DELIVERY/SHIPPING to AUSTRALIA

Trans-Tasman air freight capacity has normalised, but please continue to allow extra days for the published delivery times below. There may also be delivery delays within Australia influenced by local conditions CLICK HERE for updates on any delivery delays within Australia.  The situation changes frequently and we thank you for your patience, your understanding and your support!
 
We contract New Zealand Post to send your order by insured airmail (Australia Post eParcel) a tracked service.
  • "eParcel Australia" is an Australia Post service whereby New Zealand Post directly accesses the Australia Post delivery network via Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
    • It bypasses sorting procedures applied to mail upon entry to Australia which can sometimes cause delays.
    • After order despatch from Nelson, New Zealand, you will be sent automatically an email with your tracking code and a link to the New Zealand Post Track and Trace service.
    • This tracking code can also be used on the Australia Post Track and Trace service and should offer more information within Australia.
    • Despatch emails are also sent, on our behalf, by New Zealand Post from noreply@notification.starshipit.com
    • "business days" = Monday to Friday excluding NZ and Australia Public holidays.
  • At checkout, the following four options will be offered. Rates are a direct function of the weight of the items in your order.
  • Standard | Normally, allow approx. 4-8 business days after despatch from our premises for order delivery.
  • Express | Normally, allow approx. 2-5 business days after despatch from our premises for order delivery.
    • Please correctly enter your delivery address and your email address when ordering, and also to check your junk mail or spam folder!
