HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SHIP TO MY CUSTOMERS?
We currently cater to orders that require delivery within Australia only. All orders are generally shipped from our distribution centres located in Melbourne, within 2-3 days of receiving payment.
The estimated delivery time frames are:
- For customers in VIC, approximately 8 - 13 working days
- For customers in NSW, SA, and ACT, approximately 10 - 15 working days
- For customers in QLD, NT, WA and TAS, approximately 12 - 19 working days.
NOTE:
Delivery time only starts after buyers’ payments have been cleared, and the item has been dispatched from our warehouse (usually 1 -2 working days after receipt of cleared payment).
Our delivery partners and ourselves cannot guarantee a delivery on any specific dates or times as this is not something under our control.
Due to ongoing COVID restrictions placed in different states and natural disasters from time to time, delivery time frames can be affected. Your patience in such circumstances would be highly appreciated.
We partner with multiple couriers to provide the most efficient delivery services at a reasonable price.
