SHIPPING INFORMATION
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ONLY
We are located in Australia ("The Land Down Under") and a LONG way from most other countries. This means that shipping is quite costly but can be made most cost effective when these things are kept in mind ...
SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!
Most international shipments are costed on weight ONLY, not the size of the package being sent
SHIPPING COSTS ARE ALWAYS MOST EXPENSIVE FOR LIGHT ITEMS
Think of the initial shipping cost as a "fixed fee" set by the shipping company (usually Australia Post) which means that very light items are expensive to send but as the weight increases, the overall costs go down.
EXAMPLE: Shipping to USA
(These prices are current as at 1st April 2023 but should be taken as a guide ONLY - shipping costs keep increasing frequently!)
An item that weighs just 100 grams would cost A$19.95 to send
Add more items so that the weight is 240 grams and the cost remains the SAME at $19.95
Now let's just say you go a bit "crazy" and add quite a few more items so that the shipping weight is 1 Kilogram (10 times heavier than the original package) - the shipping cost increases to just A$38.40
So you can see that although the weight has substantially increased (10 times over the original weight), the cost of shipping has only doubled
It continues in this fashion for heavier weights.
I would encourage anyone internationally who is curious about "how much would that cost to ship to me?" to go to my checkout area and "play around" with various items being added or taken away and seeing what the effect is on the shipping costs.
I see a LOT of clients who are effectively "wasting" their shipping charges by paying high prices when the weight allocation has not been completely taken advantage of.
Finally, ALL my shipping internationally includes tracking.
While it might take a while to receive items (at the moment it ranges from 10 days to 28 days delivery times - depending upon the country, wars, pandemics etc) it is always sensible to be able to track a package that has not shown up.
Thank you to all my Global clients and stay well!
