispatched daily.

STOCK LEVELS 

The pandemic has certainly meant that we are seeing stock shortages. Our business alone has grown six-fold in the last 12 months, which has meant manufacturing to replenish our Sydney warehouse is an ongoing task that keeps us very very busy.

To avoid disapointment, we recommend allowing for greater lead times when purchasing some lighting, and buying stock early where you do find stock is immediately available.   

DELIVERY

We deliver all lighting by courier, and except for some very large items, we deliver free across Australia. Couriers are now largely accustomsed to the higher shipment volumes experienced during Covid-19, with deliveries across Australia back to normal timeframes. Even during state-based lockdowns, couriers have always been considered an essential service. Deliveries are contactless.

We charge very competitive delivery rates to NZ with deliveries also now back to pre-covid timetables. Contact us for a quote today.

We provide online tracking for all orders, and we also insure all items, so if by rare chance there is any damage during transit, it's on us to remedy, not on our Customers.
