Shipping policy

What methods of shipping do we use?

For orders dispatched from/within Australia, we use the services of, Border Express, Australia Post Registered & Express, Go Sydney, and local couriers for Sydney Metro deliveries.

For international orders, we use the services of DHL/UPS. Please note that International Orders require longer processing times and may take up to 1-2 days to ship if the item is in stock.

The main reasons for using professional couriers are quick prompt deliveries and each parcel is traceable with its own tracking ID. Most of the above-mentioned companies have an online tracking system in which you can monitor the progress of your delivery with the chosen logistics company.

Orders that are sent via regular post such as the services with Australia post will take longer and generally do require to be registered which means id sighting and signature is required upon receiving of the item to be more safe and secured. Items that are sent via normal post are highly recommended to be insured if the items are valued over $100.00. In some cases however products maybe dispatched directly from suppliers to our customers to shorten the turnaround time of orders. In these cases, the shipping method used will be that of the supplier, usually Express Post, Road Express or via Couriers either chosen by you or the supplier.

What are the costs of shipping?

The cost of shipping varies depending on each order and is calculated on weight, dimensions, destinations, method of requested delivery on each order. The calculations we use are based on delivery services that you chose (pickups from our store is also available).
