Shipping and Delivery

We use Australia Post for sending orders. We offer a flat rate shipping Australia Wide for any number of items up to 3kg. Postage options will be in the checkout once you have added items to your cart. If the order is oversize and/or bulky there may be a small extra surcharge or your order may be sent in multiple parcels. We also offer free local pickup for customers that live within the area and wish to collect their order. We will advise once your order is ready to arrange an appointment for collection either from our workshop or from one of the local markets we attend if preferred. Postage does not include insurance for items over $100, which cover loss or breakage during transit for most items and is provided through Australia Post. If you wish to have your order sent with insurance please contact us and it can be arranged at your expense through Australia Post. For further information on insurance or postage please see the Australia Post website. This applies to both domestic and international orders.

​

Orders that are in stock generally ship within 3-5 working days once full payment for your order is received. You will be notified by email once your order has been shipped with a tracking number. Lead times and availability for products and those that are 'Made To Order' are stated in the description for products and should be taken into account when ordering. If you select products that are in stock and made to order in the same purchase and you wish to have the in stock products shipped immediately, your order may incur an extra postage fee once the made to order products are ready for shipping.

​

All our products are handcrafted in our workshop in small quantities, therefore occasionally there may be a waiting time on popular items that are normally in stock. If a product is temporarily unavailable or there is a delay in the production of an item we will advise with an expected completion time-frame.

​

International Orders

International shipping is available at an additional charge. We are more than happy to organize international shipping if required. Pricing will be advised via email upon completion of your order once we have the weight and size of your parcel. If you would like an estimate of pricing to send internationally before placing an order please contact us and we will advise you of shipping and handling options and pricing.

​

Custom Made

Custom “items”, “products”, “work” and “orders” are considered to be any product that is made to order specifically for that customer. This includes products that are a standard design which has been modified from its regular design and incorporates a change that may include, but is not limited to: changes to colour, hardware type or style, extra holes, leather as well as additional pieces, designs, stamping, carving, lacing etc. 

​

All custom items require a non-refundable deposit before that item will begin to be made. The deposit amount will be based upon a value or percentage, depending on the type of work agreed upon. Once a custom order has been started we cannot cancel the order or issue a refund.

​

Extra holes on belts, straps etc. : If you require extra holes on your product (belts for example), please note that once added we are unable to exchange due to the customised nature of the addition. We can add up to 3 holes at no extra charge, after this there will be an additional cost due to the time to add extra holes.

​

Gift Cards​

Gift Cards are valid for 36 months from date of purchase and are redeemable through our online store. Gift cards are provided in the form of an e-Gift card where the recipient will receive an email for the Gift card with a unique code for use at the checkout. They can be used in part or full at time of purchase. Balances are available upon enquiry. Please see our contact details for this. We can not refund the balance of/or gift cards once purchased.
