HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY ORDER TO BE DELIVERED?
Most orders are shipped out same or next business day when ordering before 1pm (AEST).
We quote the time before an item ships for most products on our site. 95% of our items available to purchase are in stock and ready to ship! We ship items that are in stock same day (or at least within 24 hours) and items that aren't in stock can be sourced and packed for shipment in two to seven days. This is the time that it takes for us to ship the order, not the time it takes for the order to be delivered.
You will receive an email to let you know your item has been shipped, or if you have set up an account, you can login to check the status of your order at any time.
To work out the total delivery time you will need to add the shipping time quoted on our site to the following delivery times quoted by Australia Post, although in many cases can be quicker.
EXPRESS POST OR EXPRESS COURIER
If you need your order in a hurry and won't be home to sign for the package you can send it by Express Post or Express Courier, often next day in Victoria and usually cuts around two days off the delivery time for other destinations.
Express Post is mostly used for customers with Australia Post PO boxes.
Express Courier is usually with TOLL PRIORITY couriers and can be left with no signature required, so you are not required to be at home.
Delivery by express courier is usually 1-2 days to most areas in Australia, but delivery to remote areas may take longer.
Using Express Post or Courier also gives you a tracking number to trace your order.
Express Post is charged at a flat rate of $9.50 per order to Australia only, using Australia Post
Express Courier is charged at $15 per order (Australia only)
DO I HAVE TO BE HOME FOR MY ORDER TO BE DELIVERED?
No, just put in the comments box at checkout what you would prefer be done with the parcel (ie: leave at door)
If your parcel is sent by Australia Post, they may leave if they deem it is safe, or may card for pick up at your local post office.
If your parcel is shipped with Couriers Please, the parcel will be left with no signature, or you can login to nominate an alternate address.
If your parcel is shipped with TOLL DX EXPRESS, the parcel will be left with no signature if safe to do so, or (rarely) may be carded for pickup at your local news agency.
NEW ZEALAND ORDERS
For New Zealand orders, you have the choice of tracking for $15, or shipping without tracking.
Shipping with tracking will normally be via Australia Post Pack and track service which receives a tracking number. Please ensure NZ addresses are valid for NZ Post delivery, and note that customs clearance may delay your order, so we cannot guarantee a timeframe for delivery.
If your order is required in New Zealand in under two weeks, we recommend shipping with tracking.
Parcels normally reach the Auckland or Wellington regions within 5-7 business days, however other areas of New Zealand can take longer. Again, any delays at customs are out of our control, unfortunately. We will certainly pack and ship your order same or next business day, and email when shipment is sent.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
All International orders (except free New Zealand shipping) are shipped by Australia Post's Air Mail Pack and Track service (where available to your country).
Tracking will be provided for parcels thicker than 2cm. Tracking is not available to some countries. We are able to deliver to post office boxes and street addresses that are serviced by the postal service in your country.
Please note that certain products are not able to be shipped to international destinations due to international customs regulations. The product page will state this information if this is the case. Also, we are not able to ship to countries that pose a high risk of credit card fraud.
Most international orders arrive within two to three weeks, and often they arrive much sooner. In some cases delays at customs may delay the order. Unfortunately, any delay after we have shipped your order is totally out of our control for international orders.
The international shipping rates are weight-based. The weight of any item can be found on its product detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full 500g. Please feel free to contact us (shop@travelgear.com.au) if you feel the postage rates are not what you expected based on your products - sometimes the calculator gets it wrong!
Standard International delivery charges can be estimated from your shopping basket page before you proceed with the order.

Description
Description
The ZIP SIM USA mobile broadband data-only SIM card is ideal if you need data access on an Apple iPad, Wi-Fi dongle or other data-only device while making a short visit to the USA.
- Includes 2GB data (valid for 30 days)
- Unthrottled fast 4G LTE data
- Ideal for tablets & hotspots
- This SIM card lets you tether to multiple devices
- Self-activating service – plug and play
- Nationwide coverage throughout the USA
- 3-in-1 standard (mini)/micro/nano size SIM card – fits all devices
Self-activating service
The ZIP SIM is the easiest data SIM card for use in the USA. To activate your service you simply insert the SIM card in your device and it within 5–10 minutes it activates itself.
Plug and play. It just works.
In most cases it will even automatically configure the APN settings for you (although you may need to enter these details yourself with some devices).
Coverage on the T-Mobile network
The ZIP SIM USA mobile broadband SIM card gives you coverage on the T-Mobile network.
You will get fast data on T-Mobile's 4G LTE network if your device supports either LTE band 4 or LTE band 12; if your device does not support the LTE 4G band (but does support the 1900MHz 3G band) you will get data access on T-Mobile's HSDPA+ 3G network.
Most newer iPads will support LTE band 4, which will give you fast 4G data access in most large towns and cities across the United States of America. Apple iPads that support LTE band 4 include:
- Apple iPad Mini (model A1454)
- Apple iPad Mini 2 (model A1490)
- Apple iPad Mini 3 (model A1600)
- Apple iPad Mini 4 (model A1550)
- Apple iPad with Retina display (the 4th generation iPad) (model A1459)
- Apple iPad Air (model A1475)
- Apple iPad Air 2 (model A1567)
- Apple iPad Pro 9.7 inch (model A1674)
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9 inch (model A1652)
Some models of the iPad were produced with multiple variations, and not all of them support the 4G LTE network in the USA, so it is important to check the actual model number against this list to determine whether your iPad will work at full 4G LTE speed when in the USA.
For the best coverage and fastest data you really want an iPad that works on LTE band 12. T-Mobile has doubled their network coverage in the past year, but most of this extra coverage is only available if your device supports LTE band 12. There is only one iPad sold in Australia that supports this band: the Apple iPad Pro 9.7 inch (model A1674). If you have this iPad your data coverage will be around twice as extensive as most other people (particularly in rural areas) and your data will also be faster in big cities.
Extending your ZIP SIM mobile broadband service
If you're travelling for longer than the validity of your mobile data plan (or if you use your inclusive data allowance) you can extend your service by going to the ZIP SIM website and paying to extend your mobile broadband service. The costs to extend your ZIP SIM mobile service are:
500MB data (valid 14 days) – USD $15
1GB data (valid 14 days) – USD $25
2GB data (valid 30 days) – USD $40
You can extend your service as long as your ZIP SIM mobile broadband service is either currently active or if it has expired during the previous 72 hours. If your ZIP SIM service finished longer than 72 hours ago your SIM card will no longer be valid and you will need to buy a new one.
