Frequently Asked Questions

Our prices are inclusive of free shipping via regular post (first class mail or priority air mail). This means your order cannot be tracked. With that said, we find regular / first class post very reliable and 99.95% of orders arrive without issue provided that the mailing address is correct. 

For an additional charge Express Post is available to orders to Australia and Priority Post is available to orders to the United States. These are tracked services and tracking information is provided upon the order being posted. 

With the exception of Express Post (Australia) and Priority Post (US), all cards are sent and delivered by regular post. The means delivery confirmation is not possible. The only way to check that a delivery has been made is to check with the actual recipient.

We recommend that you only contact a recipient after the delivery window we have provided has passed - to avoid ruining the surprise.
