Delivery options

1. Drop Off In-Person (Docklands, Melbourne)

   For those close to our Docklands location, we welcome direct drop-offs. Please get in touch to arrange a convenient time for delivery. This option eliminates any risks associated with shipping.

2. Uber Send (Perfect for Local Melbourne Customers)

3. Tracked Australia Post Courier (Ideal for Customers Australia-Wide)

   Using a tracked courier service through Australia Post is the safest option for customers outside Melbourne. Tracked services allow you to monitor your parcel every step of the way, ensuring peace of mind.

Safely packaging your photos

Regardless of the delivery method, safe packaging is essential to protect your photos from damage during transit. Here’s how to prepare your photos:

• Use a Sturdy Box or Envelope: Opt for a rigid box or a padded envelope to protect your photos from bending. Avoid regular paper envelopes as they provide minimal protection.

• Place Photos in Ziplock Bags: Group your photos into bundles and place them in ziplock bags. This protects them from moisture, dust, and other potential contaminants.

• Add Cardboard Backing: Insert sturdy cardboard on both sides of your photo bundles to prevent bending or creasing. Use rubber bands or tape to secure the cardboard in place.

• Wrap in Bubble Wrap: For extra cushioning, wrap the entire bundle in bubble wrap before placing it in your shipping box or envelope.

• Label Clearly: Write “Fragile” and “Do Not Bend” on the packaging to alert handlers to take extra care.

• Include Your Contact Information: Place a note inside the package with your name, phone number, and email address. This ensures we can reach you if needed.

Why safe packaging matters

Your photos are irreplaceable treasures, and taking a little extra time to package them securely ensures they arrive safely. By following these guidelines and choosing one of our recommended delivery methods, you can trust that your memories are in good hands.
