We offer different methods of shipping to suit your budget.
Customers in Australia
For shipping to delivery addresses
within Australia, we offer two options; Regular or Fast. Charges
are based on weight, size and location.
Regular shipments are sent via Australia Post Parcel
Post.
The Fast method uses Australia Post Express Post.
In whichever
case, the customer will be responsible for the cost of shipping
and/or handling.
Orders cannot be shipped to a Post Office Box.
International Customers
We ship our Products to anywhere
in the world. For International delivery addresses, we also offer
two basic alternatives: Regular or Fast. Regular Shipments are sent
via Australia Post Airmail. The faster method uses Australia
Post's EMS International Courier Service. Charges are based on

Orders from International customers cannot be shipped to a Post Office Box or similar address. International Customers should be aware and are responsible for the following:
- any import
requirements or restrictions, licences, duties, taxes and/or government
charges that may apply to the Products in your country; and
- any additional freight, postal or other charges that may be imposed over and above what would normally be incurred (For example, Redelivery charges (if any) if no one is available at the delivery address to accept the Products when first delivered).
Handling of Orders
Orders are usually despatched within
10 days of receipt of confirmation of payment of your order. From
time to time some Products may run out of stock. If one or more
items are delayed (due to no stock) for more than 10 business days
from when you place your order, we will contact you via email
asking you for instructions on how we should proceed with your
order. It may take up to 30 days or more for some items not in
stock to arrive, depending on when we placed our order with our
suppliers and depending on our supplier having the item in stock.
Under such circumstances, we can ship the "in stock" items
(if any) to you first and the balance when it arrives in stock.

Lost in transit goods cannot be replaced
until an investigation has been completed by Australia Post or
the courier service used to deliver those goods.
