• We ship every business day, on occasion we may post the same day but expect it to be shipped on the next business day with tracking.
• We offer Express Post & International Shipping.
• Where an item exceeds Australia Post weights or dimensions, we utilise a courier. In this case we are unable to ship to PO Boxes.
• Items are packed in padded bubble mailers, with exception of thin paperbacks or magazines or DVDs that are sent in cardboard envelopes.
• Large book sets are carefully packaged in boxes with packaging material to elimate movement.

If we still can't solve the issue and you need to return your item, you can! Contact us within 30 days of the purchase for returns. Thereafter, we do not accept returns. Shipping costs are at the buyers expense.

We utilise the following packaging:

• We use a Landfill-biodegradable bundling wrap to quickly secure and bundle items to avoid damage during transit. It can be recycled or disposed of in the general rubbish bin. Once disposed to landfill biodegradation is accelerated approximately 90+% faster than conventional bundling wrap, producing an organic matter (a natural fertiliser) and no microplastics. We're so Happy about this!
• Our plain padded bubble mailers are suitable for kerbside paper collection and recycling.
• All of our satchels are recyclable through the REDcycle program.
• All of our satchels are made from 80% recycled content plastic.
• All of our envelopes can be recycled. Yay!

Reselling brings great satisfaction knowing that I can pair an item with a person, keeping it from landfill. This store also provides a great opportunity for me to teach my children how finances work and the basis of entrepreneurism.

I'm not afraid of hard work and enjoy buying and selling used items. I'm happy to network with like minded people and get a lot of satisfaction mentoring new business owners.

When I'm not picking stock, I'm usually out sailing or spending quality time with my family. I have a passion for antiques so you may see them in my store from time to time.
