SHIPPING LOCATIONS
We ship Australia-wide (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, NT, WA, TAS, ACT) and to New Zealand.
We also ship to the USA, Canada, the UK, and Singapore.
ORDER PROCESSING & SHIPPING
All items are shipped with tracking, and you will receive a tracking email as soon as your order ships. If you create a profile with us, you will be able to log into your profile to view your order information and tracking once available at any time. Any orders received on weekends or holidays will be processed and dispatched during business hours (Monday-Friday).
In most cases, your order would be processed the same day (when ordered prior to 12 pm Sydney time on Mon-Fri) and would be shipped thereafter. Please note that once your order has been processed, we are unable to edit the order including changing the shipping address.
Please note: Orders placed on weekdays after 12 pm, weekends, or public holidays will be processed on the following business day.
To reduce unnecessary waste, we use recycled packaging whenever possible to send out your items. Some of this recycled packaging is sourced from local businesses including Woolworths.
DELIVERY VIA SHIPPING PARTNERS
Unless otherwise specified on the product page, items will normally ship the same day of receipt of your order (when the order is received prior to 12 pm). Please allow an extra working day for orders placed on weekends or holidays. Note that gift cards are sent via email.
If you live in Australia since your item has been shipped from Australia, your order should generally arrive between 5-7 business days, sometimes sooner. You can find details about delivery times on the Australia Post courier service website.

The local delivery option appears with Shop Pay (e.g. when a customer pays using his debit card), but not with other accelerated checkouts like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, PayPal etc. due to the restrictions placed by the website host/provider. When applicable, this option will automatically appear on the Checkout page along with the delivery fee.

If your parcel goes missing, you will be required to lodge a formal complaint as the owner of the parcel with Australia Post.
WHY IS MY ORDER BEING SHIPPED IN DIFFERENT PACKAGES?
If you have a multi-item order, each item may be shipped from our Australia warehouse, depending on which one has them available the fastest. Alternatively, if an item is popular and on a bit of a backorder, we might ship your items at different times, in different packages, to prevent holding up your order and to get it to you as fast as possible!
To reduce unnecessary waste, we use recycled packaging whenever possible to send out your items. Some of this recycled packaging is sourced from local businesses including Woolworths.
POSSIBLE DELAYS
We do our best to ensure the timely delivery of all orders, please bear in mind that we are only provided with an estimated delivery date from our carriers. On a rare occasion, your order can arrive outside of the estimated timeframe.
TRACKING YOUR ORDER
If your order has been sent via our shipping partner, then you can track your order via our shipping confirmation email.
