Shipping & Returns
PLEASE CONSIDER OUR ENVIRONMENT & CARBON FOOTPRINT OF ONLINE SHOPPING & RETURNS.
PRODUCTION
Each piece is handcrafted-to-order and dispatched from Sydney, Australia. Please allow 2-3 business days for the products to be made before shipment. To expedite your order to be posted within 24 business hours use our "Prioritise my order + Express" shipping option.
Pieces may appear slightly different from the items shown online due to natural formations and their handmade nature.
Any single item valued at over $120 will come in our signature jewellery boxes. If the total value of an order is valued over $120, we will combine two or more items into one box. Single items under $120 in value will come on a jewellery card with a microfibre pouch.
SHIPPING
Once an item is shipped, we sadly no longer have any control over your package. But if your package is lost in transit or arrives damaged, we will assist you to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund for packages late in transit as Australia Post does not offer such a guarantee.
We are unable to compensate or refund for stolen packages or any uncollected packages that have been confirmed as "delivered" by the relevant postal company as the insurance is no longer applicable.
All our packages are marked with "Authority to Leave" where possible or will be taken to your nearest depot for collection. If uncollected, the parcel will be returned to The Traveller Series. You may request a resend, but this will incur a re-delivery fee payable by you.
Deliveries outside of Australia may incur customs or import taxes. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for any additional fees as they are out of our control. Please refer to your country's policy for further information.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
Please make sure you enter the correct delivery address, which must include a secure place to leave your parcel. Kindly note that once your order has been placed online, we are unable to make amendments to your product or delivery details. You are advised to check your Traveller Series item as soon as it has been delivered.
