C. ORDERING 

1. Orders can be placed through our website using the shopping cart. 

2. The speed of our service is very important to us.  We process orders on the day of receipt and aim to ship in 1-2 days, although sometimes due to circumstances outside of our control dispatch times may be delayed.  You will be notified if any significant delays (over 5 days) are anticipated.

3. You are entitled to order as many or as few items as you require, however bulk orders can save you significant postage costs.  To understand how this works, please see the SHIPPING terms below.

D. PAYMENT 

1. All orders must be paid for prior to shipping.

2. We currently accept payment via PayPal and credit card payments processed by Shopify.

E. SHIPPING

1. Australian customers, regular & express shipping is typically done via Australia Post. However, occasionally Australia Post's booking service goes down & we need to find other postal carriers to complete orders. In addition, there may be circumstances where alternative postal carriers can deliver a better value service (eg they may be faster). In these circumstances the alternative postal carriers we may use are Couriers Please, Star Track & Fastway, amongst others.
2. Most carriers charge a fixed rate for shipping depending on weight and we can combine postage to save you a lot of money. When we ship by regular post packages typically arrive within a few days to a week. In peak periods they may be slower than this. Express shipping to metro locations is generally means you will receive your parcel the next business day, however occasionally it may take 2 (or for WA & Tasmania) sometimes 3 business days or more. We provide tracking numbers with orders so you can track your shipments online.
3. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
4. All Australian deliveries are handled by Australia Post eParcel with tracking available.

2. We don't accept liability for any loss or damage arising after delivery, including lost, stolen, or damaged items.
3. For added security, ensure someone is available to sign for delivery or consider shipping to a work address during business hours.
