    A note for international customersAs a small Australian business, we send international orders with Australia Post, which works with your local postal service to complete the delivery. This allows us to offer the most economical shipping option and keep costs as reasonable as possible.

    Faster international courier services can be significantly more expensive, so we appreciate your patience while your order makes its way to you.

  • Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an Australia Post tracking link by email. Tracking may take a little time to update after the parcel is first lodged. You can also check its progress through our online tracking portal.

    If you have the Australia Post app and your order uses the same phone number, email address and delivery address connected to your MyPost account, the parcel may appear automatically in the app and send you push notifications.

    For eligible deliveries, the Australia Post app may also let you redirect your parcel to a 24/7 Parcel Locker or update your delivery preferences, such as Safe Drop or no authority to leave.

  • If you placed your order within the last 30 minutes and still have the checkout page open, you can use the self-service option to edit your order details.

    Otherwise, email us at hello@catharnessaustralia.com.au as soon as possible with your order number and correct address. We can update it if the order has not yet been dispatched.

    Once Australia Post has received your parcel, we cannot guarantee that the address can be changed. However, you may be able to request a redirection through your MyPost account via the Australia Post app.

  • If your parcel is eligible for Safe Drop and the Australia Post driver finds a secure, weather-protected location, it may be left there. Through the AusPost app, you can select, change or remove your Safe Drop preference up to one hour before delivery.

    For eligible parcels, the app may also let you redirect your delivery to another address, a Post Office or a 24/7 Parcel Locker before it is onboard for delivery.

    If a signature is required or there is nowhere safe to leave the parcel, it will usually be taken to a nearby Post Office or Parcel Locker. The AusPost app will provide collection instructions and may also show an attempted-delivery photo.

    Parcel Locker deliveries must generally be collected within two business days. After that, they are transferred to a nearby Post Office, where they are usually held for up to 10 business days before being returned to the sender.

  • First, check around your property, letterbox, Safe Drop locations, building reception and with anyone else at your address.

    Open the delivery in the AusPost app to view the proof-of-delivery (POD) image, where available. This may help you identify exactly where the parcel was left. If you do not have the app or cannot see an image, contact Australia Post with your tracking number and request proof of delivery.

    If you still cannot locate your parcel, email us at hello@catharnessaustralia.com.au so we can help investigate.

  • Yes. Because we ship exclusively with Australia Post, orders can be sent to valid Australia Post PO Boxes and Parcel Lockers.

    Please enter the complete address exactly as it appears in your MyPost account, including your unique Parcel Locker or Parcel Collect number.

  • International orders may attract customs duties, taxes or import fees when they reach the destination country. These charges are determined by local authorities and are the recipient’s responsibility.

    International orders must be declared as merchandise and cannot be marked as gifts.
