Postage Options  

Postage rates are listed on each item for standard Australia Post delivery .
We can combine your goods and offer you a cheaper rate if you buy multiple items.
In these cases the most expensive post value item is charged followed by a 60% discount on the postage of all other items in the same order.
The final shipping cost for all purchases is shown at the checkout for your approval before you make a payment.
No goods will be shipped until full payment including postage is received.

If you want your order sent via Registered/Insured and or a form of traceable mail please request so during the checkout process by ticking the boxes.
This will cost slightly more obviously but provides peace of mind should anything get damaged or go missing.
If the cost of purchased goods, single or combined is $200 or over your package must be registered, the checkout process will force this to happen.
This way there is no problems should any items go missing , we can simply track and find out where they are and or lodge a claim if anything goes missing or is damaged.
If you do not register or insure your package and the package goes missing it will be your responsibility - no refund will be given.

Most orders are generally shipped within 48 hours of confirmation of your final payment , please allow 5-7 working days for delivery to your area, in the cases of remote areas and NT and WA please allow a little longer.
In most cases it will be faster than this and generally around 3 to 4 working days.

All prices shown are in Australian Dollars and include GST.

Estimate Of Postage Costs

This is of course relative to item size and weight , but in general:
Very Small items that can go in a post pack = about $4
Small Items that can go in a large post pack = about $7
Large items that are boxed like stocks etc = around $15

Additionally
Registered Post is about $3 per package and is insured to a value of $100
 additional insurance is roughly $1.40 for every $100 over the initial $100 covered.

Firearms - usually around $40-$50 - this depends on the location and of course the insured value.
The more expensive it is the more it cost.
We will only send firearms to licenced dealers - Registered and Insured !!

SPECIAL NOTICE:
Australia Post will not accept parcels of a length longer than 105cm.
This means that firearms will be removed from the stocks or the butt stock removed only (to make things smaller) (they are carefully padded and packed for postage purposes), and if new may not be supplied in the original length shipping carton.
In some cases particularly old military rifles like, Lee Enfield - Long Toms , Swedish Mausers etc that are still too long even after breaking down
If this is the case please call for a Courier Quote.
Note that Courier will be significantly more expensive especially to remote areas and NT and WA.

International Postage
Sorry but we do not deal outside Australia.
Our governments laws and postal issues just make it to hard and too expensive.
