Orders are typically dispatched within 1-3 business days.
Once dispatched, delivery timeframes are:
- Standard (Australia): 2 to 8 business days

For pre-orders, estimated dispatch times will be advised at checkout and may differ from standard timeframes. For more information, see our Pre-Order Policy.
Delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed. While we aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible, public holidays, peak periods and carrier delays may occasionally impact processing and delivery times. If significant delays occur, we'll keep you informed.
Orders containing multiple items may be shipped in separate parcels, which may arrive at different times.
International customers
For international orders, local customs duties, import taxes or customs clearance fees may apply. These charges are set by the receiving country’s customs authority and, if applicable, will need to be paid by the person receiving the delivery before delivery can be completed.
Please note that customs processing may delay estimated delivery times and is outside of our control. We recommend that you check your country’s importation fees and restrictions before ordering.
Tracking
As soon as your parcel is on the move, you’ll receive a tracking link so you can follow its progress. If you have any questions along the way, you’re always welcome to get in touch at hello@chicsips.com.au.
