Where We Ship
We are currently only shipping to Australia, thanks to you know who. If you are a New Zealand based customer, please contact us at info@rovingsouth.com.au or +61 402 149 404 and we will see what we can do. We use Australia Post for almost all shipping, and all shipping is tracked. Drop shipped items are sent via FedEx (Ashford & Schacht) or NZ Post (Majacraft).
When We Ship
We ship Monday - Friday via our local post office. Our local post office is a rural post office, outgoing shipments have to be lodged by 9:30 am. Any orders received are usually shipped next day. Friday and weekend orders are shipped on Mondays (public holidays excluded).

Most orders ship anywhere in Australia for a flat $12 Parcel Post or $15 Express Post.
Some items cost more to send. You'll see the exact charge at checkout before you pay.

Pickup
Free pickup from the studio in Mole Creek. Contact us to arrange a time.
Packaging
Because we receive a large amount of stock, we re-purpose/re-use all packing material in order to reduce packaging going to landfill. We use AU Post mailers and boxes in order to reduce shipping costs.
