# Incorrect or Incomplete Shipping Details

We ship to the address exactly as it is entered at checkout. Our warehouse, our carriers, and our label printers all work from that address, so if it's wrong or missing something, the parcel goes to the wrong place — or nowhere at all.

**The short version:** if an order can't be delivered because the shipping details supplied to us were incorrect or incomplete, **the cost of reshipping it is payable by you**. Please double-check your address before you pay — it takes ten seconds and it's the single most common cause of a delayed delivery.

### What Counts as Incorrect or Incomplete

A parcel commonly fails to arrive because of details like these:

- **A missing unit, apartment, suite, or level number** — the most frequent cause by far. "12 Smith Street" is not the same address as "Unit 7, 12 Smith Street".
- **A missing business, school, or department name** where the parcel is going to a workplace, campus, or large site with a mailroom.
- **A wrong or transposed street number, street name, suburb, state, or postcode.**
- **An address that no longer applies** — you've moved, or a saved address at checkout was out of date.
- **No usable phone number or email address**, so the carrier can't contact you to arrange delivery or a re-delivery.
- **An address the carrier can't service**, such as a PO Box for a courier-only service, or an incomplete rural address.

### What Happens When Delivery Fails

Depending on the carrier and the nature of the error, one of the following usually occurs:

- The parcel is **returned to us as undeliverable**, often after several weeks in the carrier's network.
- The parcel is **held at a depot or post office** pending correct details or collection.
- The parcel is **delivered to the address as supplied** — which, if that address was wrong, means it has been delivered to someone else.

### Reshipping Costs

Where an order needs to be sent again because of incorrect or incomplete details supplied to us:

- **Reshipping is charged at the applicable shipping rate** for the corrected address. We'll quote it to you before we send the parcel again.
- **The original shipping charge is not refunded.** That delivery was attempted and paid for, and the carrier charges us whether or not the parcel arrived.
- **Any return-to-sender or carrier redirection fee** we're charged is passed on at cost.
- If you'd rather **cancel than reship**, we'll refund the goods once the parcel is back with us and has been checked. Outbound shipping and any carrier return fees aren't refundable.
- If the parcel was **delivered exactly as addressed** to an address that turned out to be wrong, we're unable to replace it free of charge — the goods were delivered as instructed, and we have no way to retrieve them.

### When We Cover It

This policy is about details supplied to us — not about our mistakes. **If we get it wrong, we fix it at our expense.** If we mis-key an address, ship to the wrong saved address, send the wrong item, or the carrier loses or damages the parcel while the address was correct, we'll sort it out and cover the cost. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law for faulty, damaged, or incorrectly supplied goods are not affected by anything on this page.

### How to Avoid It

- **Read the address back before you pay.** The checkout shows you exactly what will be printed on the label.
- **Include your unit or level number** in the address line, not just in delivery instructions.
- **Add the business or school name** if the parcel is going somewhere with a reception or mailroom.
- **Give us a mobile number you actually answer** — carriers use it for delivery notifications and re-delivery.
- **Keep your saved addresses tidy.** See [Managing Your Addresses](/help/managing-addresses).

### Spotted a Mistake? Tell Us Straight Away

We dispatch quickly, so time matters here. **If your order hasn't shipped yet, we'll correct the address for free** — there's no charge for fixing an address before the label is printed. Email us at [team@littlebirdelectronics.com.au](mailto:team@littlebirdelectronics.com.au) with your order number and the corrected address as soon as you notice.

If it has already shipped, you may still be able to redirect the parcel yourself using your tracking number through the carrier's website or app — see [Tracking Your Delivery](/help/tracking-delivery) and [Updating Your Shipping Address](/help/updating-shipping-address). Any redirection fee the carrier charges is payable by you.
