Delivery Times & Charges
Most orders within Australia are sent via Australia Post, and estimated delivery time is 3-5 working days from receipt of the order (as per Australia Post posting guidelines).
If there are any problems with stock or expected delays or your order includes a special order item, I will contact you. Special order items, where indicated, are ordered from the supplier once an order has been received (and paid for) from you and therefore may experience slightly longer delays. Postal charges listed are an average cost of packages posted. Post code, weight and cubic measurements are all factors in the cost of an individual parcel postage. It is not always possible to calculate the exact charge and there is an occasion where additional postage may need to be 'purchased'.
Postage prices include suitable packaging for your chosen purchase, whether it be a posting satchel, a tough or padded bag or box. If I know I can post your item for less than you paid I will let you know. Most of my orders are sent in a pre-paid satchel and the postal charges are what the Post Office charge me for a bag. My prices are, for the most part, not inflated in anyway.

"Meet @ The Mall"
What's this option? Meet @ the Mall is me doing what I can to save you a freight charge. I have a schedule below telling you where I am and when, if that works in with your schedule then great, let's save you some freight and (try to) meet up!
I am happy to try to arrange a “Meet @ The Mall” and meet you to deliver your order as an alternative to posting but you MUST email me first and please be aware meeting up may not always be immediately possible. If your goods are needed by a particular date I would encourage you to please select a postage or freight option.
This is my regular weekly routine:
Monday and Tuesday mornings - I am always in the Gladesville area between about 9am and 10.00am.
Every week day during term time I am at North Ryde (Cressy Rd/Blenheim Rd Shops) around 12.30 and again at 3.30pm.
Friday morning - I am at Epping after 10.30am until 11am.
There are some local shops I visit as well. Email me or call me before placing your order and ask me if you think I can help you with this. Please don't 'assume' this option when placing your order.
**Double Clicks on Credit Card Payments...
This sounds very harsh and it isn't meant to but I am a business not a charity. If you click more than once (or multiple times) whilst a credit card payment is processing your card WILL be charged however many times you have clicked. You will be refunded the over payments via Direct Deposit to your bank account. This is done once your payment has shown up in the business bank account. If you insist the charges be reversed to your credit card, the fees I incurr from the gateway and the bank will be deducted from your refund. The fees are usually about $1.25. Amex is the exception. Amex fees are 4% of the sale AND 4% of the refund. If you have clicked more than once and used Amex to pay, your refund will be discussed and agreed to before the sale is refunded. For a sale I absorb and accept these fees as a normal part of running a business. I offer the convenience of credit card payments. Where the error is on your part you shouldn't expect me to accept responsibility.
