SHIPPING METHOD

We deliver our products by courier to ensure that your package will arrive safe and sound.  Because of this, there needs to be a person present at your specified delivery address during standard business hours to receive and sign for the goods.

Alternatively, at the time of placing your order, you can give permission for the courier to leave the package at your front door, side gate, back porch etc… if no one is home at the time of delivery.  Please do not list a PO Box, as couriers can only deliver to a physical address.

If the address is unattended at the time of delivery the courier will simply leave a note card which you can use to either arrange a pick-up from their closest depot, or organise a redelivery of the item (charges may apply and are paid directly to the courier company).
