Order acceptance is not a guarantee

The acceptance of your order is not a guarantee of delivery within a specific time. We do everything possible to ensure that the availability of product on the website is accurate.  In the event of a stock discrepancy or delay in arrival of stock on a pre-order, we may experience a delay in being able to deliver your order. In this case we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and what your options are.  This could be to wait for delivery or to accept a different model or colour that is available sooner.

Delivery of your order

Where can we deliver?

We can organise delivery to most regions and postcodes in Australia.  If your postcode is not available, please contact us to see if we can find a solution.

How much is delivery?

Australia is a large Country and delivery costs vary widely. Therefore we calculate delivery based upon your location and the available transport options. An Ergohuman Chair in its carton weighs between 33 and 39kg and is a third of a cubic metre.  There is a shipment calculator on the cart page where you can enter your suburb and postcode to calculate a delivery price for your order.  We continually monitor prices by Carrier to provide the most cost effective rates possible.

Who do we use for delivery?

Due to the size and weight of an Ergohuman Chair we use Carriers that can handle bulky goods.  An Ergohuman Chair is too large and heavy for most Courier companies such as Australia Post etc.  We regularly use TNT Express, Northline Transport, Allied Express and for Metro deliveries, Bonds Couriers.  The selection will be based on the best service and price for your location. We also sometimes Bulk Ship orders to a local Depot and use a local Courier service for the last leg to your property.

How long does delivery take?

We aim to despatch orders within 2 full working days from receipt of order and achieve this most of the time.  At very busy times we can take an extra day or so for despatch from our warehouse. The transit time to your door varies around the country. Sydney is normally 1-3 working days, Melbourne 3-5 working days, and Brisbane/Adelaide 4-7 working days. We now have a local stock holding in Perth from which means we can offer 1-3 working days from despatch for Perth and Rockingham/Mundurah.

What happens if there are delivery delays?

We endeavour to deliver your chair as quickly as possible and work with our Carriers to expedite deliveries as best we can.  Occasionally delays occur that are beyond our control which can be due to adverse weather conditions, unusually high freight volumes, pandemics, etc  In these instances we will do everything we can to resolve the problem and get your chair delivered, however we cannot accept liability for factors outside of our control.

Is there delivery tracking available?

Wherever we use a major Carrier there is tracking available through their tracking system.  The tracking will be sent to you with your shipping confirmation by email or SMS. It will also be available in your Ergohuman Account if you have created one. For some local Couriers who do not have a tracking system, we will email or SMS you with the expected delivery date.

What does delivery include?

The standard delivery is a kerbside service to a ground floor or building entry. It does not include delivery into a room within a building or to a higher floor, unless it has been pre-arranged.

Will the Carrier call ahead of delivery?

The Carrier is instructed to call or SMS ahead of arrival.  This happens most of the time although we cannot guarantee every driver will do this every time. We reinforce this instruction with our delivery partners on a regular basis.

Will we remove your old chair?

We do not currently offer a removal service for the Office Chair you are replacing.

Do I need to be home to receive delivery?

Due to the size and value of your Chair we do require a POD (Proof of Delivery) which usually involves an authorised person signing for the delivery.  It may be possible to provide the Carrier with an ATL (Authority to Leave) if you are happy for the chair to be left in a safe place.

Do you offer pick up?

If you would like to collect it may be possible in Sydney or Perth only. Please contact us to see if the model you wish to buy is available for collection. We need to arrange it in advance with the warehouse.

Do you deliver to PO Boxes or parcel lockers?

The size and dimensions of the Ergohuman carton exceed the size limits for delivery to a Post Office, Post Office Box or Parcel Locker.

What happens if I receive a damaged carton or chair?

If you receive a delivery with superficial carton damage, please let us know and send us photographs. The Chairs are well packed and can sustain some rough treatment without the chair being affected. If there is damage to any part of the chair, let us know with photographs and we will resolve it for you.  If the damage is more than superficial, refuse the delivery if possible.  If this was not possible, let us know with photographs and we will give you instructions on next steps.

Unpacking and assembly of your chair

Does the chair arrive already assembled?

The Chair arrives factory sealed in a box and requires some limited assembly. The complex parts are pre-assembled and assembly takes approx. 12 minutes.  This involves 6 bolts and inserting the wheels and gas lift. The assembly instructions by model are available HERE

Where do I find the assembly instructions?

The assembly instructions can be located in a folded booklet inside a plastic sleeve that is kimbel tagged to the back of the back-rest.  They are not loose in the packaging and can also be downloaded HERE

Where do I find the Users Manual?

The guide to the chair is contained in the same booklet that is attached to the back rest. This is inside a plastic sleeve that is kimbel tagged to the back of the back rest.

Are there any tips for assembly?

  1. The back-rest is quite heavy and it helps if someone can hold the back-rest while the other person installs the bolts.
  2. For the bolts that attach the back-rest to the seatbase, it helps to get each one started and to tighten them evenly. If you tighten one fully it may pull the opposite bolt slightly out of alignment and make it harder to tighten.
  3. We recommend installing the arm-rests first with the seat base upside down. If you install last, you need to install the bolts upside down which makes its harder to keep the bolt straight. If forced on an angle, it is possible to cross thread the thread in the arm-rest.  If this happens, just let us know and we will resolve it for you.

Warranty and Returns

What is the Warranty on my Chair?

All Ergohuman Chairs have a standard 3 year Warranty covering manufacturing defects or faults. An extended 5 year Warranty is available and is offered as a promotion from time to time. For the full Warranty terms and the process to make a claim please click HERE

Can I return my chair if I am not happy with it?

We believe an Ergohuman Ergonomic Chair  is unbeatable in terms of ergonomic comfort, durability and value for money. However nothing beats trying out a chair in person and there is always some risk in buying without trying.  With that in mind we offer a generous 60 days to use your chair and be satisfied that its right for you.  If it does not meet your expectations, you can return it with no questions asked.  For full terms and instructions on initiating a return, please click HERE
