Rural freight increase & review of bulky item pricing. Unfortunately rural freight has increased to $14 to more closely reflect the actual cost to us. We have retained the $99 free freight threshold. As at 22 April we are working on calculating some pricing increases for bulky items but these are yet to be finalised so we suggest if you have a need for buckets to order them sooner rather than later.
