Postage

Postal options offered in our online shopping process are only for delivery within Australia.  Orders are usually sent via Australia Post, using their parcel satchels – either regular or express satchels.  Australia Post prices are set by the carrier according to the size of the satchel and we don’t add anything to their prices.

Once posted by us, your Australia Post regular parcel should arrive in 2 to 5 workings days (Queensland and major cities – other areas may take up to a week or more depending on Australia Post).  These delivery time frames are an indication only as provided by Australia Post and we cannot guarantee them.  Express Post parcels will arrive the next Business Day provided you are in the express post network – we are posting in Brisbane Metro area.  For more detail on delivery standards please refer to Australia Post.

For urgent orders, we suggest you choose express post satchels.  Please check Australia Post to see if your area is covered by Express Postal services.
