We provide FREE Standard Shipping on orders over A$220.

We provide FREE Standard Shipping on orders over A$220. The total delivery time frame includes the production time (the time it takes to print and package your product) and the shipping time. Holidays and large sales will increase production time. Please note that some of the products like fabric backdrops, rubber floor mats, vinyl backdrops, and backdrop stands are shipped separately due to different production times and packaging requirements. As a result, these items may be charged for shipping twice and arrive in different packages at different times. International orders might incur customs or duty fees upon delivery. These charges are not covered in your initial shipping costs.
