Orders shipped via DHL Express are delivered within 1–2 business days (usually overnight) to metro areas (longer to country and remote areas) and sent daily.  

Over 70% of addresses in Australia are considered metro, including most central suburbs in Australia’s largest cities, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. We have very few delays with DHL.

Overview

Goods are sent from our New Zealand offices. We send thousands of orders each month to all parts of Australia. We have very few issues with delivery and in many cases, you will receive your order faster than if you ordered from within Australia.

Duties & Taxes

We add 10% Gst to all retail prices for goods sent to Australia, and we are registered for GST and we pay that money to the Australian government. In the unlikely event you have any issues at all with customs or duty/clearance, please contact us immediately and we will assist the process of getting it cleared, and we will of course "make it right" so that your experience with us is a good one.
