Shipping and Refund Policy
Order Processing Times
For custom orders, It will take approximately 5-10days to make your order depending on current order volume before your product is shipped out.
For In Stock/Ready to ship products, they will be shipped within 3 days of ordering.
Please make a note on the cart page if you require urgent shipping I am happy to accomodate.
Packaging
As an eco business, the environment is considered in all of my decisions. Therefore your products will be packaged in either repurposed, compostable or recyclable packaging. I would appreciate if you could dispose of these items in the most environmentally friendly way.
Shipping Partners
For Domestic orders, your products are shipped via Australia Post or Sendle, depending which option you choose at checkout. Sendle is not the carrier itself but the agent, they will arrange your delivery with either Couriers Please or Amarex - this selection is under 'Courier'.
For Snack Bags and Swim Nappies - 'NO tracking' can be selected. Please be aware your products will be sent via envelope with Australia Post's letter service at our own risk, and these envelopes can not be tracked
Shipping Times
For domestic orders: Shipping times vary depending on location. Branches Of Me is located on the NSW Central Coast. Therefore metro Sydney can expect their order within 2-3 days, regional 3-5 days and interstate 5-14 days. For WA please allow up to 14days.
