Shipping & Delivery Information

As the COVID-19 situation is continually changing we advise you to refer to our delivery partner's updates, Australia Post, on both domestic and international postage here: https://auspost.com.au/about-us/news-media/important-updates/coronavirus/coronavirus-international-updates

Please note: that Australia Post is currently experiencing delivery delays at this time. 
We do need to advise that there are some impacts to our Express and International post services. EXPRESS post service will continue to be the fastest postal delivery option for our customers and as per the advice of Australia Post they will continue to prioritise these deliveries. However Express may not be delivered next business day every time. For INTERNATIONAL post service there may be delays due to flight cancellations and government restrictions brought about by COVID-19. Don’t worry though! We are working with our partners to move as quickly as possible!
