Standard Delivery
Due to Australia Post's ongoing increased prices, it is very sad to say that we at Gameology, are finding it is almost impossible to continue to cover their increased costs with our flat rate $10 standard shipping, that we have been offering since 2015.
We have been trying our best to negotiate the most competitive shipping rates and this pass on to our customers, even with Australia Post's increasing rates, which on average can increase between 3-6% each year.
While Gameology is doing our best to absorb some of the postage cost, we have still been forced to increase our shipping rates, though we have kept it as minimal as possible for each state outside of Victoria.
New Rates after 13th August
VIC:
$10 Flat Rate
NSW, ACT, QLD, SA & WA:
$12 Flat Rate
TAS & NT:
$14 Flat Rate
We will continue to try our best to offer the most competitive shipping price we can and provide fast dispatch and friendly service to our customers.
