The following answers to our Frequently Asked Questions may help you with your purchase from Shop GnomeAngel, if you can't find your answer here be sure to contact our Customer Service Team. We look forward to helping you!
Where is your store located?
We have shipping locations in both Australia and the US. This enables us to ship orders to customers from the location that best suits their needs and helps us cut down on shipping times. Our business is run out of Australia.
SHIPPING
What are your shipping rates?
We send all out domestic parcels via Australia Post Flat Rate Satchels. We do this for a number of reasons, but the main ones are:
-
Free Tracking. We want you to be able to track your items from the moment they leave our hands to the moment they get in yours and so this is a must-have service for us.
-
Consistent Pricing. We understand that if we sent items as letters that we might be able to save you a dollar or two, but technically none of what we're sending you is a letter and so we don't want to run the risk of your item being damaged, returned to us or you having to pay extra to pick up your item.

I live locally, can I pick up my order to save on shipping?
Unfortunately we do not offer it at this time.
Do you ship Internationally?
We do! Shipping rates for non-US international parcels are available at checkout. Again, we ship using the Australia Post International Post Standard or Express shipping options for non-continental USA countries. Non-continental USA International shipping comes with tracking and is delivered in approximately 6+ business days to major metro areas.
Within the continental USA we ship via USPS and there is no tracking provided.
We cannot control the time it takes for your parcel to clear customs and be delivered. It's one of the reasons we opt for this option when sending because, in our experience, it gives you the best chance of getting your parcel quickly.
We are not responsible for any duties, taxes or fees associated with your importing of goods. We will clearly mark the shipping labels as goods and list the value that you paid for it on there. Please do not ask us to lie on the labels to help you avoid paying duties/taxes/customs charges as refusal can be embarrassing for everybody.
If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll talk with you about what your options are.

I received a small refund on my order, what happened?
Sometimes things happen where you were able to order something but we didn't have it in stock, or we only had a partial amount in stock. On the rare occasion that this happens we'll refund you and send you an email to let you know about the refund.
