HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?
Standard shipping is FREE with all our Luxe Gift Boxes.
WHEN WILL MY BOX ARRIVE?
We aim to prepare and dispatch our Luxe Gift Boxes within 1 – 2 business days via our shipping partner Australia Post. Standard shipping takes between 2 – 5 business days for nearby cities and can be longer for regional + remote areas. Our studio is based in South East Queensland, Australia. Annual events like Christmas/Public Holidays, Covid-19 restrictions and adverse weather conditions may delay delivery times. We cannot be held accountable for any delivery delays once your order is in the hands of our shipping partner. Our shipping confirmation email and relevant tracking number will allow you to see the location of your order along with an approximate delivery date, whilst also providing a means for follow-up with Australia Post if needed.
Orders placed on weekend days will be dispatched at the start of the working week and deliveries only take place on business days.
Once your order is in the hands of our shipping partner, it is up to them to deliver it within the allocated timeframe. If Australia Post deem the address to be secure their driver may choose ‘Authority to Leave’ meaning your order will be left in a safe location as close to the doorstep as deemed possible. If a safe location cannot be found (eg. block of units), a card will be left in the letterbox and the parcel taken to a nearby branch for collection. Please note that we cannot accept any responsibility for missing or delayed parcels. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to liaise with Australia Post once packages have been dispatched, so please make contact with our shipping partner directly if you’re in any doubt as to the location of your parcel.
Entering correct address & recipient details for the delivery of parcels is the purchaser’s responsibility and once the item is in the hands of our shipping partner we will be unable to make any changes to the delivery of your package. We cannot take responsibility for incorrect delivery details and we do not offer refunds or replacements for packages that go missing.
