Insurance

All orders valued at $100 or greater are automatically sent by Registered Post. This policy ensures your order will be covered under the Terms & Conditions of our Trade Insurance. We do not charge any premium for this service. Maximum claim is $15,000 for any one mailing, excess is $150. 

The cost of shipping will be added to your invoice. Registered & Insured within Australia $5, overseas $12. Larger parcels at cost plus small handling fee.

Note - any claim will be subject to approval by our Insurance Company or Australia Post in respect to insurance associated with Registered Post.

Small orders (under $100) are sent by Regular Mail, this provides NO insurance coverage. Essentially if it goes missing there is very little that can be done. Any loss is that of the purchasers. If you require your "under $100" order to be Registered, just nominate that when going through the checkout process. We will happily do so. For orders sent within Australia we pay for the registration with older decimal postage stamps affixed to the envelope, you will therefore receive a very attractive Cover with insured delivery for your money!

We find Australia Post to be a fast and reliable service and rarely have we encounted any problems. Some of the more exotic overseas locations can be less reliable. Check with us regarding insurance for these.

Packaging & Posting Policy

All orders are professionally and securely packaged and are generally housed in stock cards or Hagner Sheets. Envelopes are hand cancelled at our Post Office. Where possible we use sets or attractive mixtures of older Australian decimal stamps to pay for postage and registration. We generally dispatch orders on each business day of the week. For larger items we charge you only our costs plus a small handling and packaging cost fee. Follow this link to Australia Post to get a cost estimate for Parcel Post. http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/
