Shipping and Returns

Deliveries
We send the majority of all orders with Australia Post - eParcel, Express eParcel and also use Couriers Please and Fastway. All parcels are sent with a tracking number.  The option of a Courier for delivery is impacted by the delivery schedule of Couriers and in some cases may not be faster than Australia Post.  Where possible we will send with the quickest possible freight option.

Couriers Please - Melbourne and Suburbs
We can send orders with Couriers Please to all Melbourne Suburbs and this can be arranged with us - If sending to a Private house you must be there to collect.

Pick-Up from 
You can also pick-up from the factory in Braeside. Please place your order online and choose the pickup option. Pick-Up orders can only be collected - Monday to Friday 8.30am - 4.00pm (Excluding Public Holidays). We will email the collection address once you place your order and please give us at least an hour to pick your order. If using PayPal for the collection Don't Use the first Check Out with PayPal button there is a second PayPal link further in.

Shipping
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.

When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.

From time to time we also may have to adjust your shipping price up or down as every item is not a standard size. We will make you well aware of these adjustments before we finalise order.
