Delivery estimates and destination guide

Our delivery estimates should be used as a general guide only.
Items may be held longer than usual by Australian and overseas customs authorities.
All estimates are for metro destinations – items sent to regional and rural locations will likely take longer.

Items sent from South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory  must travel interstate before departing Australia. You can factor this in by adding 3 business days for Express items, and 7 business days for Standard and Economy items.
