1. Accepted Payment Methods
We currently accept the following payment methods:
- PayPal — pay using your PayPal balance, linked bank account or a card stored in your PayPal account.
- Visa and Mastercard — credit and debit cards, processed through a secure third-party payment provider.
The payment methods available to you are confirmed on the checkout page before you complete your order, and may vary depending on your location, the value of your order and your payment provider. Payment options shown at checkout always take precedence over this page.
2. Payment Security
Your payment security is our priority. All transactions on this website are processed through secure, industry-standard payment systems operated by third-party payment providers, including PayPal and our card processing partners.
- All data exchanged during checkout is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS encryption.
- Card payments are processed by providers that comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
- We do not store your complete payment card details on this website. Your full card number, expiry date and security code (CVV) are handled directly by the payment provider and are never visible to us.
- Depending on your bank or card issuer, you may be asked to verify your payment through an additional authentication step (such as a one-time code sent to your phone) before the transaction is approved.
3. Payment Authorisation
By placing an order on this website, you confirm that:
- The payment information you provide is accurate, current and valid;
- You are the authorised holder of, or have permission to use, the payment method selected;
- You authorise us to charge the full order value, including any applicable shipping charges, to that payment method;
- Sufficient funds or credit are available to complete the transaction.
Your order will not be dispatched until payment has been successfully received and confirmed by our payment provider.
4. Order Confirmation
Once your payment has been completed successfully, you will receive an order confirmation email containing your order number, the items purchased and the total amount paid.
If you do not receive a confirmation email, or if we do not receive payment confirmation from our provider, your order may not be processed. In that case, please check your spam or junk folder first, then contact us and we will check the status of your order and payment.

Prices on this website can be displayed in either Australian Dollars (AUD) or United States Dollars (USD). You can switch between the two using the currency selector on the site, and the currency you are actually charged in is confirmed on the checkout page before you complete your order. The amount charged to your payment method is the order total shown at checkout, plus any shipping charges that apply to your order. All prices include GST where applicable.
If your card, bank account or PayPal account is held in a currency other than the one your order is charged in, your bank or payment provider may apply a currency conversion fee or an overseas transaction fee. These charges are set by your provider and are your responsibility. We do not receive any part of them and are unable to reverse or reimburse them. Where prices are displayed in USD they are converted for your convenience and may be rounded, so the amount shown in your cart or on the product page may differ very slightly from the amount confirmed at checkout.
6. Failed, Declined and Pending Payments
If your payment cannot be processed, the checkout will normally show a decline message and no order will be created. This can happen for a number of reasons, including insufficient funds, an expired card, an incorrect billing address, a card limit, or a security block applied by your bank.
What to do if your payment is declined
- Check that your card number, expiry date, security code and billing address have been entered exactly as they appear on your statement.
- Try a different payment method, such as PayPal or another card.
- Contact your bank or card issuer — they can usually tell you why the transaction was blocked and may be able to release the block.
- If the problem continues, contact us and we will help you complete your order.
Pending authorisations
When a payment is attempted, your bank may place a temporary authorisation hold on the funds even if the order is not completed. This is controlled by your bank, not by us. These holds are normally released automatically within 5–7 business days, although some card issuers may take longer. If a hold does not clear, please contact your bank in the first instance.
7. Refunds
Where a refund is approved under our Refund & Return Policy, it will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase. We are not able to send refunds to a different card, account or person.
- Refunds are processed by us within 1–2 business days of approval.
- Once processed, refunds to cards normally appear on your statement within 5–10 business days, depending on your card issuer.
- Refunds to PayPal are usually credited to your PayPal balance shortly after processing, but can take longer if the original payment was funded by a card or bank account.
- Refunds are issued in the currency you paid in, for the amount originally paid. Any difference caused by exchange rate movements or provider fees is outside our control.
Refund processing times are set by your bank or payment provider, not by us. If your refund has been confirmed by our team but has not appeared after 10 business days, please check with your bank before contacting us again — in most cases the funds have already been released on our side.
8. Chargebacks and Disputed Transactions
If you do not recognise a charge, or believe an amount is incorrect, please contact us first before raising a dispute or chargeback with your bank or PayPal. In most cases we can identify the payment and resolve the issue much faster than a formal dispute.
Charges for orders placed on this website appear on your statement under the descriptor applied by our payment provider. If you see a charge you do not recognise, please email us the date, amount and last four digits of the card used, and we will trace it for you.
Where a chargeback is raised without contacting us first, we may be required to provide the order and delivery records to the payment provider as part of the dispute process.
9. Contact Us
For any payment enquiry, including failed payments, refund status or unrecognised charges, please contact us:

- We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24–48 business hours.

10. Changes to This Payment Policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add or remove a payment method or if our payment providers change how transactions are processed. The version published on this page applies to orders placed after the date of the update.
Nothing in this Payment Policy limits, excludes or restricts any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
