Pricing and orders

Prices shown on our site are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are exclusive of GST (unless indicated otherwise). Prices are subject to change effective immediately upon posting to our site or other form of notification.

Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order.

Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and us will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched and have been handed over to the designated carrier. The sale contract is therefore concluded in Victoria, Australia.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment or that the item ordered is out of stock. We reserve the right to refuse to process or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion.
