Postage Fee and Shipping Times
POSTAGE AND HANDLING FEES
In order to provide a competitive net price for our products, we need to charge a postage and handling fee. Our postage fee structure is designed to benefit customers who order more items.
Customers have the opportunity to select the shipping service prior to paying for their order. Our minimum freight/handling charges are outlined below.
The majority of orders are packed into padded Jiffy bags for strength and protection (during transit and from the weather). Satchels or boxes may be used for bulky or larger orders.
All orders are dispatched from our Sydney office at the close of each business day.

Domestic Postage & Handling Fees
Rates are calculated according to the quantity of batteries selected due to postage being based on weight.
We have kept our domestic fees unchanged since 1 July 2009 despite sizeable increases in Australia Post’s fees over the years.
The prices for hearing aid and cochlear implant batteries exclude postage. The postage fee is listed below.
The prices for accessories and drying kits include free standard postage. Express post is an optional extra. The price of postage will be determined at the checkout as this depends on what other products you may have purchased.
