Shipping Policy

Turnaround

All orders are dispatched within 48 hours of receiving your order during business hours of Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. 

Carriers

We use Australia Post to deliver our orders so please allow up to 5 working days for delivery. Should you require your order quickly, please contact the office as we can accommodate requests to use a courier, at your cost. 

Order Tracking

By default, items are sent without tracking and sent in good faith by Australian Post’s standard postal service. In some cases we may elect to use Registered post (if an item’s value is considerable). If extra tracking is required please contact us.

Shipping Rates

The rate charged for the shipping of your order is based on the weight of the order.  Before the final checkout page you will be shown what the cost of shipping will be, here you are given the option to proceed with the order or to cancel it. If you prefer to pick up items  please phone prior to arrange for a time. 

Back Orders 

If an item goes on back order, we will let you know and ship the part of your order that is in stock. When the outstanding item becomes available we will let you know and ship you the rest of your order. You will not be charged any additional shipping and handling for the second shipment.
