DELIVERY TIME

International orders are fulfilled through AusPost with an estimated shipment time of 1-2 weeks.
Please note that shipment time is not guaranteed by Balense or AusPost. We are not responsible for any delays that do not result from our error. Balense is not responsible for an order once AusPost has marked it as “Delivered”.
POSSIBLE DELAYS
All shipments may encounter delays due to high volume or bad weather that extends beyond the expected delivery time frame provided by the carrier. International shipments are subject to customs procedures leaving Australia and arriving in the destination country which may cause further delays. While these delays are uncommon, they are a reality of shipping logistics especially with international shipping. Please be advised that tracking scans may no longer update once a shipment has left Australia.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Shipping charges are based upon the value of your order, the weight of your order and the destination of your order. Once you have your order completed in your shopping cart you can select your destination country to see the shipping options available to you and how much they cost. Orders that are designated for international shipping outside of Australia may be subjected to taxes, customs duties and other fees by the destination country. The recipient is responsible for these fees.
If the purchaser refuses a shipment, they are responsible for any import fees incurred, cost of returning the shipment and the original shipping charges. This amount will be deducted from the merchandise refund plus a 5% restocking fee.
Balense is not responsible for return of shipments or reimbursement of lost packages or damaged products.
CANCELLATIONS
You may email customercare@balenseskin.com.au by 1:30pm on the day of placing your order to request a cancellation. For any orders placed outside of general business hours, a team member will respond with confirmation of cancellation once business hours resume.
If an order has been shipped, then it is not possible to cancel. Refunds for cancellations may be applied once we provide confirmation.
