Shipping policy

1. Shipping Options and Costs

1.1 Shipping Methods: We offer various shipping methods, including standard and local express delivery, subject to availability and location.

1.2 Free Shipping: We offer free express shipping for orders that meet local destination criteria. Local destinations include shipping destinations (excluding PO boxes) which are within 20km radius from our gift station.

The eligibility for local delivery will be notified during the check-out process. It is your responsibility to choose "Local delivery" as the shipping method in order to enjoy free shipping services. If not, a shipping fee will be applied based on the weight of the package and shipping address. This may not be reversible as non-local deliveries are handled by our third party shipping partners.

1.3 Shipping Costs: Some deliveries incur shipping costs which are determined based on the shipping method chosen, delivery location, and the total weight or dimensions of the order. These costs will be displayed during the checkout process.

2. Estimated Delivery Times

2.1 Delivery Estimates: Estimated delivery times are provided based on the shipping method and delivery location. A same state delivery may typically take 2 - 4 business days and an interstate delivery may take 3 - 6 business days. While we make every effort to meet these estimates, actual delivery times may vary due to unforeseen circumstances.

2.2 Processing Time: Orders are typically processed within 1-3 business days of payment confirmation. Processing time may be longer during peak seasons.
