Overseas
Let's face it, shipping from Australia is not cheap, below are typical costs for shipping. From April 2017 we now offer international services with DHL. They are much more cost-effective than Australia Post. However, if you wish to ship internationally with Australia Post, please advise.
International Orders will be sent by DHL in most cases (CD/7" via Australia Post), we will offer the cheapest option for you. Orders over $100 value must be sent registered, insured or via a means where the parcel can be tracked to delivery. International orders are picked up once a week (Generally Fridays) by DHL. Typically a double LP will be $26-$28 but the final total depends on the packaged weight. Please wait for an invoice.
