Australian Customers

Registered post is mandatory for all parcels containing multiple items that exceed a combined value of $50.00 AUD. 

Please ensure that the $2.75 registered post fee is added to your payment if this applies to your order.

Registered post includes insurance up to a value of $100.00 AUD. Additional insurance is available for a fee of $1.25 per additional $100.00 or part thereof.

All individual items that exceed $50.00 AUD in value will have the cost of registered post included in the postage & handling costs.

Registered post is also optional for items & parcels under $50.00 in value for a $2.75 fee.  Please ensure that you add the applicable fee to your payment if you wish to take up this option.

International postal insurance is mandatory for all parcels exceeding $50.00 AUD in value and includes insurance up to a value of $100.00 AUD.  Additional insurance is available for a fee of $2.00 per $100.00 AUD or part thereof.

All individual items that exceed $50.00 AUD in value will have the cost of international insurance already included in the postage & handling costs.

Generally, all orders are despatched using Australia Post within 5 business days of confirmed receipt of your payment.  However, occasional delays may occur and you will be notified if this applies to your order.

Domestic parcels misplaced by Australia Post

If your parcel has not been delivered after a period of 10 business days from the date of posting, please contact ARB Games.  An official Customer Service Complaint form will be lodged with Australia Post on your behalf as a matter of courtesy.  Australia Post will then commence an investigation into your missing parcel and this process usually takes approximately 6 weeks to complete. 

If a missing parcel cannot be located, Australia Post may decide to issue compensation up to a value of $50.00 AUD.  Please note that compensation is not mandatory for any missing parcel sent via normal post and any decision to award compensation is entirely at Australia Post’s discretion.

However, compensation is mandatory for all missing parcels that have been sent with Registered Post, up to a value of $100.00 (or higher if additional insurance has been paid for).

ARB Games will send a free replacement for your missing order, if and when compensation is received from Australia Post.
