SHIPPING & DELIVERY

All domestic retail orders are shipped via USP or FedEx and upon ordering customers automatically give authority for their order to be left unattended at their delivery address. Korango will only replace orders sent using these methods provided the order is proved lost in transit by the delivery service company.

From time to time factors such as order size, weight and/or shipping address may require us to ship via another method. Korango reserves the right to change your shipping method in these cases without notice to you and will provide you tracking details for the new carrier once shipped.

All delivery times provided by Korango are estimates only. Korango will not be liable for late deliveries and/or any loss or damage relating to late deliveries.

In the event that an item you have ordered is out of stock, Korango will make all reasonable attempts to notify you using the details you provided.

By agreeing to our terms and conditions you acknowledge all information set forth under our Australian and International shipping pages.

Please note that Korango is unable to grant specific delivery requests such as “Deliver between 10-12pm” or “leave parcel in back yard”. Korango is not responsible if your delivery instructions are not followed.

REFUNDS & RETURNS

Returns for refund or exchange will only be accepted if they are in new condition with tags attached, unless goods are being returned as faulty.
