Unfortunately, our platform is unable to accurately predict the cost of multiple products, pallets and heavy shipments. If you have questions about your freight, please contact us.
"Why am I not seeing my freight calculated at checkout?"
We are a wholesaler for bulk supplies, and often the weights of pallets we ship out can be 50kg+. We charge freight at cost what is charged from our freight company due to size, weight and dimensions of what is being sent out. Unfortunately our platform is unable to accurately predict the cost of pallets and heavy shipments like this. If you have questions about your freight, please send an email to sales@schoolartsupplies.com.au.
