HOW WILL MY ORDER BE DELIVERED?

Parcels are sent via courier, so we are unable to deliver to PO boxes. If there is nobody present to sign, the package will be taken back to the courier depot and a card will be left with a number for you to contact to arrange one free redelivery.

You can also provide the courier with "authority to leave the parcel". This means that no signature is required and the courier can leave the parcel at your door or where specified. This also means that you take full responsibility for the safety of the merchandise once it is left by the courier. You can enter "authority to leave" into the customer comments box when you place your order and checkout.

If you have a small parcel, it may be more convenient to have it delivered to your work address. 

It is the customer's responsibility to provide the correct delivery address, and an address which is accessible by the courier. If an incorrect address or non-accessible address is supplied, the customer will be required to pay for the redelivery cost.

HOW MUCH DOES DELIVERY COST?

Delivery is calculated at the checkout and is specific to each item, as we have many products in various weights, sizes and levels of fragility. You can view the cost of delivery by checking your shopping cart - this will calculate the price when you enter your state and postcode.

RETURNING ITEMS

If you would like to return an item, you can exchange it for another item or receive store credit. We only issue refunds if a product is found to be faulty. 

HOW DO I RETURN SOMETHING?

To make a return, you must contact customer care within 7 days of receipt of the merchandise to receive a return authorisation. The item must then be received back within 10 days after that. It will be the customer's responsibility to send the item back, however if the item is large or particularly fragile, we can arrange for you to use our courier service. Provided the item arrives in the original condition, unused and in the original packaging, we will provide you with a store credit (less any courier costs) or item for exchange.
