    SHIPPING OPTIONS

    How are products shipped?
    Shipping is via Australia Post. For wholesale or bulky items, we may choose to use a courier. 

    Untracked Postage
    Postage and handling start from just $3.90 untracked^ for small items.
    We apologise the untracked shipping method is currently suspended due to processing delays at the Australia Post end, impacted by COVID-19 safety rules.

    Standard Tracked Postage
    Starting from $8.90 (increased weight is charged  and applied automatically).
    Please note standard tracked postage does not include signature on delivery. If you prefer your parcel to be taken to the post office in case you are not home, choose ‘Standard Tracked with Signature on Delivery’. Alternatively, register for a FREE parcel locker through Australia Post - it’s simple to setup and a secure way to have your parcels delivered. 

    Please check your tracking number on the Australia Post website as soon as you receive a shipping notification from us and subscribe via SMS or email to any shipping updates provided by Australia Post.

    Shipping Delays
    Wood With Words is not responsible for shipping delays incurred by Australia Post or other shipping companies

    Lost or missing items 
    Please select your delivery preferences carefully via your Australia Post ‘MyPost’ account website. Australia Post now provides many options for delivering your parcels securely including FREE parcel lockers. We also provide a ‘signature on delivery’ shipping option (for an additional cost) if you don’t wish to parcels to be left at your doorstep.
    Wood With Words is not responsible for items that go missing after it has been delivered by Australia Post.
    Do you check my spelling and punctuation?
    Personalisation is at the heart of my designs so it's very important to ensure that all names and personalised fields are spelt and entered correctly. If I do spot something I'm unsure of, I will get in touch, however it is your responsibility they are correct before you submit your order. Unfortunately, there are no replacements or refunds for names provided incorrectly.
    If a personalisation field is left blank (our system is setup to alert you of this before proceeding further but occasionally you may get through!) it is assumed that you do not wish for your piece to be personalised.

  • The natural characteristics of wood

    Due to the use of wood in our products, you are purchasing an item that, by nature, cannot be identical to the one next to it. The difference in grain and tone, sometimes lighter or more distinct, along with the lasercutting process and hand-finishing of every product, result in unique characteristics that will delight you and make your piece truly your own. 
     

  • Returns and Exchanges

    A refund or exchange will be issued if the product that you receive is faulty or  damaged. Photos of damaged item must be submitted along with your request for an exchange or refund. Exchanges are only for the same item and cannot be substituted for other items. We do not offer refunds for change of mind. 

    What currency is shown on this website?

    All pricing is in Australian Dollars [AUD].

    Prices may be changed at any time without further notice.

    We reserve the right to change our product's prices at any time without further notice.
