Tracking:
For shipping within Australia and internationally, tracking details will be provided via email once the order is shipped. These tracking details will allow you to track your delivery via the assigned postal authority. Australia Post and DHL Express are the delivery services used to track your item.
For certain products shipping arrangements require a signature on delivery or arrangements can be made to have the item left at your address. If you are not home to receive the delivery, a postal card will be left allowing you to collect the item from your local post office. Please note that neither Mara Blak or couriers are liable for any loss or damage incurred after a parcel is left at your address unattended. Mara Blak is not responsible, nor do we have control over, any delays associated with the postal service once your order has been shipped and a tracking number issued.
Items Shipped Separately:
Orders including multiple items may arrive in two separate parcels (please do not be concerned if your items arrive individually) and one may arrive sooner than the other. This is because our talented artisans are located all over the world and your chosen pieces, in particular the handmade bead necklaces are coming from different locations.
Packaging:
All jewellery items are carefully inspected and securely packaged before shipment to ensure they are in perfect condition and to prevent breakage in transit. All jewellery comes in a complimentary gift box which is wrapped in bubble wrap for protection before dispatch.
Handbags are packaged in a poly bag and wrapped in plastic for protection.
