If we cancel an order we will advise you prior to the dispatch of goods and refund any money you've paid in full. You also agree that we may replace an item you ordered with a substantially identical item if we consider it appropriate to do so. For example if you order an item of a particular colour, and that colour is not available, we may substitute an item of another colour. Or if you order an item of a particular make and model, and that model has been superseded, we may replace it with the new model. We also reserve the right to substitute any delivery method selected by you at checkout with a different delivery method if we consider it appropriate to do so. For example if you select "express post" but express post is not available in your area or is otherwise not reasonably practical (for example because of the size or shape of the item ordered, or because of where you live or where the item is being dispatched from) we may substitute it with the most practical delivery method in the circumstances.

If you do not receive your order within 28 days of dispatch, we will replace it or refund your money unless (a) you have not provided your full and correct address details (b) our delivery company provides evidence of delivery (such as a photo or signature). We may require a statutory declaration or other evidence of non-delivery. All orders are your responsibility once delivered to your address (whether or not someone is home to accept collection). If you have given us or the delivery company (such as Australia Post) "authority to leave" you are confirming that it is safe to leave the item at your premises if no one is home, and we cannot accept any responsibility for loss, theft or damage once delivered).Please note under Australia Post rules effective from 2 April 2017, you will be deemed to have given "authority to leave" if the post office staff member believes it is safe to do so unless you expressly opt out. If you do not want the parcel left if no one is available to sign for it , please write "DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT SIGNATURE" in the comments box during checkout.
Covid 19 Delivery Guarantee Notice: The terms and conditions of our delivery guarantee specifically exclude delays to the postal service which are outside our control and the current Covid 19 Pandemic falls within that exclusion.
