SHIPPING

 
Our standard lead time to fulfil and pack all your custom items is 5-7 business days to process orders before dispatch.
For all non custom items (ex. silicone range and non personalised items), please allow approximately 2-4 business days to process orders before dispatch. 
If you are ordering a mixture of custom vs non custom items, please note handling times will be based on the custom item timelines, as we will dispatch your order as a whole once everything is complete. 
If you require your item/s to be fulfilled as a priority order (and it doesn’t fall in a peak period) please get in touch with us at hello@thedesignplanner.com.au before you make your purchase and we will do our best to speed up the process where possible. 
In peak times, such as Christmas, Easter, Valentines day, Mothers Day etc, please ensure to allow for delays as during peak times couriers are already inundated and unfortunately this is beyond our control. 
Look out on our socials for up to date lead times during peak periods so you don’t miss out.
