Shipping and Delivery FAQ

When will my Square Shop order arrive?

Your order will be shipped via standard or paid + expedited delivery:

  • Standard: 2-7 business days

  • Express: 1-4 business days

Keep in mind: If you’ve ordered multiple items from the Square Shop, it may arrive in multiple packages. All hardware shipping is carbon-neutral.

How can I check my order tracking details?

If your account is set up correctly, you’ll next need to check your order via Square Shop.

  1. From Square Shop, sign in to your Square account.
  2. In the top right hand corner, click My Account > Order Status.
  3. Click your order to view the order details.

If your order has been fully processed, you can track your order by selecting Track Order on your hardware order – it may still be in transit.

Note: We’ll also email you updates as we process your order, including carrier tracking details for shipped orders and order status. You can track your order from the link in your shipping confirmation email, as well as sign up for SMS alerts about the status of your shipment. The tracking page and SMS messages relay the shipment scans while en route.

Tracking information can take up to 24 hours to appear after your item ships. Note: If an order includes multiple items, each may have a separate delivery date and tracking information.

Why is my order delayed?

Note: If your delivery date changes, please allow the carrier the opportunity to deliver on the new scheduled day.

How can I locate a missing order?

If your tracking information states that your package was delivered but you have not received it, please check around your home, as the package may have been left in a safe place.

Please check with your neighbours as someone may have retrieved the package.

If you are still unable to locate your package, please contact the carrier (TNT or Australia Post) directly to confirm the delivery location.

If you have spoken to the carrier and they are unable to assist, contact Square Support at 1800 760 137, Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm.

I’ve missed a delivery, how do I collect it?

Our carriers deliver throughout the day—including evenings—but sometimes they are unable to deliver your package. The carrier will let you know they are holding it at a local facility by leaving a note or calling you directly. Please contact TNT (FedEx Express) or Australia Post directly to organise collection of your order.

Why is my delivery status pending?

If your tracking information shows “On its way” and there is no delivery date after 48 hours, please contact the delivery carrier (TNT or Australia Post) directly to receive an update.

If they are unable to assist, contact Square Support at 1800 760 137, Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm.
