Shipping Policy:

We strive to provide you with the most efficient shipping options suitable for the products you purchase. We take great care with the shipping and packaging of your order, however we are unable to take responsibility for heat affected products in remote destinations.

We are unable to ship orders to P.O. Boxes and recommend having the order shipped to a location where you will be able to receive the order once it arrives.

 

Damaged/Broken Items:

If a product arrives to you unreasonably damaged, we will offer you an exchange of the item or store credit in the value of the damaged item.

Our macarons are very delicate creations. We pack our Mailable Macarons in a custom plastic blister tray insert which is then fitted within a solid gift box. This packaging will reduce breakage and exposure to heat and humidity, however, please be aware that slight breakage may occur during transportation.

 

Shipping Methods:

We use Australia Post to ship all of our products. Once an order is received, the item is shipped from our head office in Richmond (3121, Victoria) within 1–2 business days.

Our Mariage Frères tea items can be shipped by Australia Post’s Regular or Express shipping service. Insurance from Australia Post can be purchased for larger items such as our gift sets or teapots by contacting our head office.

Our Chocolate Dragées and Mailable Macarons must be shipped using Express Post. It is advisable to check whether your postcode falls within the Express Post National Network before ordering.

Please note:

  • In the event that the parcel cannot be delivered, a card will be left by Australia Post with details on how pick-up can be arranged
  • We only ship food items between Monday to Thursday morning

Product Information:

Our Chocolate Dragées products are all labelled with a Best Before date. They should be stored in a cool (preferably between 12 degrees to 18 degrees) and dry environment.

While most of our other macarons should be eaten within 2-3 days from the date of purchase, our Fleur de Sel macarons are the one exception due their low moisture content. These are still fine to consume after 2-3 weeks.

  • Queensland: 2–3 business days
  • Northern Territory: 3–5 business days
