I would like to surprise the wonderful woman in my life and have some of your lovely goods waiting for her at the place we are holidaying at. Can that be arranged?

Yes it certainly can. We'd love to help. And you, should be bottled! It takes a fair bit of organising and the main thing is that someone needs to sign for the package when it arrives. You need to call the management of where you are staying and drop us an email to letting us know who to contact. More importantly, we need to know that you have given permission for them to act on your behalf. We'll do our utmost to make it happen and keep you up to date with where it is at. Unfortunately, we can't take responsibility if we have sent the order off in good faith and it doesn't make it there in time or goes missing see our Terms and Conditions.

Is there any way I can find out how much postage might be before I start shopping? I've been caught before with huge postage fees and don't want to be caught out again.

Yes. Our costs to ship your parcels can be found in the Shipping section of our website. By choosing specific shipping and postal services, we have been able to standardise costs, let you know up front what they are in the hope that it makes it easier for you to shop with us.

Are there any other charges/fees other than what I pay for my products and postage?

If you live outside Australia, then you may have to pay customs duties. We are not aware of what these may be as they are country specific. You will need to discuss this with the customs authorities in your country.

How do I know when you have received my order and that it's on its way?

You will receive two notifications from us about the status of your order, both by email.

  • An Order Confirmation will be emailed once we have received your order which you placed on the website. This will let you know that we have received your request to purchase from us.
  • Once payment has been cleared, the second email will be sent. This is the Dispatch Confirmation email where we confirm what has been sent the tracking number.

If you pay by credit card, eWay, our transaction provider, will also email you to let you know that they have received your request for payment and when it has been cleared. Paypal will do the same. We don't send payment confirmation emails from Sequins and Sand. If you have any questions about your payment though, please get in contact with us on 1300 996 256 or email us at .

I've made a mistake with my order. Is there any way I can change it?

If you change your mind and we have not yet dispatched the order then we may be able to cancel it but you need to act quickly! Email us immediately to make sure we catch it in time. Any charges we may have incurred will be deducted from any money that you have paid. Orders that cannot be canceled will be subject to our Terms & Conditions and policies relating to Returns & Refunds.

I received an email saying what I had ordered is no longer available. How can that happen and what options do I have?

It can happen when we have a rush on items and have to fill multiple orders at the same time. It's virtually impossible to know if and when this might happen.

We will offer alternatives to suit your needs and you decide what will work best for you. Chose another item that you think might be suitable, wait for more of what you originally ordered to come in (and we'll let you know as soon as it does!) or a full refund of your money.

Ultimately, it's about working with you to make sure you are absolutely happy with whatever arrangement suits your needs.

If I change my mind or the person I am buying for doesn't like what I have bought for them, what can I do?

At Sequins & Sand want to make sure you love your purchase (and love us) so we are happy to exchange or refund any goods because you have changed your mind, are unhappy with them or they are damaged. If you change your mind and we have not yet dispatched the order then we will be happy to cancel it so you need to be quick! Email us immediately to try and make sure we catch it in time. Any charges we may have incurred will be deducted from any money that you have paid.

If you do change your mind and we have already dispatched your order, return goods by posting them to us via registered or trackable post and please retain the appropriate proof of return. Otherwise, if the returned goods go missing in transit to us, we will assume you have not returned them.
