This is a known issue with Australia post. We do sometimes buy prepaid labels, and the date of purchase shows as tracking event and your parcel may show delayed notification. Please give the tracking upto 12 hours after it was sent to you to update itself. The tracking fixes itself once it has reached the Auspost sorting centre.

Paying express does not mean faster processing for your order; however, it considerably reduces the time it takes for the parcel to reach you via Auspost once it is marked as shipped. Express delivery takes 1-3 weekdays once it is sent out where, whereas a standard parcel takes 3-10 days for delivery. Your order is divided into Handling time and shipping time. Handling time is how long it takes us to prepare your order. If you order any sterilised substrate or grain bags, It takes 1-3 days to prepare as we cannot stock sterilised products in advance as they are perishable, and we want to ship you only freshly made quality bags. Once the parcel is handed over to Australia Post, the amount of time it takes them to deliver is the Shipping time. Express post plays a role here as it means they are transferred through the air and not road or rail network. If you have a request for your parcel to arrive by a particular date, please let us know, and we will try our best, but we will not guarantee that it will reach you on time. it is best to order in advance and plan accordingly.
