Can I pick up my goods directly from Crafts4you?
Crafts4you is an Australian company based in Western
Australia that focusses on providing quality craft products and gifts with personalized service at a competitive price over the internet. This is proven by our many clients who purchase our products from around Australia and overseas. We chose not to have a traditional storefront and have simplified our postage and handling cost structure to ensure that every customer receives value for money. This means that our local customers save travel time and fuel costs and orders from more distant customers are despatched very promptly (same day where possible). Pick up of your order from our offices is by appointment only.

Do your prices include Australian GST (Goods and Services tax)?
Crafts4you include Australian GST (10%) in
the price of all items. If you are purchasing from overseas, Australian GST is
deducted at the final stage of the checkout process. Delivery charges are GST inclusive for Australian states and territories and GST exclusive for all other destinations.

How quickly will my order be processed and is the stock available?
Crafts4you aim to fulfil your order and despatch it by close of the next business day. When this is not possible one of our staff will contact you via email, fax or phone as soon as practicable.
Crafts4you work hard to ensure that the inventory is up to date and that items so marked are in stock. However, we fill orders on a chronological basis and, if an item has proved very popular this item maybe on back order.
Delivery of some items, for example exquisite tapestries and stitching kits, may take 5+ days for interstate and 30+ days for overseas sourced product.
If an item you have ordered is out of stock, our friendly Crafts4you staff will advise you with a projected delivery date. If this timeframe is not suitable, you may request a refund or substitute another item.

I do not know what to order, do you have gift certificates?
Crafts4you offer two levels of gift certificate: A$20 and A$50. These gift certificates are uniquely identified and may be purchased and sent to friends or relatives for use against purchases from crafts4you website products. Gift certificates are not redeemable for cash and no credit is given if the cost of the goods is less than the value of the certificate. The instructions on how to use the gift certificate are printed on each certificate.

I live overseas, how can I order from you?
Crafts4you staff have extensive experience working and travelling outside Australia and welcome the opportunity to assist in fulfilling the craft needs and requirements of yourself and friends. We welcome overseas clients and have the following general comments for your review.
Orders exported to destinations outside Australia and it's territories do not currently attract Australian GST (10%). Our store prices
include GST (ie cost + 10%), however, subject to the appropriate regulations and documentation, Crafts4you deduct GST from your final
shopping cart total when overseas billing and delivery address details are provided.
We use Australia Post for overseas delivery services and our charges are GST exempt.
Shipping/postage costs can be prohibitive on overseas orders and we will work with you to balance cost versus delivery time. Fax or email a fax/mail order form to us and we will send a return email quoting shipping charges and estimated delivery time.
Australians purchasing goods within Australia and traveling overseas are subject to paying GST at the time of purchase and applying for a GST rebate as they depart Australia. These policies are implemented by the Federal Government and information is publicly available. Crafts4you will not deduct GST from orders being delivered within Australian States and territories unless exemption certification can be validated. The above is not taxation advice and crafts4you and/or its agents will not be liable for any taxation or customs issues that arise from your purchases.
