It can be common for parcels to go missing during peak periods, and sometimes during those quieter days. If you believe this has happened to you the first step is opening a case with Australia post.

Once you have done so forward the case number to our customer care team with your name, order number and description of items. The case can take up to 10 business days to be closed.

If the item is missing, we will need to wait for the case to be closed prior to sending off a replacement if possible. If you have not opted for transit cover, you may not be covered and we will not be able to absorb the costs.

As we continue to grow we hope to offer customers the option of free returns, at this time however it is the customers responsibility to cover the cost of return.

For Australian Residence you can use Refundid to purchase page a returns label for a flat rate of $10.60 regardless of weight or size of the parcel.
