The fees are defined by satchel size:

0-500g = $11.50
500g and over = $15

Using Express Post means that parcels get there faster, but they are NOT totally insured. They are insure up to a value of $50. They are however, able to be tracked.

So, in the event that they go missing or are damaged in transit and you still want to receive them, you will need to order and pay for the products again.

Your Express Post number appears on the front of the post bag. That number will also be included in the Dispatch Notification we send by email. Please keep a record of this somewhere.
