All prices are in Australian dollars. Prices include GST unless indicated otherwise but exclude postal and handling charges. All prices are subject to change without notice.
Payment
Over the phone orders: The full payment for your order (including the product price and applicable postal charges) is deducted from your credit card on completion of your order. Delivery will commence once payment has been processed/validated. We accept payment by Visa and MasterCard. Credit card details taken over the phone are shredded 24hours after the order has been completed. We do not keep credit card details.
Availability
All goods are offered for sale subject to available stock. We do endeavour to keep up to date with what's in and out of stock. However, from time to time an item may become out of stock and this may not be reflected on our website straight away. If you have placed an order on an item that is out of stock we will contact you via email asap to either offer you a different colour or style (if applicable) or update you on when the item will become available again. For example in the case of the EquiPedic products, new orders are placed with EquiPedic approximately every 10 working days to keep up with demand. If you do not accept a substitute item and your credit card or PayPal account has been charged for an item that is out of stock, we will cancel your order and issue a credit to your credit card or PayPal account in the full amount charged. If you order goods and some are not in stock, you agree that we may fill that part of your order for which stock is available.

To find out the shipping charges that apply to you, simply add the items to your shopping cart and proceed accordingly to the checkout where the full cost will be calculated and displayed before you make any payment.
