DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer Free shipping Australia wide. All orders should arrive within 1-6 business days for same city & other Metro areas. 1-14 Business days for Regional and other Australian addresses. This is just a general guide and in some instances a delivery can take longer than usual to arrive for a multitude of different reasons.
All parcels are sent with tracking!
Currently we ship all of our orders out using standard shipping and limited Express Post on smaller items. To organise a quotation for Express shipping services on bulkier items please get in contact with us here.
Our delivery partners are Australia Post & Sendle. Every order is evaluated individually prior to fulfilment in order to offer you the best value and service available. It is important to note that all orders sent out will be ATL (Authority to leave) by default, to request a different service simply send us a message at basicxbarista@gmail.com or write so in the 'Notes' section at checkout.
Please note that once your order has left us and is in the hands of the courier / post, we do not have control over the shipping time or the handling of your order.
