PLEASE NOTE: The postage for this may be less depending on where you reside. We have had to set the rate at the worst rate for delivery in Australia to cover everyone (Western Australia). We use Australia Post satchels where possible, and so the satchel rate applies. If the order weighs more than 5 kg, we have to set 'a' rate for postage. We always refund anything more than what the postage is.
If you would like to know exactly what the postage is before purchasing, email us, and we can send you a rate based on where you are located. We can then send you an invoice which only charges for that amount, rather than you going through the checkout. Any queries, don't hesitate to contact us.
