Shipping Times
We ship order from Monday to Thursday. Orders are shipped on confirmation of receipt of payment. With paypal this is immediate. With bank transfer/deposit this is usually the next day (however with some banks it can be longer - usually the next business day). We will pack the items ready for immediate shipment as soon as payment is confirmed.
In most cases, orders received before 8am (Brisbane EST) - where receipt of payment is confirmed - Monday to Thursday will be shipped that day. Orders or where payments are received after that time (or on weekends or public holidays) will be shipped the next business day (except Friday).
