There are two ways.
You will first get an indication of the shipping price within the product descriptions by looking at the "Shipping" tab.
Generally we consider these items to be;
This will be clearly indicated to you within the "shipping" tab of each product description.
Shipping large items can be costly, this is mainly due to mainstream shipping and courier companies either not accepting these items or charging a large premium.
Generally we find most items that are over 8kg also above $150 price point, rather than passing on the full postage cost we simply charge a flat rate to recover some of the expense incurred.
Most courier companies will not deliver to a PO Box or they will charge a premium, so unfortunately we are unable to accept orders with a PO Box as the delivery address.
However we do realise some customers are in remote parts of Australia so if this is important to you, please contact us for a shipping quote here
80% of orders are shipped via Australia post, however in some instances depending on the item or location we will use our alternative courier services such as;
Generally all orders are delivered within 2-10 business days, but in some instances it can take up to 12 days to arrive.
We have 4 warehouses worldwide in the following locations
The location and the estimated shipping time frame will be clearly described in the "Shipping" tab within the product description.
When Australia post is delivering an item and you are not home you will receive a card to go and collect your order from the post office.
If one of our other delivery partners are delivering the item they will have "Authority to Leave" (ATL) unless it is a high value item and in that case you may need to attend a depot to collect the order.
If you have had a history of mail or packages going missing, please let us know in the "Order Comments" so we can ensure that ATL is not given to our couriers.
In the first instance you should check your tracking number provided in you shipping confirmation to see if your order is already in transit.
Secondly you should re-check the product description to see if the delivery time frame has passed.
Lastly you can always make contact with us and we will gladly follow it up and we will investigate it.
From time to time we may have promotions or discounts on shipping cost's, generally free shipping applies to our 'Flat Rate' shipping option and is rarely available for our 'Bulky Goods' delivery services due to the cost involved.
When a free shipping promotion is offered it will clearly indicate which shipping is being discounted, Free shipping promotions may also exclude certain items.
Excluded products will be highlighted on product pages, within the "Shipping" tab on each product description.
