Shipping costs

Within Australia - smaller items

This is relatively inexpensive & a very cost effective way of purchasing items without the hassle of driving to collect them yourself, especially if you are interstate. I recommend using Fastway couriers as they are door to door & up to 20kg per box. As a rough guide prices are as follows-
Victoria: Melbourne down to Mornington, Kyneton to Echuca, Beechworth to Wagga Wagga $15, west of Apollo bay but south of Hamilton $20, Rest of state $25
NSW: South as far as Sydney $17, North to Brisbane $25, rest of State up to $40.
Queensland: Up to Brisbane $25, North to Cairns $30, Cairns $40
Perth: form $30 but will not cover around the state. An individual quote will be required.
Tasmania: $25
All other States $60+
Some delivery areas, especially country can vary, so to be sure of exact cost, please ask me to get a quote.
I will use Australia post for the smaller & lighter items where their costs are lower than Fastway. Be aware that postage for heavier items is a lot more expensive so if you live at the opposite ends of Australia from Victoria, postage will be expensive so you may want me to give you a rough quote before considering to bid on a an item.

Within Australia - Furniture

For items to be sent interstate as a rough guide, for Canberra, Sydney & up to Brisbane, costs are from $180 to $265 per item & $100 per additional item, within city limits. Extra charges apply if north of Brisbane or west of Sydney. Perth is $300, Adelaide $250. Country areas are too hard to generalize & will need an individual calculation. Please ask for a quote beforehand to confirm.

International

I usually use Australia Post & costs vary considerably between countries, method of delivery & size & weight of items. Small items packed in bubble wrap bags are very inexpensive & will cost between $10-30. Parcels are more expensive but cost less if you require standard airfare that takes between at least 7 days with no extra frills inc no tracking. To best find out costs please visit Australia post at http://auspost.com.au/apps/postage-calculator.html. This is a postage calculator where you can accurately see your options & determine for yourself how much you have to pay. For fragile items such as ceramics & glass, they may need double packing & this will add extra to the weight. To find the weight of the item please contact me & I will let you know. I recommend using Express Post International as it will be given a tracking number which is useful in case of loss or delays.

Packing & handling costs
For small items such as bubble wrap envelopes, we charge $16.50
For parcels we charge $22 per box. Items that are exceptionally large or fragile that need specialist off-site services will be charged accordingly.

Please Note:
To export ivory & other restricted items from Australia, you will require an export permit. This will involve having an independent appraisal of the item to verify it is pre CITES & an application for a permit will need to be completed. We will only export these items with the appropriate permits in place. This can be a slow process as well as time consuming filling out forms etc. We will apply a charge for our time to expedite this process so we suggest that it will only be worth considering the higher value items.
