We strive to provide exceptional customer service and transparency. If you have a complaint relating to our Terms and Conditions or our products, we will attempt to resolve the complaint using our internal complaints-handling procedure. If the process is exhausted and the complaint is not settled in this way, you may make a request to us for the dispute to be settled by mediation through your state or territory consumer protection agency or the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC). 

2. Delivery

We only ship within Australia. We offer standard shipping options and express shipping options, each with the choice to select Authority To Leave or Signature On Arrival. All parcels are shipped with tracking. All Shipping flat rates are subject to change.

If you select any shipping method with “Authority To Leave” on the parcel, Sydney Soap Collection is not liable for the loss of failure to receive goods once marked as delivered on your tracking.

We use a combination of couriers and Australia Post to ensure your parcel is sent to you in the most feasible manner. This helps us keep our prices low so you can enjoy our products at a great price.
