What does turnaround time mean?

Turnaround time is number of days it takes for your order to be prepared at our location. Please note our turnaround time does not include transit time through the postal network.  

Preorder: Several times in a year, we run preorders for special occasions including Easter, Mother's Day, Teacher Appreciation and Christmas. Preorders run on a very simple but different timeline. The dates and details are always pre-determined at the very beginning so that you know when you can expect your preorder items to be shipped. Please refer to the Preorders section of this FAQ for more information. 

Custom orders: Custom orders (e.g commissioned work, designs from scratch) are currently on hold. 

STANDARD POST

Our shipping fee for standard tracked delivery is $9.50. This method is shipped without signature on delivery. This means the postal driver will leave your order in your letterbox or in a safe place. 

This method is not recommended for buildings with unsupervised parcel drop-offs, very small post boxes or doorsteps visibly exposed to public view.

For peace of mind, 'Signature on delivery' can be selected for an additional fee.

EXPRESS POST

Express Post shipping is $13.50. This shipping method is only to expedite the service provided by Australia Post. It is not a rush fee and does not expedite the processing time.  

For heavier or bulkier orders to arrive via Express Post, our system will calculate the additional charges automatically.  

We generally do not offer a rush service.  

Express Shipping is an option to expedite your parcel travelling through the Australia Post network. It is not a rush fee and does not expedite our processing / turnaround time.

For example, if you choose Express Shipping and our black announcement banner shows "7 days", this means it will take us up to 7 days to prepare your order for the post office. Once it is lodged, Australia Post will prioritise your parcel through its network and deliver it within their Express Post timeframe.  

Please keep in mind COVID-safe guidelines are still in place through the Australia Post facilities. Check the Australia Post website for the latest updates. 

When you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation via email.

When your items are ready to ship, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number details.

It is the buyer's responsibility to manage any changes after an item is delivered including parcel redirection, nomination of safe drop areas or parcel locker pickups.

Cards: Our earring/accessory cards are printed in Australia on 100% post-consumer recycled paper using environmentally friendly inks. 

Inner Packaging: Your order is packed in a rigid cardboard mailer box. Your items are protected by tissue wrap or cushy shredded kraft paper or a combination of both. These can go into a household recycling bin. 

Occasionally you may see some bubble wrap but they are often reused from other packages we receive. We can't remember the last time we purchased any new bubble wrap, and generally find that tissue and shredded paper provide sufficient package protection. 

Outer Packaging: The mailer box is placed inside an Australian certified* compostable satchel. *AS5810 Home Compostable Certified & AS4736 Commercially Compostable

The satchels are home compostable, biodegradable, made of corn starch and will decompose in landfill within 6 - 8 months. 

Due to the use of wood and occasionally acrylic in our products, you are purchasing an item that by nature cannot be identical to the one next to it. The difference in grain and tone, sometimes lighter or more distinct, along with the lasercutting process and hand-finishing of every product, result in unique characteristics that will delight you and make your piece truly your own.  

Colour may also differ from screen to screen so please allow for this. We often feature our products on social media, taking photos in different angles and settings. This may give you a better overall picture. 

With personalised items, a certain degree of freedom must be allowed to your designer to fit names, dates and desired wording onto the product. This means font sizes, position and other placements may vary from what you see in a preview product. 

We do not include invoices with any of our deliveries, so no pricing information will be included with your order. Gift away!  

Only one promo code can be used at a time, including any automatic codes applied during a promotion.

For example, if you select a product that already has an automatic discount applied, you will not be able to also use our other promo codes.
