Delivery Information
DISPLAYED LEAD TIMES
As a small design brand, we largely work to a pre-order model to ensure our footprint is as light as possible when it comes to our manufacturing, warehousing and shipping. Delivery lead times are communicated beneath each individual design. Delivery lead times displayed on each product page display the classification of each product; In Stock, Order Now or Made to Order.
- In Stock - Designs are in stock at our warehouse and available to be dispatched to delivery partners.
- Pre-Order / Order Now - Designs are available on an incoming shipment arriving within the delivery window displayed on the products page. Not available to ship right away.
- Made To Order - This design is made especially for you. Terms and conditions therefore do apply.
The lead times displayed online are dynamic and are updated daily. This means the delivery lead times are only allocated once your order is placed. As designs very often sell out prior to arriving into our Sydney warehouse, please do consider making your purchase as soon as possible to avoid delays.
Any delivery date or date range provided to you is an estimate only. We will use reasonable endeavours to meet the estimated delivery date, however products may be delivered within a reasonable period of that date. In these circumstances, and subject to our obligations under the law (including those described below), we will not be liable for any loss or damage, however it arises, if the products are delivered within a reasonable time after the estimated delivery date.

Once your order is in stock in full at our Sydney warehouse, it will be dispatched to our delivery partners within 3-7 business days. For insurance reasons, we do not allow for warehouse collections.

WILL IT FIT?
It is your responsibility to check there is sufficient access to your property as well as ensuring the item will fit within doorways and lifts into your room of choice. A helpful “Will it Fit?” guide is available for download HERE, please use this resource before placing your order.
Boxed dimensions and weights are available online, these can be found under Dimensions on each product page. Within the Downloadable Content section are specification sheets which provide product illustrations and measurements. If you are concerned about your purchase fitting through doorways, or within lifts or stairwells, please reach out to our team with any additional measurements you have and they may be able to help guide you. We cannot be held accountable for ensuring the purchased items will fit within your residence upon delivery.
