General Shipping info:

• We aim to have all ready to ship orders packaged and sent out as soon as possible, typically within 1-4 business days. We try to post orders twice per week and lodge them over the counter for accurate tracking. 
• If your order contains "made to order" items or "pre-order" items, your order will be shipped according to the times on the product description. 
• If you order includes in-stock and pre-order items, your order will not ship until all items are available. If you need parts of your order sooner, please order separately.
• Express Post for Australian orders is now offered as an option at checkout. Please check with Aus Post for delivery estimates from Perth Metro.  
• We will provide tracking details with all orders so you can keep an eye on estimated date of arrival of your order.
• If you are local to Perth, Little Bambino Bear now offer free local pick up from Cardup, WA 6122. Please select this option at checkout and I will be in touch within 1-3 business days to arrange a suitable time for contactless pick up from my home. If you need your order urgently, please get in touch before you place your order and I will advise if I can accomodate. In most cases this will be no problem. We may be able to offer same day pick up!
• Please be advised that any delays after we have shipped your order are outwith our control and unfortunately do appear to be happening globally regardless of which courier or business is involved. However we will do whatever we can to help track and find delayed parcels if you alert us to any issues.

Packaging
At Little Bambino Bear we care about the environment and are committed to trying to reduce plastic waste in our packaging. As a result, our cushions will no longer be sent in cellophane bags, but beautifully wrapped in brown paper. We previously used plastic to offer a layer of protection to your cushions in transit, however we have been carrying out research and listening to the community, and the majority of consumers agree that less plastic packaging is better. We will be phasing out our plastic satchels also and sourcing a more sustainable option, but in the interim, orders will be sent out in our remaining stock of courier bags.

Busy periods
During busy periods (Xmas, public holidays, sales etc), please allow up to an extra week for processing and/or delivery due to a higher than normal volume of orders to process.

Delays, Lost or Stolen parcels
We accept no responsibility for any delays, lost or stolen parcels caused by the designated postal service. If this does however occur, please get in touch with us and we will do whatever we can to help rectify any issues and contact Australia Post to lodge an investigation. In over 8 years we haven't lost a parcel yet (*touches wood!!!!). 

International orders
We now ship all international orders with Registered Post and tracking details will be sent by email once your parcel is posted. For orders placed out with Australia, please also be aware of your own countries importing and customs regulations. Little Bambino Bear cannot be held responsible for any extra charges or delays relating to importing our products.

We now ship to USA and Canada! Only certain products (Decorative Cushions and Wall Decor), can be shipped to USA and Canada at this time. If you place an order with any additional items, you will need to remove these items before you can checkout.
