Delivery times
We aim to fulfill and dispatch all orders in stock within 1-3 working days. Once we’ve sent the order, the delivery time will depend on the destination and any external circumstances. We send all our parcels through Australia Post. Please visit their website to find out their estimated delivery times.
Ordered items with 0 stock
Items on order are available at the distributor. As soon as we receive an order we make a request to the distributor to provide the item. This usually takes 2 – 3 business days. When we recieve the item we will send it to you immediately. Please allow for 7 – 10 working days for ordered items with 0 stock.
If the item is not available at the distributor – or if it will take longer than usual, we will contact you and issue a refund on request.
