SHIPPING
We pride ourselves on offering a reliable shipping experience within Australia and worldwide. Below you'll find our delivery options, timeframes, and rates for all domestic and international orders.
In-stock orders are packed and dispatched within 1-2 business days. Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive tracking details via email.
Please ensure all details provided at checkout are correct - including your email address, shipping address and contact number. Incorrect or incomplete information may delay your order and prevent tracking updates from reaching you.
Before placing your order, verify that your email address, shipping address, and contact number are correct. Once submitted, orders cannot be changed. Since orders ship quickly, we cannot guarantee we’ll see any change requests or emails in time to update your address or other details before dispatch. Providing accurate information is also crucial to avoid delays and ensure you receive delivery notifications.
Please note: During peak sale periods, long weekends and product launches, dispatch and delivery times may be slightly delayed. We appreciate your patience during these busier times.
If you're not home to receive your order and haven't organised an alternative collection method, the package may be returned to us. If this happens, we'll notify you via email.
Please note: any return shipping costs incurred will be payable by the customer. Re-shipping costs are also payable by the customer, and original shipping fees are non-refundable.

CUSTOMS IMPORT DUTY & TAXES
International orders may be subject to customs duties, taxes, import fees or other charges upon arrival in the destination country. These charges are determined by local customs authorities and are the responsibility of the customer.
MÉLANI does not collect, control or determine these charges and cannot predict if, when, or how much you may be charged. If you are unsure of the potential costs associated with importing your order, we recommend contacting your local customs office prior to placing your order.
UNPAID CUSTOMS & UNCLAIMED PARCELS
If customs duties, taxes or import fees are not paid, or a shipment is unclaimed, the courier may attempt to contact the customer or arrange redelivery. If the parcel remains unclaimed or the required charges are not paid, the parcel may be returned to sender, abandoned, destroyed or otherwise disposed of in the destination country at the discretion of the courier or local authorities.
MÉLANI is not responsible for parcels that are abandoned, destroyed, disposed of or otherwise unable to be returned to us due to unpaid customs charges or the customer's failure to accept or claim the shipment. In these circumstances, we are unable to offer compensation or a refund.
REJECTED PARCELS & RETURN TO SENDER
If you choose to reject or refuse delivery of your parcel due to customs duties, taxes or other import fees, you must notify the courier directly that you are refusing the parcel and requesting that it be returned to sender.
Once the courier has been notified, the parcel will be processed as a return to sender. The courier may require additional paperwork or authorisation to facilitate the return, which will be provided to MÉLANI where applicable.
The customer is responsible for all return-to-sender costs and fees incurred as a result of refusing or rejecting the parcel. This may include return shipping charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, handling fees, storage fees and any other charges applied by the courier or customs authorities.
If a parcel is returned to MÉLANI, we will not issue a refund while the parcel is still in transit or before it has been received back at our warehouse.
Once the parcel has been received at our warehouse, we will wait for any applicable return-to-sender invoices or charges associated with the shipment before processing the refund.
Any return-to-sender fees or other charges incurred will be deducted from the customer's refund.
Please note that original shipping costs are non-refundable, including where a customer chooses to reject a parcel due to customs fees.
MÉLANI is not responsible for any delays that occur while a parcel is being returned to us, and a refund cannot be processed until the parcel has been successfully received back at our warehouse and any applicable return-to-sender charges have been confirmed.
If you have any further questions regarding international shipping, please contact us via email at INFO@MELANITHELABEL.COM.
