17 SHIPPING POLICY INFORMATION

Our Free Shipping policy for orders over $49 applies to over 5000 postcodes within Australia and also depends on the type and weight of item to be shipped. The good news is that it covers all metro areas and most regional centres. When the postcode you want your item shipped to lies out of range or the product is too bulky or heavy for a courier the cost of the consignment will depend on the postcode that the item is going to and the weight of the item.

We always endeavour to keep the costs of shipping down, so we can pass these savings onto our customers.

In-stock items ordered before 12pm weekdays will be shipped on the same day. Orders after 12pm weekdays will be dispatched within 24 hours. Orders made on the weekend will be shipped on Monday excluding public holidays
