- Local Pick-up is FREE and contactless, from Taroona any day of the week. Please let us know when you would like to collect your order so we can leave it on the doorstep for contactless collection. We require 24hrs notice of when you intend to collect. Orders will be held for a maximum of 2 weeks and your order will be refunded if you have not collected or arranged delivery payment by this time.
Postage options will be offered to you at checkout. We will contact you if an additional shipping payment is required for your order.
Tracking is included on all items posted.
Insurance is available on all parcels for an additional fee. Please contact us if you require this service.
COVID19 and shipping - We're in the fortunate position that our shop is located beside our home, and only Lauren and Oberon access the space, so we're able to keep to strict hygiene standards. All orders are sent in cardboard or paper. Parcels are collected, contactless, from our home, by Australia Post.
How soon will I receive my order?
Your order will be shipped within 3 business days, unless we are exceptionally busy. All parcels are sent via Australia Post and if you're outside Tasmania will usually take between 5-6 days after shipping, to reach you. Orders to New Zealand will take 6+ business days after shipping. Express post parcels will generally be received between 1-2 days after shipping. The delivery time will vary depending on your location. Please check your Australia Post Network for actual delivery times and allow extra time for delivery at busy times, like Christmas. If you require a parcel urgently, please let us know and we will endeavour to send it out within 24 hours. Please note, postage is currently slower than usual, due to COVID19.
Environmentally conscious postage
Orders are packed using compostable padded mailer bags, made from recycled paper, or re-used cardboard boxes. Where extra padding is needed, we use compostable GreenWrap, recycled brown paper, or re-used clean paper. All packaging materials can be composted in your home compost system, or used as sheet mulch.
All our shipping is carbon off-set.
All packaging materials we receive are re-used for postage, recycled (plastics only), or composted in our garden.
Terms and Conditions
It is your responsibility to advise us should an order delivery be later than expected, incorrect or damaged. Please contact us immediately on orders@spiralgarden.com.au. Should an order be lost in transit, damaged or incorrect, we may not send replacement items immediately. Replacement items will be despatched according to our discretion, and after consultation with the shipping carrier.
It is your responsibility to provide the correct mailing address at the time of ordering. If an incorrect address is provided and the parcel is returned to us in the post or by courier, we will notify you. Orders will be held for a maximum of 2 weeks, and then payment for your purchase will be refunded, if you have not arranged re-delivery payment by this time.
We do not accept liability for any loss or damage arising from items lost, stolen or damaged after delivery has taken place. We will not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from late delivery.
Returns
If you find an item in your order is damaged or faulty, please email us with photos and a clear description of the problem, within 7 days, to organise replacement of goods, or full refund of the product value.
We do not accept returns from customers who have simply changed their mind about a product. This is because we understand the environmental impact and waste involved in packaging and shipping parcels across the country, and aim to discourage fast and wasteful consumerism where possible. We aim to provide clear descriptions on all product listings and we're very happy to assist you in making your purchase. Please choose wisely.
