Delivery Info
All customers please read this first - Parties In Packages pay particular attention to the date of your special event to make sure your package arrives in time. The prompt delivery of your order is our top priority. Timeframe however is subject to payment method, stock availability and your exact location so we recommend placing your order with as much time to spare as possible before your special event. Although we are happy to accept direct deposit payments from those customers without a credit card, this will slow down your delivery time.
If the delivery option you chose does not fit with the timeframe required for your party date we will email you to advise additional cost before sending your order. Parties In Packages have the right to choose whether your package will be sent by Australia Post or door to door Courier. Parties In Packages deliver everywhere in Australia plus also deliver to countries all over the world. All prices showing on this website are in Australian dollars. We provide a link to a Currency Converter on our LINKS page.
