FAQs

Shipping

When will the item ship? I paid for express.

Paying express does not mean faster processing for your order; however, it considerably reduces the time it takes for the parcel to reach you via post once it is marked as shipped.

Your order is divided into Handling time and shipping time.

Handling time is how long it takes us to prepare your order.

Once the parcel is handed over to Post, the amount of time it takes them to deliver is the Shipping time. Express post plays a role here as it means they are transferred through the air and not road or rail network. If you have a request for your parcel to arrive by a particular date, please let us know, and we will try our best, but we will not guarantee that it will reach you on time. It is best to order in advance and plan accordingly.

It is in our best interest to process your order ASAP!

I need to change my Shipping address; how do I proceed?

Customers who pay via PayPal have the address filled out automatically. Sometimes, it could be your old address that you forgot to change. We can change your address if we get a written request from the same email address the order was placed. Please send all requests to [email protected] as soon as you know this or call/message/WhatsApp us on +61 416 399 905. Once the order is shipped out, we cannot do anything. If you have an account with us, we offer editing your Shipping, billing, email and phone number via my account section. If you do change your delivery address, we will notify you if there is any change in shipping cost.

Which shipping service do you use?

We use 4-5 different couriers and all of them will quote you on the checkout screen. We allow you to get a estimate of shipping cost on the cart page, without you having to go to checkout page and enter all your details before you see the shipping cost.
