Shipping Charges
Our website uses the Australia Post online calculator to calculate the correct postage of your order. In some cases this may be incorrect and an adjustment is made. If it has been over quoted we apply the reduction without notice. If it is under quoted we will contact you for confirmation of the new cost before processing the order.
Import Duties and Sales Tax
Charges imposed by the importing country are your responsibility. We advise you to contact your Customs department if you are concerned about these possible charges. Note that we mark the customs declaration as ‘personal items not for resale’.
Pricing
All transactions are processed in Australian Dollars.
The Australian sales tax (GST) is deducted from the price of goods (not shipping) if the order originates from outside Australia.
