    Direct from Supplier Shipping

    Some products on our website are shipped directly from our supplier rather than from our Gold Coast location. These items are clearly marked as “Free Shipping · Direct from Supplier” on the product page.

    • Delivery timeframe: Estimated delivery is between 7–20 business days. Most orders typically arrive within around 10 business days.
    • Tracking: A tracking link may or may not be provided, depending on the supplier and shipping method used.
    • Shipping cost: Direct from supplier shipping is currently free. This offer may change in the future.
    • Split shipments: Orders containing both locally stocked items and supplier-shipped items will be sent in separate parcels and may arrive at different times.
    • Returns: Returns for direct from supplier items can be made locally. Our standard returns policy applies.

    If your order includes both local and supplier items, you may receive multiple shipping notifications.
