Our Shipping cut off dates are informed by Australia Post's advice and if we can get your orders on the road by these dates it means your parcels will have the best chance of arriving in time for Christmas Day.
Please note, we will still be processing and shipping orders after the above dates and Australia Post have advised they will still be delivering items as quickly as possible, but it will be difficult to get your orders to their destinations by Christmas Day.

We will process & post your order within 2 working days after payment has been cleared or let you know if a longer time period may be expected.
Unless otherwise agreed, we use standard Australia Post Parcel Post within Australia (all services include tracking), and Australia Post airmail for overseas purchases (tracking is available upon request)

Free Delivery for orders over $170 (standard delivery service, if express delivery is required please select at checkout)
