Shipping Particulars
Most orders can be shipped via Australia Post or Express Post. There are restrictions on some items as follow: Aerosols, Flammable and hazardous materials. Because of government regulations, orders containing aerosols, flammable or hazardous materials must be shipped via ground transportation. These products will attract additional freight costs and will take longer to arrive. Flammable and hazardous materials are marked with a (F) icon throughout our site.


Truck and Freight orders
Due to size and weight restrictions, certain orders must be shipped by "common carrier" (trucking company). We will find the carrier that best suits your order and call you for approval of the shipping charge. Oversize and Overweight parcels are parcels with a greatest linear dimension over 105cm. or parcels with a total weight over 20kg or parcels with a girth exceeding 140cm. Both oversize and overweight parcels will take longer to arrive and additional charges may apply.
