Order Processing
1. Order Confirmation: Once you place an order with us, you will receive an order confirmation via email, providing you with the details of your purchase. Please review this information carefully to ensure accuracy. If you do not receive an order confirmation email after placing your order, please check your email spam folder, as on occasion your confirmation may get incorrectly filtered by your email provider. If you still haven’t received an email, shoot us a message on our contact form and we can check to ensure the correct email was used during checkout, and reissue your confirmation if required.
2. Processing Time: We strive to process and ship all orders as quickly as possible. Most orders of In-Stock or Ready to Ship items are processed within 1-2 business days. However, during peak seasons, weekends or public holidays, processing times may be slightly longer. We appreciate your patience during these times.
Orders of Built to Order or Custom Order items will indicate an Estimated Delivery Timeframe on the product listing. We aim to keep these estimates as accurate as possible throughout the year. On occasion your order may be delivered outside the estimate, due to external factors, adverse weather events or supply chain delays. Should we receive notification of any significant delays with your Built to Order or Custom Order items, we will advise you ASAP if applicable.
If you order both Built to Order/Custom Order and In Stock/Ready to Ship items, your order will be dispatched together once all items are available for dispatch. Should you require your Ready to Ship or In Stock items to be dispatched ASAP, please add a note at the time of ordering requesting this.
3. Order Modifications or Cancellations: We understand that circumstances may change, and you may need to modify or cancel your order. If you need to make any changes, please contact us as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to modify or cancel your order once it has been processed and/or shipped.
Orders of Built to Order or Custom Order cannot be changed once your items go into production. If you have made a mistake at the time of ordering and need to modify or change anything, you must contact us ASAP and we will endeavour to assist with your order change request.
