It is not viable to fulfil orders under $20 sorry. The only way for us to operationalise this is to have a very high "freight" rate for orders under $20. If you are wanting to purchase low value items we suggest visiting your local homebrew store, or combining purchases with friends or neighbours, or stocking up (most products have a long shelf life). This is not negotiable. Thank you for understanding.
We will despatch your purchase either the day of receiving the cleared payment or the next working day. A few exceptions apply for items we do not hold in stock & bulky items with high demand eg buckets which means we are limited by the volume we can release to the courier network each day. Orders will be despatched in the order in which payment is received. This will be stated on the product page.

We do not offer pickups, nor do we make or take telephone calls - and we do not make any exceptions sorry. Please don't ask as a refusal can often offend. For this kind of business it is a far more efficient way of operating, thus keeping costs low and prices competitive. We understand that some people prefer to deal with others person-to-person. If you are this kind of person our best suggestion is to visit or telephone a homebrew store. You can duckduckgo homebrew store or look in the yellow pages.
