🎄 IMPORTANT: CHRISTMAS SHIPPING CUT-OFFS 🎄

Christmas is just around the corner meaning an increase in demand on postal services worldwide, so it's super important to be organised sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

While we'll continue to pack and dispatch your orders right up until 20th December, we are currently suggesting the following "last order" dates for the best chance of pre-Christmas delivery, so get your orders in before these dates if you want your gift under your Christmas tree:

• Metro Areas (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra) - 18/12/24
• Metro Areas (Perth, Hobart, Darwin) - 13/12/24
• Regional Areas (VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, ACT) - 13/12/24
• Regional Areas (WA, TAS, NT) - 6/12/24
• International (New Zealand): 16/12/24
• International (US, UK, CA): 13/12/24

Please note that these dates are guidelines only, and are indicative of "best chance" of pre-Christmas delivery. Unforeseeable delays and restrictions may pose further holdups for courier companies, so delivery dates cannot be guaranteed.
So in other words, don't leave it until the last minute. Don't say you weren't warned.

If you want to shop in person at our stores, we're open Monday to Saturday, so feel free to pop in to sort your last minute pressies!

Shipping matters to consider

• For Australia Post PO Boxes/private locker service, we can only send parcels up to 20 Kg. For larger parcels, please provide a physical address at check out. (Business preferred if available)
• Whilst our business will take the greatest care to pack and dispatch your goods. As many transport companies, they don’t accept any responsibility for good that might have been damaged or lost in transit. Where insurance is required please contact us prior to dispatch to process additional paid service.
• Large equipment or heavy items will be shipped mostly on a pallet. Where an item is oversized and will not fit on a standard 113cm pallet, the buyer will be given the option to pay for wood crate construction or customised packaging to ensure safe arrival (for example boards for stacking glass demijohns).
• Customers will be required to ensure their property can provide adequate road space for larger trucks to enter and exit, if they are requiring door to door delivery. Also, an authorised forklift operator is required to be available to unload pallet consignments.
• Transport companies will often charge extra fees if parcels on the pallet will need to be manually unloaded. If the customer fails to advise us of these special delivery details prior to dispatch, added charges may follow. Charge will apply on the basis of detention time use.
• Remote locations that require light aircraft or barge transport might attract longer delivery time and extra handling charges. In case that the website does not reflect the default carrier charge, we will contact you to proceed with the payment and delivery.
• If no one is home at the time of delivery, the delivery driver has the authority to leave the parcel at your doorstep.
• If you want to change your delivery address, please contact our friendly team to organise the delivery to a new address and pay for additional shipping costs.
• Where a forklift is not available at your site, you might request to collect your goods from the carriers nearest depot with your own trailer or vehicle.
