All items are shipped from Sydney via Australia Post or courier. To prevent transport damage, everything is professionally packed in bubble wrap, peanuts or foam and sent in sturdy boxes. We re-use packaging material where possible to save cost and help the environment. Please understand that most packaging material is not free - we have to account for this when quoting delivery charges. Please see the auction pages for delivery options - extra charges may apply for customers in Western Australia, Tasmania or the Northern Territories. Please inquire before bidding if you are unsure.
Due to security concerns, we cannot permit personal pickup of items from our warehouse.
International bidders welcome
Please check the very bottom of the auction page for postage options or inquire via email. Australia Post offers courier, airmail and sea freight options at competitive rates.
The delivery charge covers packaging material, the actual transport cost, insurance and labour. All items over AUD $60 value will be insured. Delivery of goods is our responsibility, transport damage or loss our risk - because of this you cannot opt out of the insurance to reduce the delivery charge. Express Post is available on request - please note that all Express shipments are at your risk due to the fact that we cannot insure Express Post parcels.
Damaged Parcels
If a parcel arrives damaged in any way, please get in contact with us immediately. Please document the damage by taking a photo before opening the parcel and ideally get a statement in writing from the carrier confirming the fact that the parcel was damaged during transport. This is in your own interest when making a claim with the carrier. All damage claims must be initiated by the addressee with the carrier - we will gladly assist you with it.
Lost Parcels
If your parcel fails to turn up after a reasonable amount of time (delivery time estimates are given once the parcel was dispatched), please get in contact with us. We will then lodge an investigation with the carrier. In most cases, parcels are simply delayed. If the investigation turns out that the parcel was indeed lost, you will receive a full refund.
Please keep in mind that delivery to rural areas usually takes longer. International delivery via sea freight can take very long; customs inspections in your country may also add delay. Generally many parcels are delayed over the Christmas period.
Customs
Parcels may be inspected by customs once they arrive at the destination country. Whether a parcel will be inspected or not (and possibly incur import taxes) is entirely out of our control. Please check the customs web page of your country to determine if import taxes apply. Each parcel that leaves Australia has a customs label on it showing the actual item value. Please check our Customs Declarations policy.
