Frequently Asked Questions

Browse our range of frequently asked questions below or Contact us if you can't find the answers you're looking for.

Will COVID-19 affect my order?

No, we're fully operational and shipping out kids cars, as usual, following safe practices. See more info here.

My number plates didn't arrive with my ride on

Accessories such as number personalized number plates are shipped out within 1-3 business days and will arrive separately from other order items, so don't stress if they are not in the box with your ride on--they're coming. 

Once shipped out, it may take 2-10 business days to arrive. 

What surfaces can electric ride-on cars be used on?

Kids electric ride-ons work great on tiles, concrete, decking, asphalt and most hard and flat surfaces. They are generally not suitable to use on surfaces like mud, thick grass, steep slopes and sand unless specified. We also discourage pushing the car manually. This forces too much load on the car which may lead to burning the motor & damage.

Where is Kids Car Sales located?

We do not have a showroom. Our business is based in Victoria. Some products are shipped from our primary warehouse in Mulgrave, Victoria. However, most products ship from our partner warehouses across Australia.

Do you have a showroom to see and test the ride-on in person?

Unfortunately, we don't have a showroom with ride-on cars on display, sorry. All items are available for purchase online and are shipped directly from our warehouse or from our partner warehouses directly to our customers Australia wide. If you are within close proximity of any of our partner warehouses, we can arrange for you to pick up the goods by appointment. 

How do I get a shipping estimate?

Once you’ve found the product you would like to purchase, click Add to cart. From there you’ll be taken to your cart page where you can see the shipping calculator. Select your state and add postcode then click “Calculate Shipping”. The rate will be calculated for everything in the cart.

How soon will my order leave your warehouse?

We pride ourselves on giving you the best possible service. So, we work hard to get your order shipped out within 1-3 business days. As soon as your product is shipped, we send you an email with tracking details so you can login and see when your product is due to arrive.

Yes! Some items may be available for pick up. Contact our team at 1300 79 42 40 or hello@kidscarsales.com.au to find out if there is a warehouse near you that offers pickup. All pickups are by appointment only.

How are heavy and bulky goods going to be delivered?

If your order is 30kg or more, a tail lift service will be required at a cost. This makes it easier for the delivery crew to complete their job efficiently and reduce the risk of injury or damage to the goods. The tail lift charge is not included in the calculated shipping on this website and needs to be added to the total if the service is required. Please contact us if you are unsure whether this service will be required for your order.
