***************************

Shipping within Australia:

We ship your orders using the Australia Post eParcel service and charge the following for each service: 

  • Domestic Letter with Tracking: from $4.95 suitable for smaller items.
  • Standard eParcel: from $9.95
  • Express eParcel:  from $9.95
  • Express eParcel with Transit Cover: From $14.95

Domestic DL Letter with tracking has Scan on pickup and delivery only. 

All eParcel deliveries require a signature at time of delivery.

  • If you are not available at the time of delivery by Australia Post, from October 5 2023, Australia Post will send Digital Notifications to advise of an attempted delivery, instead of leaving a paper card. These notifications will let you know that Australia Post tried to deliver and the reason why it couldn't be completed, and when your parcel is ready for collection at the post office or a nearby collection point. These will be sent via email, SMS or through the AusPost app. If you use the app, you'll also get a one-off QR code specific to that parcel. 
  • Simply show the notification, the QR code (for app users) and suitable ID at the Post Office to collect your parcel. Your parcel will still be kept at the Post Office for 10 business days for you to collect, and we'll send you a reminder on day 5 if your parcel hasn't been collected.

If we have your parcel shipped by a courier, a signature is required and if you are not available to take delivery, a re-delivery fee may be charged.

N.B. If you have concerns with Australia Posts ability to deliver your order safely, only the Express eParcel with transit cover covers you for lost or damaged orders.
