Melbourne Cup 2026

Melbourne Cup long weekend

We're closed Sat 31 Oct – Tue 3 Nov, and our freight and courier partners are taking a break too. Our online store stays open 24/7, so you can place your order at any time.

Dispatch resumes Wed 4 Nov

Your order over the long weekend

Order any time. Here's when it ships.

Before Fri 30 Oct

Order before the break

Orders placed before the break may even be dispatched before Friday's cut-off, so ordering sooner could make all the difference.

Sat 31 Oct – Tue 3 Nov

We're closed

Our team, and our freight and courier partners, are taking a break over the long weekend. You can still order online.

Wed 4 Nov

Dispatch resumes

Dispatch is scheduled to start again, working through the orders placed over the long weekend.

Thinking of shopping around for a faster delivery? Here's why you may not need to! At Bar Fridges Australia, we supply not only our retail customers but also the resellers and dropshippers who sell these products across Australia. They do a great job, but it means shopping with another retailer may not get your bar fridge to you any sooner — we dispatch for resellers too!

Last day for dispatch

Regional and remote addresses can take a few extra days, so please order earlier if you're outside a capital city.

These dates are our best guide, based on our carriers' recommended cut-offs, and can't be guaranteed. Once it leaves us at BFA, it's out of our control.

Our Christmas break

Our store stays open the whole time, so you can keep shopping.

  1. Mon 21 Dec

    Last dispatch for 2026

    Our last dispatch day before Christmas.

  2. Wed 23 Dec – Tue 5 Jan

    Skeleton staff

    Store open

    We'll have a small team working through this period. Depending on the volume of orders, your order may be packed and sent during this time.

  3. Wed 6 Jan

    Full dispatch is back

    Full-scale dispatch starts up again. Depending on the volume of orders, it may take a little longer in early January while everyone returns from their own breaks.

Ordered after the cut-off?

No problem. You can still order any time. We'll send it as soon as we can, but it may arrive after Christmas Day.
