Concerns

Why do my shipping charges seem high?The short answer is because Couriers Please and Australia Post are charging "Dimensional weight shipping". Our Gumpaste Flowers are very light in weight however are safely packaged which leads to the boxes being large.  These items do not weigh a lot but the items are large & they take up a lot of space. "Dimensional Weight Shipping" calculates space rather than weight.Also for our customers who order Gumpaste Flowers along with FondX Fondant have their items shipped in separate boxes as a safety measure to ensure the items ordered arrive safely.To calculate, you will first determine the package dimensions in cm. For each package dimension, measure at the longest point, rounding each measurement to the nearest whole number (for example, 9.00 to 9.49 will be considered 9, and 9.50 to 9.99 will be considered 10).Then, multiply the package length by the width by the height and divide by 250. The result is the dimensional weight. For those services where dimensional weight is relevant, take the greater of this calculation or the actual, scale based weight to calculate the shipping cost.
