Please note that our pillows and cushions have been used for décor purposes and that these items should NOT be placed in a cot with a baby.

Kate Lauren Designs  use  PayPal to process payments.  During checkout you will be automatically directed to the PayPal site.  You do not need a PayPal account to make a purchase.
 
If you would prefer to pay via electronic funds transfer (EFT), cheque or money order, please email details of the items you would like to purchase and you will be sent an invoice, which will include bank account details for EFT.  When paying by EFT please include the invoice number and your surname in the transaction description.

3. How long will it take for my purchase to arrive?
 
We aim to always have stock on hand of all our products.  However, we do advise upon purchase to allow 4 weeks for delivery as some items are custom made .   If, for any reason, you require the item urgently, please email us.  If the items you have ordered are in stock, we will process and ship your order within 2 business days.  We will notify you when we have shipped your order.  If, due to circumstances beyond our control, your order has been delayed we will email you and notify you of the estimated ship date.
      
4. What if my item is not in stock?
 
We make every effort to ensure that your items are in stock.  If we are out of stock we will notify you of the estimated delivery date.  If this is not acceptable to you, we will give you the opportunity to withdraw or change your order. 
 
 
5. Who do you use for shipping and how much does it cost?
 
We use either Australia Post Registered Mail, Australian Air Express or Fastways for our shipping.   Shipping costs are a flat rate of $9.95 within Australia.
 
All of our parcels are tracked and registered mail deliveries need to be signed for upon delivery. 
 
International Orders:
Please email us on info@katelauren.com.au with a description of the products you wish to purchase and your delivery address information.  We will then provide you with a postage quote.  Upon acceptance of the postage quote, you will be sent a PayPal invoice including associated postage costs.  Kate Lauren Designs is not responsible for any duties, tariffs, customs charges or additional charges levied by your country of entry.

If you believe an item has been damaged in transit you must note it on delivery.  Your delivery on the paperwork denotes that the delivery arrived in satisfactory condition.
