We're sorry to hear there has been a delay. Here's what we first suggest:

1. Please check the tracking number provided and make sure there isn’t a delay listed by the carrier (below).
2. Check that you have supplied the correct delivery address for your order and that your contact details are correct.
3. Check to see if the Courier driver or Australia Post have left an attempted delivery card. Your parcel may be awaiting collection at the local post office.
4. Also check any safe areas that the driver may have left your parcel, such as behind posts or inside the gate.

Please also note that during peak periods which includes sale periods (Easter, EOFY Sales, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day and End of Year Sales) shipping companies can experience delays in delivery due to volume. We're sorry for the inconvenience that this causes and are also very disappointed when there are delays as we strive to get our products to you as quickly as we can.

5. If this doesn't work, please contact us, making note of your order or invoice number and we will look into it immediately.
