Deliveries for large and bulky orders, together with orders to more remote parts of Australia may be subject to additional freight charges. Although we try to absorb these additional costs, there are circumstances where the cost cannot be absorbed. If this occurs we will phone you for the payment of the additional fee or give you the opportunity to cancel the order and receive a full refund if you choose not to proceed with the order.
