Shipping Policies for Orders and Returns
Orders
We ship within Australia with Australia Post using No tracking envelopes for 1 meter or less if selected at checkout. Orders above 1 meter we use Flat Rate Satchels up to 5 kg in weight and depending on meterage, the checkout will select small, medium, large and extra large. These are tracked by Australia Post. Express shipping is an optional extra as well for the Flat Rate Satchels.
Our goal is to ship orders by the next morning they are received whenever possible. Sometimes delays might happen due to circumstances beyond our control with an email advising of any delays.
You will be advised when your order ships and a tracking number provided by email.
Shipping to New Zealand and other international destinations will be with Australia Post at their current international rates. For example 1kg ( 6m fabric) costs AUD $24.50 to New Zealand and AUD $37.80 to USA. Postage is calculated at checkout before finalising your order payment.
For orders over 5 kg ( approximately 30 meters fabric 110cm wide, 12 meters wide backing) please contact us by email and we will get a courier’s quote for you.
Returns
If for some reason you are not happy with your purchase please contact me and I will try to remedy the problem before you return the goods. I am very reasonable and will address any problems as quickly as possible.
Please note, as batiks are hand produced some print or dye mismatch can occur. This is not considered faulty. If the mismatch is significant a refund may be applicable. Also color differences caused by screens on devices are not considered faulty. We work really hard to ensure as close a color match as possible. If this a problem, please ask for a photo to be sent to you prior to dispatch.
Our policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.
Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer. As they will send it back to you.
