In the unlikely event your order has not arrived within the above guidelines, then please contact us immediately by email with your order number and we will follow up with the courier or Australia Post to see where your order is hiding!

DAMAGED OR MISSING ITEMS

Whilst we take great care to ensure you receive your goods quickly and in good condition, we cannot guarantee how well the couriers or Australia Post will handle the parcels whilst in transit. For parcels that have fragile items, we do package them to minimise damage and also mark the boxes/packages as FRAGILE.

In the event your item/s are damaged upon arrival please contact us immediately by email including a photograph of the damaged goods whilst still in the box they were sent in.  A photograph of the outside of the damaged parcel would also be advisable that way we can forward the images to the delivery contactor for investigation.  Should you believe your parcel is missing, please contact us immediately if the goods have not been delivered within the estimated delivery times above.  We will commence an investigation with the delivery contractor to commence locating your parcel for you.

WHAT IF I'M NOT HOME TO TAKE DELIVERY?

Whilst we cannot guaratee a day or time the courier or Australia Post will deliver your parcel, you can provide an "ATL" (Authority to Leave) the goods in a safe & nominated location on your premises if you think you will not be home at the time of delivery.  Whilst many customers utilise this option, we do not recommend the ATL if you're going to be out for a lengthy period of time or if your parcel can be damaged from the weather or seen from the street.   Once you provide an ATL you take full responsibility for those goods and a claim for lost, damaged or stolen goods will not be accepted.  PLEASE NOTE:  Due to COVID-19, our shipping partners are automatically claiming "ATL" if no one is home, they will leave your parcel in a safe place if it is safe to do so, otherwise card to the closest Post Office, or arrange Re-Delivery Card will be left behind.

You can also choose to have your order delivered to your workplace or an alternative address where someone is available to take delivery of your parcel.  

If you are not at home at time of delivery, generally there will be a calling card left in your mailbox.   Australia Post parcels get re-directed generally to the local Post Office.  All details are generally located on the Calling Card, including our Courier partners.
