Shipping

When will my order ship? 

Needle minder - 5-10 business days

PDF patterns - Instant after purchase for download

During busy periods or where there are public holidays, this may cause some delays to dispatch. 

 

How long will it take for my order to reach me? An average of up to five business days within Australia, and ten business days internationally.  

Who is responsible for watching the tracking? The customer is responsible for watching the progress of their tracking number and reporting if the tracking is outside of the delivery window, or appears to have stopped moving and being scanned. Unconventional X Stitch does not monitor tracking, and we have a limited window to be able to report packages as lost. Once this window closes we are unable to launch any investigation or claim a lost package. 

Does my order have tracking and insurance? All orders have insurance and tracking. 

Will I have import taxes? This is dependent on your country's import laws. Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. We are not responsible for any import tax duties or otherwise applicable to your shipments. Please do not ask us to falsify documentation, as it may offend when we refuse. 

If you don't pay your import taxes and duties, or claim your shipment and the shipment is returned to us, then unfortunately, you will be liable for the cost of any fines, shipping costs and any other expenses that arise due to failure to pay duties or collect. You will not be covered under our returns policy, as this is classified as a Unauthorised Return. You also accept that in some instances, failure to pay taxes/duties may result in the shipment being destroyed rather than returned, in which case you will be asked to pay any fines/costs associated with this. 

What happens if my items arrive damaged? Please ensure that you make us aware within 24hrs of delivery that your shipment has arrived damaged. Keep all packaging and products, as these may be required in order to effect any claims, and take photos. You may also be required to present to a postal outlet in order to lodge a formal damages claim. If you do not retain any part of the shipment, and do not present to a postal outlet where required, then we will not be able to assist you in any claims made for damages. An investigation will be required for items that arrive damaged. Once items damaged in transit have been investigated, Australia Post will approve the claim and we will be able to refund to you the value of your order only for damaged parts of the order, or where the entire order is damaged, a full refund will be issued.

Sellers rights to cancellation: We may cancel, at any time before delivery and for whatever reason, an order that we have previously accepted, including but not limited to where there is a considerable delay in dispatching your order, if for any reason we cannot supply the products you order or if products ordered were subject to an error on our website (for example but not limited to in relation to a description, price or image). We reserve the right to cancel an order where customers are threatening or abusive. 

 

I'd like to change my order

We do not accept changes to orders once they are made. 

 

I'd like to cancel my order

We do not accept cancellations. All orders are final. 

 

Kits:

Free gifts will vary depending on availability of stock at the time. 

Free gifts are not included during any sale events. 

We will pack as many kits as possible per box (this is really important as it helps keep shipping prices low and our carbon footprint small).

Return without Approved Returns Claim: An unauthorised return is where a customer for any reason has an order returned without having first lodged and been authorised to return the order. This can include, but is not limited to failure to pay duties taxes, failure to collect from customs, fails to collect from postal outlet. You will be liable for the cost of any fines, shipping costs and any other expenses that arise when a return is not authorised. You will not be covered under our returns policy / satisfaction guarantees as it does not meet the requirements. You accept that in some instances, failure to pay taxes/duties or attempting to return without contacting us to make arrangements and check entitlements first, may result in the shipment being destroyed rather than returned, in which case you will be asked to pay any fines/costs associated with this and no store-credit/refund etc will be entitled. Where the shipment is returned in as new condition, a restock fee of 10% of product value will be deducted, in addition to the fees/charges incurred in the process of accepting payment (eg PayPal fees charged to accept the payment), as well as any shipping supplies that cannot be reused. The remaining balance will be provided as a store-credit. The 10% restock fee covers our time and expense or accepting the return and restocking. Where the return is damaged/tampered with, an assessment will be made on if it is still sailable and the value adjusted to reflect it's condition. No store-credit will be available as our insurance only covers sending the product to it's original destination. The damaged goods will be destroyed as they will be classified as unsalable. If the return is a custom item, no financial compensation will be available to you. If you elect to have the shipment sent to you again, a second shipping fee will be payable by you before the shipment can be sent again. As we subsidise the shipping fees on our website, please also be aware that the second shipment fee will not qualify for the subsidies and will be more than our advertised rates. Any store-credit applicable will require you to have an account with us. 

How to lodge your return: If you need to return an item, please Contact Us with your order number and details about the product you would like to return BEFORE shipping it back. We will respond quickly with instructions on how to return items from your order. Failure to lodge a return first will be classified as a forced return.

Who pays return shipping? The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.

 

My Order Was Stolen

It is not recommended that authority to leave without signature is used, though can be at the customer discretion. Where a customer authorises their order to be left without a signature, all insurances are voided as the customer accepts the risks associated. 

If your order was marked as delivered, but you did not receive your order, you may be required to file a Police Report in the event that your order is deemed stolen, and provide this report to us as evidence. This is for insurance purposes, in order to make a claim and have an investigation conducted.
