Overseas Packages will be sent by Standard Airmail up to 1.3 KG in weight. Larger packages will be sent by courier.
We will always try and send your package by the safest and most economical route using tried and trusted couriers. OCCASIONALLY when booking a courier for overseas orders, we find we are able to send packages abroad for less than the price charged. If that is ever the case we will always refund any overpayment once the order has been packed and weighed/ measured.
