Current surges in the COVID-19 pandemic have caused the Postal Service to temporarily suspended international mail acceptance to Australia: these international blocks and limitations have created a higher raise on shipping rates that we are unable to bypass at the moment.
Because we have been unable to secure an affordable solution to this international shipping block - we are encouraging our AUS and NZ sea sisters to team up with their local friends to split the cost of shipping. We have found this solution to be the quickest and most affordable work-around to the higher shipping costs.
We encourage you to bundle your orders and shop with your friends: the magic number for the most affordable shipping rates begins with a group of 3+ (the larger the group, the more affordable the cost of split shipping)
1. Team up with at least 2 other friends to bundle your collective orders
2. Split the cost of shipping evenly between the group
3. Wait for your package to arrive (6-12 business days with tracking) and open together!
