Shipping Policy

🚨 Important Notice for Black Friday and Busy Periods:
We are currently experiencing higher-than-usual order volumes. While we aim to process and dispatch orders promptly, delays of 1-2 business days may occur due to the high demand.

Even with Priority Dispatch, both BabiesMart and our shipping partners (e.g., Australia Post) are anticipating delays during this period. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver your orders as quickly as possible.

For the fastest possible handling, we recommend selecting Priority Dispatch or Express at checkout, but please keep in mind that some delays may still occur.

Christmas Cut-Offs

To ensure your orders arrive in time for Christmas, please refer to the lodgement dates provided by Australia Post below.

For remote or regional areas, we recommend allowing an additional two business days on top of the specified AusPost timelines. This recommendation is based on our past experiences with Australia Post to account for potential delays. However, AusPost recommends adhering to the lodgement dates listed below.

Cut-off time for these dates below is end of day - 11:59 PM.

Example:

  • For parcels going to NSW metro areas, the cut-off date is 11:59 PM, 17 December 2024 for standard shipping
  • For regional NSW, we suggest placing your order by 11:59 PM, 15 December 2024 to ensure delivery before Christmas.

While we do our best to ensure timely delivery, we highly encourage all customers in remote or regional areas to place their orders as early as possible to avoid any last-minute delays.

International Shipping: Taxes & Duties

We're committed to offering a transparent shopping experience for our international customers.

Here's a breakdown of the tax and duty rates for each destination:

  • New Zealand: All products shipped to New Zealand are Tax & Duty Free
  • Papua New Guinea: Tax: 10.00% Duties: 20.00%
  • Vanuatu: Tax: 12.50% Duties: 20.00%
  • Solomon Islands: Tax: 15.00% Duties: 20.00%
  • French Polynesia: Tax: 20.00% Duties: 20.00%
  • New Caledonia: Tax: 20.00% Duties: 20.00%

To give a clearer picture: if a product is priced at AUD 20, the tax and duties are calculated as follows: (for example for New Caledonia)

  • Tax: $4 (20% of $20)
  • Duties: $4 (20% of $20)

This means the total price displayed will be AUD 28, inclusive of all charges.

Moreover, for a seamless shopping experience, you can view product prices in your local currency. For instance, customers in New Caledonia can check out in CFPF. So, a product that's AUD 28 (inclusive of tax and duties) will be displayed as approximately CFPF 2080, making the checkout process more intuitive and familiar.
