Shipping and Delivery
How does shipping and delivery work?
You’ve made an order, we are doing a small business happy dance - now what?
Once an order is placed, our team will carefully collect your products from the warehouse and package them with care and love. 99% of our orders are processed within 24 hours except for Sundays and public holidays when we have our rest days.
Sometimes there is too much love to put in one parcel so you may get multiple Paparazzo packages from our warehouse. Not to worry though, they will still be sent at the same time.
Your package will then gently be sent via our international courier to your country. Once it arrives in your country it will be handed over to the local courier for last-mile delivery.
As soon as your order is sent you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us complete with a tracking number so you can follow this magical journey. Depending on the local courier you may also receive updates via text message.
You can also sign up for shipping updates through SMS or the Shop App on the order confirmation page after your order is placed.
*Please note: all shipping timeframes are from the advertised date of dispatch. In some locations, weekend delivery is not available. Our estimates are based on business days and exclude possible customs delays. Some delays are out of our control and we ask for your patience if this occurs.

Where possible, we will update your tracking number to the local courier to enable you to track your package accurately.
If your order is being sent in 2 or more packages, you will receive multiple tracking numbers advising which items are in which package.

Help, I think my order is lost/hasn’t been delivered?
Think your order might be lost in transit or stolen? Although we quote accurate delivery estimates based on recent orders, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may update to advise of ‘delayed’ delivery date.
If your item still hasn’t been delivered within 30 days, please contact us and we can launch an investigation.

After investigation, If your package has been confirmed lost or stolen, we will send a new order to you. We may require proof of loss from the courier depending on the situation.
*Please note: Once we pass your order to our International courier your package is with a different provider. We completely understand delays are frustrating, however, once your order is with the courier, any issues need to be investigated by the International or local post. We can contact them on your behalf to resolve any issues, however the fastest way to content the local post office directly.
