⏳ Pre-Order Shipping

If your order includes pre-order items, you’ll be able to choose one of two delivery methods at checkout:

1. Ship Together – FREE

Your in-stock and pre-order items will be shipped together once everything is ready.
βœ… No additional shipping fees for pre-order items under this option.

2. Ship Separately

In-stock items are shipped first. Pre-orders follow when they arrive.
  • Pre-order items will be shipped independently
  • If the pre-order subtotal qualifies for free shipping in your zone (Metro Zone = $59), they ship free
  • Otherwise, shipping will be calculated separately
πŸ“¦ Pre-order delivery timeframe:
  • Metro areas: up to 20 business days
  • Regional & remote areas: 20–30 business days



🌏 How Pre-Orders Are Delivered

Pre-order deliveries happen in two stages:
  1. International Shipping – Your item is shipped from our overseas warehouse to Australia. This is the longest part of the process. Because it's managed by our global logistics partners, tracking is not available during this stage.
  2. Domestic Delivery – Once your item arrives at our Australian warehouse, it will be dispatched promptly using local couriers. You’ll receive an email with a tracking number, so you can monitor your parcel right through to delivery.
