We'll endeavor to send your order within 24 hours of receiving cleared payment. There may be a delay for customers paying via Bank Deposit as electronic payments can take between 24-48hrs to clear.

Please note that these times depend upon many factors and are a guideline only. Unfortunately we have no control over delivery time once your item has been mailed. As a guideline however once your item has been dispatched delivery can take between 2 – 10 business days depending on destination and all orders require a signature upon delivery.
