frequently asked questions - FAQ

All prices quoted here are in Australian Dollars

What are the sizes of charms?
The full size catalogue pages are an A4 size i.e. 210mm x 297mm and the items are 1:1 on the page, so you can gauge the size of the page as it displays on your computer screen to estimate the size of the items.

What finishes are available and are there any price differences?
Nearly all stampings and some charms are available in raw Brass, 24kt Gold Plate or Nickel Plate(which is similar in colour to chrome and not as white as silver). Castings are available in 24kt Gold Plate, Nickel or Pewter. Some items are stocked in an Antique Gold or Antique Silver finish such as columns, purse frames, and other finishes are available on these items but minimums would apply. All other items are available in Antique finishes, but a $5.00 antiquing charge applies per order for any quantity of items. All other finishes such as Brass Plate, Silver Plate, Black Nickel etc. are available, but minimums and extra charges may apply.

Do you have a minimum order?
Yes and No. For retail orders there is no minimum to purchase. For wholesale orders within Australia the minimum order value is $30.00 before GST and postage, and Overseas, it is $50.00 before postage.

When I place an order, how long does it take before you send it?
We endeavour to keep all the items in stock so can dispatch your order within a few days. If some items are out of stock, your order will be sent out and the balance placed on backorder (only in Australia and if total value is over $15.00). If your order needs to be made up then it may take up to the following week to despatch to you. We can advise expected delivery when you place the order.

How long does it take for a parcel to get to me?
Depends on the mail service used. In Australia you should receive the goods the next day after despatch, if going to a capital city, else could take up to a week for outlying areas. To overseas destinations, parcels are sent per Airmail parcel post, and you should allow about two weeks, though smaller parcels may take only a week to arrive.

What is the cost of shipping?
Postage on retail orders within Australia, is at cost so the minimum is around $2.20 for a small parcel, which includes receipted delivery. For wholesale orders, postage is based on order value which includes handling charge and receipted delivery, e.g. orders up to $49 in value(before GST) postage is $4.95, up to $99 is $6.05, up to $249 is $9.90 and above is $13.20(Postage prices quoted are inclusive of GST). Overseas orders are at cost with a minimum charge on a small parcel of $6.50 plus insurance.
