Every parcel that leaves our workshop and depot via Australia Post is appropriately wrapped and placed into Australia Post approved packaging. We have found Australia Post to be reliable and have not had any issues to date with goods being delivered in poor condition.
All goods dispatched via TNT or Interparcel or any other courier will be packaged according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and with the greatest care in mind.
Handling time: Due to staff capacity, and pending availability your order will be processed in 7-10 business days. Items such as tucker boxes, platters and lightshades are all made to order and may thus require a longer lead in time if not currently in stock.
