Shipping and Order information
Australian and International orders
Safety First
Minimising Risk
Extra steps are taken to ensure contamination-free workspaces and safe storage of all items in stock. Orders are processed and packaged with extra care, following current guidelines, where the goal is always safe delivery to you, the customer.
Shipping Delays
Please keep in mind that delivery times may be slightly longer due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions and changes.
Shipping with TLC
First of all, thank you for your interest in my work. It brings me great joy to see my creations find new homes around the world – and my hope is that, if you take home a deck or pendant, for yourself or someone special, that it will bring happiness and inspiration!
Due to changing shipping restrictions brought about by COVID-19, please check any restrictions/delays specific to your country before placing your order.
Economy Parcels and Letters
Unfortunately, Australia Post has suspended Economy shipping options to many countries, following COVID-19. Currently, the ‘no tracking’ option is only available to the following destinations: Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and USA.

Packaging
All orders are carefully packaged to protect your items during shipping. Depending on the size of your order and the shipping option you select during checkout, the examples below illustrate the main packaging methods I use:
Letter Mailer
Small cardboard mailer (maximum thickness: 20mm), with extra tape to protect during shipping. This option is only available for small items (to-do list, playing cards, post cards) . Please note: ‘Flat Rate International Airmail’ classed as a letter, does not include tracking or refund on lost items. In addition, delivery may take longer due to world-wide shipping challenges brought on by COVID-19.
Padded Bag
Padded bags are classed as a small parcel where shipping cost is determined based on weight and destination. This option is suitable for one or two card decks, or a combination of items (cards, pendants, etc). Your items are securely wrapped in bubble-wrap, before placing in sturdy padded bag for shipping. Note: currently all international parcels must be sent with tracking included (Australia Post suspended Economy Airmail no tracking in March 2020). Within Australia, shipping options include Standard Parcel Post or Express.
Mailing Box
This option is used for orders with multiple items to provide additional padding during shipping. Cost of shipping is determined by weight and the shipping option chosen during checkout.
