Shipping & Delivery
 
How much is postage?
We charge a flat rate of $9.99 within Australia.

International shipping
We ship some of our items worldwide.
Please note that the shipping costs to each country vary & we will contact you after purchase to organise shipping cost, and that all import duties, taxes & charges are unable to be included in the item and are therefore the buyer’s responsibility.
 
How long will my order take to arrive?
We use couriers dependant on location. Delivery is normally within 1 – 5 business days. During holiday periods orders may be delayed slightly by a day to a couple of days.
 
Can I have my order Express Posted?
You can send us a message at checkout to see if express post is available for your order. If we send express post, this includes Saturday delivery but this does not guarantee next day delivery. Unfortunately, we can not refund the postage cost to you if delivery does not occur next day although most of our parcels do arrive next day when using next day delivery service.

Can I request my parcel be left unattended?
Our couriers require you to sign for your delivery by default. However, if you would prefer to have your package left in a safe place you can place a note on the checkout page and write  ATL (Authority To Leave). You can also add additional delivery instructions or note where you would prefer your parcel to be left and this message will be relayed to the courier.
Any packages which are requested ATL can not be replaced if they go missing, so this option is made at your own risk.

I entered the wrong delivery address
Please contact us by email or contact form as soon as possible. If we can, we will endeavour to change the delivery address. If your parcel has already been despatched by our despatch team we won’t be able to change it. We require signature on all of our parcels so it should be returned to depot and there will be the $9.99 fee to have the items re-sent to your correct address.

Return to sender fee & re-postage fee
As part of our service, we will happily cover the cost of the return to sender fee, however, the cost to have the package resent will be $9.99.

My package seems to be lost or stuck ‘in transit’?
If your package is showing ‘in transit’ for over a week, please let us know so we can chase and lodge an investigation with the courier.
If the package is delayed because of an incorrect or incomplete address, the item will likely be returned to us. To have this package resent to the correct address, there will be a $9.99 postage fee.

I requested ‘Authority to Leave’ but my delivery was not left.
Even if you give ‘Authority to Leave’ by ticking the box at checkout the courier makes the final decision of whether to leave the parcel. If you have requested ‘ATL’ and your parcel has not been left please contact the courier or local post office to discuss this.
 
Combining orders & refund shipping
If you contact us as soon as possible, we will endeavour to change your order for you if your parcel has not left the warehouse. However, once an order has been processed through our system, we will be unable to make any changes or provide shipping refunds.


Orders

When will my order get despatched?
When you place and pay for your order you should receive an email confirmation within 10 to 30 minutes.
 
Can I change my order?
As we despatch our packages the same day we unfortunately can’t add or change your order after it has been submitted. All orders are sent to despatch and packed after they are placed to make sure the parcel arrives with you as soon as possible. If you change your mind on a purchase you can return the goods within 7 days however, we can not pay for your return postage costs.

I forgot to add my discount code!
We can not apply discount codes after orders have been placed and processed. Please contact us so we can see if we can give you another code to use on your next order with us.

Out of stock
We order stock frequently, so if there is any delay in the return of any stock it is most likely that the supplier is also out of stock. We will be back in stock as soon as the product is available to us. If the item is available from another merchant it could be old stock, as such we would advise waiting for it to return to stock on out site, or emailing us to see if we know how long the wait will be.
