Shipping & Returns

All Australian standard post orders are shipped complimentary with our carbon neutral shipping partners Sendle & Australia Post. All items are hand packed with recycled or recyclable materials & tracking numbers are provided with every order.

We can deliver to your home address, business address, parcel lockers and PO Boxes. Standard post delivery times are approximately 2-7 business days from the time of order. Need it faster? We offer flat rate Express Post of $15.

Please note that most scented, coloured and larger Bust pieces are made to order, so please allow 2-3 days for a shipping confirmation on these items.

We ship internationally via Australia Post. The shipping fee will automatically be calculated once your shipping address is submitted during the checkout process.

International Taxes may be payable at port of delivery.

Please be aware that international packages may be subject to delays, additional customs duties or taxes at the port of entry. We do not take responsibility for any delays or extra fees which may be applied upon arrival in the receiving country.

If you have received a Shipping Confirmation email, but have not received your order within the estimated time frame, please check if your order was sent via Australia Post or Sendle. (This information will be on your shipping confirmation). If it is with Sendle, please contact sendle.com.au, quote your tracking number and open a ‘missing parcel’ claim. If sent with Australia Post, please contact your local branch with your tracking number to submit a missing parcel complaint.
