Guidelines for
2021
* Please note these dates are a guide only - there are no guarantees to deliver before Christmas given the huge challenges with local and global shipping during the pandemic. Our recommendation this year is to get your gifts out as early as you can.
Economy - Please send ASAP.*
We send no-frills economy post to the USA and UK with Austrlaia Post. It is currently (early Oct 21) taking 2 - 6 weeks plus*
We will put a 'Do not open Until Christmas' Sticker on your delivery and believe it's better to arrive early than late.
There are HUGE challenges in the network causing delays including a lack of commercial flights in the air; a huge volume of parcels in the network; and sudden lockdowns affecting postal staff.
Therefore all bets are off and especially with this method we recommend sending as soon as possible. (See here for published Australia Post cut-off dates which we think may be optimistic!)
DHL Express Courier - Order by 12 Dec 2021*
For delivery to UK, USA, Canada, Japan, Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong.
This is a much faster and reliable service run by DHL Express, who own their own frieght planes. At time of print early Oct 21, deliveries are taking approx 7 workings days to arrive oveseas from date of dispatch.
*These are indicative dates only - due to circumstances outside our control we can't guarantee delivery before Christmas. Corporate / business orders by 5th December
Recommended to send ASAP or by 12th December*and we are still sending up to Tuesday 21st December*
We are upgrading all Australian deliveries to Express Post until further notice, to try to compensate for delays in the Australian Postal system as it deals with lock-down of distrubution centres; a lack of flights in the sky to transport freight; and a huge volume of parcels in its network.
We will put a 'Do Not Open Until Christmas' sticker on your gift.
*These are indicative dates only - due to circumstances outside our control we can't guarantee delivery before Christmas. Corporate / business orders by 5th December
We will be taking orders up to midnight Tuesday 21st December.
Our warehouse is closed between Wednesday 22nd December 2021 – 4th January 2022.
We wish all our much loved customers and visitors a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
