Damaged Goods

We endeavor to ensure all products are of the highest standard and a full description is available on this website. However we understand that there may be times when a product may contain a manufacturing defect or not meet your expectations. In the unfortunate event that your item arrives faulty or damaged on delivery we will either repair, replace or refund. You must notify us within seven days of the fault by email to [email protected] and we will organise the return, please note we will not cover the shipping cost of the item.

Back Orders

If a product you order is temporarily out of stock, you may wish to place it on back-order. You will be advised of the expected dispatch date either by phone or email and the product will be sent to you as soon as it becomes available. You will not be charged any additional delivery costs for back-ordered items delivered to you at a later date. Your credit card will not be charged for back-ordered items until they are dispatched, however for security reasons, all cheques will be banked on receipt.

Unfortunately, shipping is expensive, however we have tried our best to create fair shipping rates depending on the size of your order:

Order Value = Shipping Rate

$0 – $50 = $10.95

$51 – $100 = $15.95

$101 – $300 = $22.95

$301 – $500 = $29.95

$501 and over =$49.95

The Sensory Store endeavors to ship your order promptly. All goods will be dispatched via Australia Post or by using a courier service once an order is placed and payment received. Once the product has been dispatched, you will receive an email from the deliverer with the tracking details, you can then track your order through to delivery.

Most orders are received by customers within 5-10 business days. Our delivery times are indicative only. Postage and Handling charges are added after you have finished shopping and will be shown separately.
