FAQ
Check out our answers to the most common questions about products, orders, shipments, and payments.
Shipping & delivery
We understand the anticipation of receiving your order, and we apologise for any delays you may have experienced. If you place an order on a Friday afternoon or over the weekend, it will be sent out on the next business day. We are closed on public holidays, so please take this into account when placing an order.
We are working diligently to dispatch your order as quickly as possible! While our standard aim is to have orders dispatched within 3 days from purchase, please note that during peak sale periods, there may be a delay of up to 7 days beyond our normal dispatch times.
Although we work very hard to avoid discrepancies in our inventory, occasionally we are unable to dispatch your order due to out of stock products.
In the event that we are unable to dispatch your order, we will notify you promptly. You'll have the flexibility to choose a resolution that suits you best, be it a refund, a credit note, or a replacement item of equal value. If you opt for a replacement, please share details such as your preferred item, colour, and size. While availability may vary, we're committed to accommodating your preferences.
If we have contacted you regarding an undispatched item, please make sure to reply to our email and let us know your preferred resolution.
Delivery Times and Australia Post:
We recognise that delivery times, particularly with Australia Post, can vary. If you're facing prolonged delivery times or your order tracking remains stuck on 'Processing,' we recommend contacting Australia Post. This will ensure a quick resolution. You can contact Australia Post here.
Please be aware that Australia Post investigations generally take 5-10 business days to resolve.
We are so sorry if you have not received your entire shipment! This occasionally happens for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it could be due to an out of stock item. If this is the case, please make sure to check your spam folder as we will ALWAYS contact you about this matter. Another reason is it may be coming in a separate parcel, we aim to send orders in one shipment, sometimes this is not possible.
You can verify if the missing item is supposed to be in the received shipment by checking your dispatch notification email.
If the missing item is supposed to be in the shipment you've received, please contact us as soon as possible, so we can swiftly resolve this for you.
If you have received a dispatch notification from Boom Shankar and are yet to received your parcel, we apologise for any delay. This may be due to a hold up with in our third-party shipping partners.
Below are the estimated delivery times for our shipment methods after dispatch:
- Standard Post: Generally takes between 2 to 8 business days.
- Express Post: Typically arrives within 1 to 4 business days.
- DHL International: Delivery times vary based on the destination country, usually ranging from 6 to 27 business days.
Please note that these estimated times may vary based on your location. Our parcels are sent from Noosaville, Queensland. So if you are located in South Australia or Western Australia, please allow a little more time to receive your online order.
The best way to see the status of your delivery is to track your parcel using the tracking number provided in the dispatch email we sent you.
Parcel Tracking:
If your parcel is outside the estimated delivery times for your type of shipment, we recommend contacting Australia Post for the quickest resolution. You can contact Australia Post here. Please be aware that Australia Post investigations generally take 5-10 business days to resolve.
If your Australia Post tracking shows your parcel as Delivered, but you can't find it on your premises, we recommend contacting your local Australia Post Facility. They may be holding it for you. If the tracking shows Delivered - left in a safe location, your parcel was delivered via Australia Post Safe Drop. The postal driver would have taken a photo as evidence of where the parcel was left. If you can't find the parcel, please contact Australia Post as they can provide you with this photo.You are always welcome to contact Boom Shankar to help find your parcel. Please send us an email with the details.

Dispatch times typically range from 1-3 business days after placing your order, extending to 7-10 business days during sales periods. We're working hard to get your order to you as fast as possible.

Issue with a Discount
We’re happy to help with any difficulties you may be experiencing when trying to apply a promotion to your order.

We apologise if your code is not working! This may be due to the promotion already ending or your order not meeting the terms and conditions. You can find the specific T&Cs in the original email containing the code. If the promotion is still ongoing, and your order aligns with the T&Cs, you can contact us. Provide your code, items you wish to purchase and relevant screenshots, and we'll have a look into this for you.
Please note: You may only use one discount code at a time. This means you will not be able to use a flash promotion code and your Boom Benefits rewards at the same time.

Many of our advertised promotions do not have codes, they are simply automatically applied at the checkout or are already marked down! Usually, these promotions are already calculated into the item's listed price for your convenience. If a promotion should be applied at checkout, this will be specified in the promotion email you received and the T&Cs of the promotion.
Please note: You may only use one discount code at a time. This means you will not be able to use a flash promotion code and your Boom Benefits rewards at the same time. You may however, use your Boom Benefits rewards code with items that are physically marked down and don’t require a discount code.
