A preorder is a product which has not yet come into stock, but can instead be pre-purchased to secure a purchase of your chosen product once it is released or has come into stock. Preorder items must be paid in full at the time of purchase and cannot be cancelled for any reason, please ensure that the product is what you want before placing any preorders.

Preorders are tagged with a blue 'preorder' tag and/or a listed date in the future. Please check the dates on the product listings, as release schedules are often subject to change.

Orders containing a mix of in stock and preorder items are shipped out all together, once the last item in the order is released.

Once an order is placed, our team will carefully collect your items from the warehouse and prepare them with utmost care, so please allow up to 48 hours for our team to pick and pack your order. All orders are sent when all items are ready in full - this means that if you have a pre-order item in your order, all items will wait until that latest item is available and then will be sent out at the same time.

Your cards will then be sent via Australia Post, and should be safely in your patiently waiting hands within 2-8 business days*.

As soon as your order is sent you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us complete with a tracking number so you can follow your goods on their journey to you.

Free standard shipping applies on all orders above $150, Australia Wide.

*Please note: all shipping timeframes are from the advertised date of dispatch. Should your item have a preorder date (advised within the product listing), this is the date of dispatch. The delivery timeframe starts from the pre-order date it ships on. If there’s no date next to the product name, you’re in luck - it’s ready to go!

If you’re located in Australia, standard shipping is free on all orders over $150. For orders under $150, standard shipping is $10.

Express Shipping options are also available at checkout.

Express Shipping is available for all regions in Australia with an expected delivery between 1-3 days.

Standard Shipping is included free on all orders over $150. Expected delivery is between 2-8 business days. 

*Please note: Although Australia Post quote us these expected delivery times, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may show a ‘delayed’ delivery date. 

After we pass your order to Australia Post, we will send you a shipping confirmation email which will have a ‘Track Order’ button. This will take you directly to the Australia Post site so you can follow the live tracking updates!

Haven’t received your shipping confirmation email yet? Your order may be on pre-order, as confirmed on the website at time of purchase. Be sure to check your original order confirmation, you won’t receive a shipping confirmation email until that pre-order date.

Think your order might be lost in transit? Although Australia Post quote us 2-8 business days for standard delivery, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may show a ‘delayed’ delivery date. 

If your order isn’t delivered within 20 days, please contact us and we can launch an investigation with Australia Post.
