DAMAGED & LOST MAIL: All items over $10 are sent with Tracking and Insurance. If your item is lost in the post, you need to contact Auspost directly to claim your insurance.

FRAGILE MAIL: If you require a Fragile Service, you will need to find a courier company that offers this service. Australia Post Extra Cover Insurance will cover you for loss only.
