Processing and delivery timeframes

Processing time for ready-to-ship items is usually 1 to 2 business days. Processing time for custom orders will vary - please see individual product descriptions for an estimate. If your order contains a product requiring customisation, your entire order will be shipped together once the custom item is ready. Please place orders for custom items separately if you would like to receive your ready-to-ship products earlier.

All items are shipped from Melbourne. Standard delivery generally takes between 2 to 6 business days between most capital cities. Please allow additional time on top of this due to COVID disruptions. Your tracking link will provide more information, or alternatively, the Australia Post delivery estimator may give you a more specific timeframe.

We are actively monitoring the Australian government's response to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak and are currently operating our online store as usual. We appreciate the Australian government's measures to combat the spread of the virus and we will be reviewing our approach regularly to ensure we comply and do our bit to help keep our community safe.

Expect Australia Post delays, due to COVID disruptions, particularly to regional and rural areas

Please note that the 'Next Day Express Post Guarantee' has been temporarily suspended. Express Post service will continue to be the fastest postal delivery option – and Australia Post will continue to prioritise these deliveries. They just may not be delivered next business day every time.

Australia Post is exploring all available transport alternatives and options, and working with the Australian Government, to minimise resulting impacts for customers.

Signatures no longer required (Australia Post policy)

Expect significant delays

Due to ongoing COVID disruptions and ever-changing situation, Australia Post is experiencing international delivery delays. Further, certain countries may no longer be performing signature on delivery for items delivered due to government restrictions.

Processing time for custom orders will vary - please see individual product descriptions for an estimate, or contact us prior to placing an order.

If your order contains a product requiring customisation, your entire order will be shipped together once the custom item is ready. Please place orders for custom items separately if you would like to receive your ready-to-ship products earlier.

We understand that mistakes happen and we want to do whatever we can to make sure you get your parcel. Please contact us ASAP and if we have not yet begun processing your order, we will be able to update your shipping information.

However, once the shipping process has begun, we cannot change your order or shipping address. Please understand that we cannot be held responsible for incorrect addresses, unclaimed shipments, undeliverable addresses or any other incomplete or incorrect information provided by you. This means that if your undelivered parcel is returned to us and you would like us to reship it, we will ask you to cover the reshipping costs. If you would like a refund instead, we will refund the purchase price of your product/s, excluding any original shipping costs paid.

Note: this section applies to non-custom orders only. Custom orders cannot be changed or cancelled once production has begun.

If you've changed your mind and wish to cancel your order (or items in your order), you can email us and we will cancel your order (or items in your order), if it hasn't been shipped out yet. Please contact us ASAP because sometimes items have already been shipped but tracking details have not yet appeared in the system, in which case we will be unable to cancel your order. Your refund amount may be reduced by a restocking fee equal to 10% of the item(s) price (to cover non-refundable costs made to payment service providers).

If your order has not yet been shipped, and you would like to add an item, or exchange an item for another item of equal or greater value, we will send you a custom checkout link for the additional payment (if any) to be made prior to shipping your order. No extra shipping charges will be applied. If you would like to exchange your item for another item of lesser value, we will refund you the difference, less 10% of the difference (restocking fee). For example, if you bought an item that costs $100 and would like to exchange it for an item that costs $70, we will refund you $27.

If you've changed your mind before we've shipped your order, please read the previous section to see your options.

Reason for return: Change of mind/ incorrect product purchased

If you’ve changed your mind or purchased an incorrect product after we've shipped your order, we can issue a refund (of the purchase price of the product/s, excluding any shipping costs paid) or exchange if you contact us within 14 days of receiving your order. You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning/reshipping the item(s).

If you are shipping an item(s) over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item. Unfortunately if we do not receive your returned item, we will not be able to provide you with a refund or exchange. Any refunds will be applied via the original payment method, e.g. your credit card, PayPal, Afterpay account etc. Once approved, refunds take 5 – 10 business days to process. Feel free to contact us if you have not received your refund after this period.

For returns from outside of Australia, please contact us prior to shipping). We will check the product once we receive it and if you are eligible to receive a refund, we will send you a notification once the item(s) have been received and checked.

We are based in Melbourne, however we don't have a shop front - maybe in the future - so all orders are sent out via Aus Post. Our free standard shipping threshold is currently available for orders over $49 (within Australia).

Alternatively, you may find what you are looking for at of our stockists. We recommend calling up beforehand to avoid disappointment.

Using wax granules

• Place three (3) wax granules into the wax melting spoon.
• Hold the spoon just above the candle flame and watch as the wax melts. Try not to overheat your wax (bubbling, or lots of smoke) as this may cause your wax to become too runny (which makes it harder to pour a nice circle), or the excess heat may cause paper surfaces to buckle. If your wax overheats, remove your spoon from the heat and let the wax cool slightly before continuing. Avoid placing the spoon in the candle flame as this could cause the bottom of the spoon to become sooty and difficult to clean.
• When about 75% of the wax has melted, take the spoon off the heat source and allow the residual heat to melt the remainder of the wax. Doing this will minimise the chance of overheating the wax. (Tip: For faster results, stir the wax using an unbent paper clip). Once all the wax has melted, slowly pour it onto your desired surface.
• Gently lower the stamp into the wax, wait for 25-30 seconds (or until wax has hardened), then remove the stamp. Enjoy your wax seal!

Using a wickless wax stick

• You can either chop small pieces off the wax stick and place them into the wax melting spoon, or place one end of the stick in the spoon, and hold the other end while the wax melts.
• Hold the spoon just above the candle flame and watch as the wax melts. Try not to overheat your wax (bubbling, or lots of smoke) as this may cause your wax to become too runny (which makes it harder to pour a nice circle), or the excess heat may cause paper surfaces to buckle. If your wax overheats, remove your spoon from the heat and let the wax cool slightly before continuing. Avoid placing the spoon in the candle flame as this could cause the bottom of the spoon to become sooty and difficult to clean.
• When about 75% of the wax has melted, take the spoon off the heat source and allow the residual heat to melt the remainder of the wax. Doing this will minimise the chance of overheating the wax. (Tip: For faster results, stir the wax using an unbent paper clip). Once all the wax has melted, slowly pour it onto your desired surface. Aim to create a pool of wax that's about 75% the size of your wax stamp's diameter.
• Gently lower the stamp into the wax, wait for 25-30 seconds (or until wax has hardened), then remove the stamp. Enjoy your wax seal!

Simply reheat the wax over your candle flame, and once it's melted, wipe it off with a tissue, paper towel or cloth. Be careful as the wax can be quite hot at this point.

Yes you can as long as there's no paper or foreign objects stuck to it. If you just want to practise creating wax seals, try pouring it onto non-stick, baking/ greaseproof paper or a silicone mat. The wax seal will lift right off once it's cooled, and you can simply remelt it. (Alternatively, you can stick the finished wax seal onto something using our double-sided adhesive round stickers).

If there's hardened wax at the bottom of your spoon, you can also add more wax and heat it to melt as per usual.

• To make the raised impression stand out, try colouring over it with a metallic paint marker

• For gift wrapping, try creating a wax seal over twine or dried botanical stems

• Try creating pressed flower seals with our semi-transparent wax and dried flower petals

• Try mixing different multi-coloured granules for a swirly, marbled effect

Yes! You can choose to have custom wax stamps made with our help in designing them or by providing your own logo.

We also offer a range of semi-custom, monogram wax sealing sets, which are perfect for wedding or personal stationery.

Explore our range of custom & semi custom wax stamps.

We stock a special range of eco-friendly, biodegradable wax sticks that are made from 100% plant rosins (pine resin tree sap), natural colour pigments, minerals and vegan waxes. Wax from this range is biodegradable and forms traditionally brittle wax seals that satisfyingly snap when you break the seal.

The wax from our sealing wax granules, glue gun wax sticks and wickless wax sticks contain a gelling agent (standard industry practice), which is required for the wax to be flexible, but is not biodegradable. This wax is more suitable if your wax-sealed letter/package will be handled, mailed or if you intend on it being part of a keepsake.

We offer corporate calligraphy services such as live personalisation for promotional events, place cards for private dining functions and bottle engraving services in Melbourne.
