You can request insurance for your purchase against loss, theft or damage in transit .

Insurance is available as an option on our on-line shopping facility. It is your responsibilty to request insurance when placing telephone orders.

Historically, the loss of goods within Australia is less than a few points of 1%. But if you do not want to take the risk then ask for insurance.

We do not email you when we dispatch your goods, so if you feel that your order is taking longer than you expected please phone or email us with your order number.

Shipping Charges
Our website uses the Australia Post online calculator to calculate the correct postage of your order. In some cases this may be incorrect and an adjustment is made. If it has been over quoted we apply the reduction without notice. If it is under quoted we will contact you for confirmation of the new cost before processing the order.

Import Duties and Sales Tax
Charges imposed by the importing country are your responsibility. We advise you to contact your Customs department if you are concerned about these possible charges. Note that we mark the customs declaration as 'personal items not for resale'.

The Australian sales tax (GST) is deducted from the price of goods (not shipping) if the order originates from outside Australia.
