Sydney Delivery
Does Padstow Food Service deliver?
Yes. We provide foodservice delivery throughout eligible Sydney metropolitan areas. Ambient, non-refrigerated products can also be sent to many locations across Australia using Australia Post or a courier.
See our Delivery Options for current delivery areas, postcode information and conditions.
How much does delivery cost?
Sydney delivery fees are based on your postcode, order value and the delivery option available for your address. Enter your delivery address during checkout to see the available options.
Do you offer free delivery?
Free delivery is available in many Sydney metropolitan areas when the applicable order-value threshold is reached. Thresholds vary according to location. Orders below the relevant threshold may still be delivered for a fee.
When will my Sydney order be delivered?
We service different Sydney metropolitan areas on scheduled delivery days. Your delivery day will depend on your postcode and when the order is placed. Please refer to our Delivery Options page or contact us before ordering if you need delivery by a particular date.
Do you deliver frozen and refrigerated food?
Yes. We deliver frozen, chilled and refrigerated products throughout eligible Sydney metropolitan delivery areas using suitable foodservice transport.
Do you deliver frozen or refrigerated products outside Sydney?
Refrigerated delivery outside the Sydney metropolitan area is considered individually because suitable refrigerated freight can be expensive and may not be practical for smaller orders. Please contact our team before ordering refrigerated or frozen products for delivery outside Sydney.
Australia-Wide Shipping
Do you ship products outside Sydney?
Yes. Many ambient, non-refrigerated products can be shipped throughout Australia using Australia Post or a courier. Frozen, chilled and other temperature-sensitive products may be restricted.
How is freight outside Sydney calculated?
Orders may need to be packed, weighed and measured before an accurate freight price can be confirmed. Where a shipping price is not available automatically at checkout, we will identify a suitable option and email you a quote before dispatch.
You may accept and pay the quoted freight charge or decline it. If you decline the quote, the pre-authorisation associated with the order can be voided.
Can I arrange my own courier or freight?
Yes. You can arrange for your own courier, Uber driver or nominated person to collect your order from our Padstow warehouse. Please provide the relevant details when ordering and make sure the service is suitable for the products being collected.
Can butter be shipped interstate or to regional areas?
Butter may be shipped by courier or Australia Post during cooler months, but we do not recommend sending it this way during warmer weather. Where accepted for shipping, butter may be wrapped in thermal bubble insulation; however, this does not provide refrigerated temperature control. Temperature-sensitive products travel at the customer’s risk once they leave our warehouse.
Will I receive tracking information?
Tracking information is normally provided for orders sent by Australia Post or courier. Express shipping may be available for suitable products at an additional cost.
Orders, Payments and Food Safety
When is payment taken for an online order?
Your payment is generally pre-authorised when the order is placed and captured when the order is prepared for dispatch. If an external freight quote is required, we will contact you before proceeding.
Do you offer business credit accounts?
We do not generally open new credit accounts. Approved existing trade customers and certain eligible organisations may have access to separately arranged account terms. Most customers can order using the payment methods offered at checkout.
Is Padstow Food Service HACCP certified?
Yes. Padstow Food Service maintains HACCP food-safety certification and undergoes regular auditing. You can view our current information on the HACCP Food Safety page.
