About Australia wide Deliveries:
All our products are shipped from our facilities in NSW, Australia.
- We use a range of carriers, depending on your location and date of order (mainly Australia Post, Couriers Please and Aramex).
- Australia Post Delivery Attempts: Australia Post will make a single attempt to deliver your parcel. In the event that you are not available to receive it, and the delivery attempt is unsuccessful, your parcel will be transported to your local Post Office. Please note, the specific Post Office location where your parcel can be collected will be detailed in the tracking history available online.
- Aramex and Couriers Please - Authority to Leave: Aramex and Couriers Please are authorised to leave parcels at your premises in the event that no one is available to receive them at the time of delivery. Our couriers will endeavor to leave your parcel in a secure and discreet location (such as a lobby, veranda, or beside the main entrance) to ensure privacy and security. The location chosen will be out of sight to ensure the safety of your item. In the rare circumstance where a secure location cannot be identified, your parcel will be taken to the nearest depot or collection point. You will then be responsible for collecting the parcel from this location.
