Shipping

We provide flat rate shipping of $11.95 and FREE shipping for orders over $220 - Australia Wide. This may exclude some bulky items. For our Melbourne customers, we sometimes offer free shipping above $99.

We currently use Australia Post for all orders unless the package is too large or heavy to be accepted. In that case we will ship through whichever shipping company will accept the package (usually aramex, shippit). Australia Post is our main shipping partner and we pay a premium price to be able to offer this to our customers. Some bulky items are not included in the free shipping threshold.

The majority of our orders are sent within 24 hours. We aim to send all orders out within two business days, although our dispatch times may increase during high sales periods including at Christmas and during sales. Please expect that delays can reach 7 days during these times for some orders. I'm a one woman team packing with my extra needs children at home. If we take a little longer, please be patient knowing I am working as hard and fast to get your order to you as quickly as I am able.

If you have an urgent enquiry, I can be contacted on my mobile at 0439 642 136 via text message or call. Please note that I work around my home educated extra needs children. They are autistic, high needs and noisy.

Please ensure your address is correct at checkout as we are not responsible for packages sent to incorrectly entered addresses. We will ship to the address on the order placed on our website. 

When your order is complete you will be sent an email containing your order information and tracking details. If you do not receive this, feel free to contact us so they can be resent to you.
