βš–οΈ Parcel Weight Limits (Tier 2 Only)

For Tier 2 customers, free shipping applies only when parcels weigh 5kg or less. Orders over 5kg are not eligible for free shipping β€” shipping will be calculated at checkout based on weight and destination.
This limit does not apply to Tier 1. Tier 3 always uses courier-based pricing.



πŸš› Courier Services & Oversize Parcels

We primarily use Australia Post, and may partner with other trusted couriers like Aramex or Sendle for efficiency. If your parcel exceeds standard courier weight/volume, we’ll calculate shipping live at checkout using real-time courier rates.



⏳ Pre-Order Shipping

When your order contains pre-order items, you can choose from two shipping options:

1. Ship Together – FREE

All items (in-stock + pre-order) ship together once the pre-order items arrive.
βœ… No extra shipping fee for pre-order products under this option.

2. Ship Separately

In-stock items ship now, pre-orders later.
  • Pre-order shipping is calculated separately
  • If the pre-order items meet the free shipping threshold in your region (e.g., $59 or $79), shipping is free
  • If not, a fee applies β€” see table above
  • Some remote areas are excluded from free shipping β€” see Tier 3
πŸ•’ Pre-order delivery time:
  • Metro: up to 15 business days
  • Regional/Remote: 15–30 business days



πŸ•’ Processing & Estimated Delivery

  • Processing time: 2–5 business days (up to 7–10 during sales or holidays)
  • Delivery time after dispatch:
    • Metro: 2–5 business days
    • Regional/Remote: 5–10 business days



πŸ“¦ Tracking & Delivery Info

  • You’ll receive an email with tracking once your parcel ships
  • Most deliveries don’t require a signature
  • If no one’s home, the courier may:
    • Leave your parcel in a safe spot
    • Leave a card for pickup or redelivery
