Shipping Options
We strive to offer you the best shipping options, no matter where you live and have partnered with Australia Post for all domestic and international shipments given that they are the largest freight operator in Australia. We also utilise other couriers such as StarTrack and Couriers Please upon request for urgent next day deliveries when requested.
The time frame for order delivery is divided into two parts:
- Processing time (1-2 Business Days): Order verification, tailoring, quality check and packaging takes between 24 - 48 hours, excluding weekends to process. From there consignments are then sent out to our couriers to be picked up the following day. Please note, this time is in addition to the shipping time frame. During sale periods or state lockdown this may take slightly longer.
- Shipping time (3-7 Business Days): This refers to the time it takes for items to be shipped from our warehouse to all local destinations except rural areas (5-8 Business Days). As for international deliveries, this usually takes about 10+ business days via regular Air Postage. For more information on International delivery time estimates, refer to Australia Post's website here.
- Express Shipping (1-4 Business Days): The standard processing time typically applies, provided orders are placed by 12PM AEST (excluding weekends). Information for express international shipping is available upon request.
- StarTrack Express (ATL) (1-3 Business Days): The standard processing time typically applies, provided orders are placed by 11AM AEST (excluding weekends). Note that this option by default provides the driver with the authority to leave parcels at your delivery address if no one is around to receive them. Ensure that you add the insurance option during checkout process if you prefer to receive the parcel in person.
- Click & Collect is available for customers within Victoria. To opt for this, place your order as per normal and select 'Contactless Pick Up' during checkout. Once your order is ready for collection, we will notify you by email. Note, there is generally a 24 hour turnaround time for these orders to be fulfilled.
