Due to VAT regulations, as a small business operating in Australia we unfortunately do not have the resources to collect and remit VAT to the relevant government bodies on behalf of our customers.

During the holidays seasons, you may find transit times for packages to be slower than normal. Please factor in up to 1-4 weeks additional transit time during holiday and peak seasons.
