Frequently Asked Questions

Postage - How come the postage is so expensive?                                                     

I know postage costs have jumped in price in the last few years. This is something we have no control over. Australia Post sets their own postage rates based on the weight of the parcels being sent. These are in our shipping. Over the years we have tried a few different services and for a number of reasons Australia Post is our preferred service. The parcel is tracked which is sent to you on shipping so you can see its location in real time. The best way to make the postage work for you is to buy more then one item, or get together with friends and family and purchase together.
