Within Australia
All plans within Australia are delivered by standard postal services, which are safe and reliable. All deliveries to major cities should occur within 1 or 2 days of posting, and even in the most remote places in Australia delivery should only be a few days at most. Delivery cost is included in the plan price.

Countries other than Australia
EXPRESS COURIER INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY 
Due to the increasing unreliability of postal services in many parts of the world, stock full building plans are sent by Express Courier International  service, where the purchase price of the plan is equal to or greater than $1000.00 AUD. Delivery cost is included in the plan price.

Due to the high cost of sending plans by courier, smaller plans with a  plan price of less than $1000.00 AUD are normally sent by International Air Mail. Should any plan be lost in transit it will be replaced. Builders may request that these plans be sent by Courier, however the cost of Courier delivery must be added to the plan price. The builder should contact us for a quote prior to purchase. 

Also due to the high cost of sending small items by Courier, standard study plans, data disks etc are sent by International Air Mail. Document portions of plans may also be sent by email upon request.

ECI deliveries must be made to a residential address, and cannot be made to a P.O. Box or Mail service. They are tracked, and must be signed for by the recipient. Where a client chooses to provide only a P.O. box or mail service, we will attempt to request a residential address by email, or else the plans will be sent by standard airmail, at our discression.

Our Carrier of choice is the Australia Post Express Courier International Service. This service delivers to 99% of countries in the world. For countries which are not covered by this service we will use other means available at our discression, but reserve the right to refuse the sale or refund the client's purchase price if we are unable to guarantee the arrival of the plans.
