We provide various shipping options, including Standard Envelope (No Tracking), Standard Parcels, and Express Post.

Standard Parcel & Express Post: These options offer tracking capabilities. Once your order is shipped, we will send you an email containing a tracking link, allowing you to monitor your package until it reaches your doorstep.

Standard Envelope:  This option is not trackable, and you will not receive a tracking link, but your order will be conveniently delivered to your letterbox. 
We partner with Australia Post to ensure the reliable delivery of your order. For international orders, Australia Post will initiate the journey and subsequently transfer the order to your local carrier. Should you opt for our trackable shipping option, you will have the ability to easily track the full journey of your order through the provided Australia Post link in your email or by using the same tracking number on the website of your local carrier after customs clearance.  

Please note that while tracking provides an overview and estimated arrival time, shipments may experience delays beyond our control.

Delivery transit times vary, and we assume no responsibility for delays caused by freight carriers, weather or any damages resulting from the failure to receive your order on time. Your order may arrive late due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, excessive demand, the breakdown of equipment, illness, etc. Target arrival dates are calculated by adding the production turnaround time to the delivery time. Both production and delivery times are based on business days only and do not include weekends or holidays. You acknowledge that we will not be liable to you for any special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage, loss of profit or opportunity, or damage to goodwill arising out of or in connection with the delivery services.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is the customer's responsibility to collect the order within 10 days of the attempted delivery date from the post office or collection point. Failure to do so may result in the return of the order to us, and an additional shipping fee to redeliver the goods will apply.

If you opted for a shipping method with tracking capabilities, it is your responsibility to contact the carrier provider to rectify the delivery address. Please note that changes to your delivery address post-dispatch are solely at the discretion of the carrier provider. If for any reason the carrier provider is unable to resolve the issue, and the parcel is subsequently lost, we cannot be held liable.

11. CONSUMER PROTECTION

This item covers the rights that you may have as a consumer of our products or services. Regardless of where you are located, this item is designed to only apply to the regions listed below or any other territories where we may decide, from time to time, to offer our products or services. The terms listed below are narrow in scope by design, and in case they are found unenforceable by any competent court in accordance with applicable law, you agree they will be interpreted in the manner most consistent with the intended language, to the extent permitted by law.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

US Consumers - Binding Arbitration

You are agreeing to give up any rights to litigate claims in a court or before a jury, and instead agree to submit your claim to an arbitration process. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also be unavailable or may be limited in arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive and equitable claims) between you and us arising from or relating in any way to your purchase of products or services through the site, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration. 

The arbitration will be administered by the Australian Disputes Centre (ADC).  The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or any term is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. 

The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. 

The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
