Our 2-hour delivery pricing starts from $10 not matter what you order. Note we are ALWAYS trying to negotiate better delivery rates, but due to the super fragile nature of our goods, our rates are generally higher than standard courier rates in Sydney as special vehicles and extra care needs to be taken.

Please note OFF-PEAK Delivery is available for most of Metro Sydney. Due to the large number of fragile deliveries we will not consider your 2-hr preferred time in the cart if you choose an OFF-PEAK option.
