Shipping and Returns

Shipping & Returns Information

As we sell large, bulky items Australia Wide, certain orders are very difficult to calculate and offer accurate shipping at checkout. For these orders, we do need to manually calculate freight.

If you were not offered a shipping option OR you believe it was incorrect, please contact us and mention you recently tried to check out. We should be able to re-populate your order from our side and get a quote to you within 2 business days.

Thanks for your understanding!
