Shipping:

The company takes great care to ship goods correctly packed and in a timely fashion. Shipping is calculated using third party calculators. Our policy is NOT to use standard letter post – even for smaller items. For smaller items we use express post, which adds to the cost, but increases the customers ability to track their shipment. Our minimum shipping cost is therefore $14 and our customers need to bear this in mind when putting together orders. Please Refer to guide below for shipping costs. 

NB makes no representations as to the performance of shippers and couriers.

SHIPPING WILL TAKE UP TO 7-10 Days from when an order is placed
