Q: How long will it take to receive my order?

 A: Most orders are dispatched within 48 hours if received on a business day (9am-5pm Australian Eastern Standard time)or within 72 hours if received on a non-business day providing there are no stock shortages.

Delivery to most Australian destinations will be within 4 days.
Delivery to International destinations is usually within 10 days.
Express post option is offered for customers at checkout for next day delivery (subject to Australia Post terms and conditions)  

Courier option will be selected at our discretion depending on cost involved, how fragile order is and other factors. Wherever possible we will choose the most cost effective/safest option for customers.

Q: How much will freight cost me on my order?

 A: As you proceed through the screens to checkout you will be given a freight estimate for standard or express post.
Generally this will be the freight charged. If there is a large discrepancy, we will email you first and advise you of the increased freight charge.
Minimum freight charge is $8 and will be charged at Standard Postal rates and a small handling charge.

Please bear in mind that the freight cost on plaster pieces will be higher generally than quoted, due to the extra weight and care involved with packaging.  

Q: What are your Melbourne locations?

  A: We no longer have a permanent Melbourne store in operation, following the closure of Malvern East
However, we appear at many shopping centres during the school holidays, so you will be able to enjoy your plaster painting
Please click on our Stores Link on the left a couple of weeks prior to school holiday break and you can pick the location closest to you  

Q: Why is there no picture for the item I want?

 A: Unfortunately, due to a database size in excess of 5,000 products we have not been able to upload all pictures. If you need a particular picture, please note down the item number and email us for further details. If possible we will upload the picture for you to enable you to order. Simarly, with size measurements, most sizes should be available for the items, but if any are missing please email us

Q: How do I order a catalogue?

A: We have decided that our entire catalogue will be placed online with no paper version or CD version available.

This enables us to fully concentrate on keeping the website current with products that change on a daily basis.

We make every endeavour to ensure that if an item is out of stock then it will be removed from the website to avoid any shortages to your deliveries.

Stock levels should be shown for most items on the website.

Q: What are our opening hours?

A: Please click on the following link for full details of opening hours
Opening hours in the left margin 

Q: Why can't I see my shopping cart total?

A: Your shopping cart will appear as a mini cart on the left hand margin near the top, to allow you to continue with uninterupted shopping. We are currently reviewing this practice, so would appreciate feedback on whether you find this convenient, or whether you would prefer to see full details of cart everytime you click the Add button 

Q: I don't have a credit card, can I still purchase your products?

A: Yes, you certainly can.
There are several options available for payment of your order
When on your final order screen you have the option to select from the following payment option:-
Visa
Mastercard
American Express
I will send a cheque
Direct Deposit


I will send a cheque
This option is fine, the cheque will need to be in Australian dollars. If purchasing from outside of Australia an International cheque in Australian dollars will need to be obtained from your Bank.

Please note for customers in Australia paying by private cheque, your order will not be dispatched until clearance of the cheque through the Australian banking system (normally 5 business days)

You can also send us a money order through the post office and your order will be sent immediately upon receipt of the money order.

If paying by cheque/money order we will confirm your order price by email, and then hold the order pending receipt of payment.

DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL WE HAVE CONFIRMED TOTAL PRICE
