Shopping Policy

Shipping & Delivery

While we tried our best to present the best pictures of our stock on the website, we can’t guarantee that no variation of colours or so may take place due to the digital camera limitations.

We strongly recommend that you choose your goods carefully because we don’t make refunds unless goods are faulty or wrongly delivered. But we are happy to exchange the goods if your change your mind on the basis that the goods are returned in the original conditions within 10 days of receipt. The customers will pay all the return cost.

Our main shipping method is via Australian Post regular post. By regular post, goods can’t be tracked and we will not be responsible for any loss during the shipping. Now a fix fee is charged for one pack but we retain the right to charge the fees according to the weight later. Registered post or Express post may be used at the request of customers while shipping and additional fees will be charged.
