Standard Airmail - International Delivery– FREE on Orders Over $300 AUD

We ship worldwide using Australia Post’s standard airmail service.

Domestic (Australia):3–5 business days from dispatch

International: 10-14 business days from dispatch

Processing Time: Please usually allow 3–5 business days (AEST) for order processing and preparation before dispatch. This can become 3 - 10 days during busy times before you will receive a tracking number. You will recieve an email during busy times to inform you of this delay.

Tracking: Australia Post tracking is provided after dispatch with free shipping.

Note on Free Postage via Australia Post:

This option offers great value but has limitations. Australia Post normally takes 10–14 working days (excluding any customs holds) to deliver once dispatched.

You will receive your tracking number 3–5 business days after purchase, once your package has left our facility.

What you see in the tracking portal is the same information we can access. We do not provide updates beyond the carrier’s online system.

After your item leaves Australia, you’re welcome to contact your local postal carrier directly for more current updates.

If there’s no movement on the tracking for 30 days from dispatch, only then can we lodge a formal inquiry with Australia Post. Any earlier inquiries will receive this same summary.

For faster delivery and more detailed tracking, please choose paid Express Upgrade (with optional insurance).
