Shipping policy
1. Shipping Overview
We offer the following delivery options:
- Courier (Small Parcels)

Freight is generally at the buyer’s cost, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Shipping method is determined based on product size, weight, and delivery location.
2. Freight Charges
All freight charges are payable by the customer unless prior arrangements have been made.
- Small parcels: Courier rates apply.
- Heavy or palletised goods: Freight will be quoted separately if not calculated at checkout.
- Residential deliveries: May incur additional charges and will be quoted accordingly.
- Remote or rural addresses: May attract additional freight charges.
We reserve the right to adjust freight charges if incorrect freight selection was made at checkout. Customers will be notified before dispatch.
3. Dispatch Time
Orders are processed Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).

4. Delivery Conditions
Courier Deliveries (Small Items)
