Gold Coast Made

Personalising Pet Stuff Since 2009

PROCESSING + POSTAGE

We make it first.
Then the postie gets involved.

Most Furry Peeps products are personalised, printed or made to order in our Gold Coast studio. That means there are two separate clocks ticking on your order: the time it takes us to make it, and the time it takes the carrier to deliver it.

Production time ≠ delivery time.

The processing timeframe is how long we need to create your order before dispatch. Shipping time begins after the finished parcel leaves us.

🐾 Your dog may wait at the window during both stages.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Your order has two completely different timeframes.

This tiny distinction prevents an impressive amount of “but I chose Express” confusion.

Processing

We make your order.

This is the time between receiving your completed, paid order and having the finished product packed and ready for dispatch. Most Furry Peeps goodies are not sitting pre-personalised on a shelf waiting for a suspiciously specific dog called Kevin.

📦
Delivery

The carrier delivers it.

Delivery time starts after we have finished making your order and handed the parcel to the selected carrier. Standard and Express delivery options affect this stage, not our production queue.

2–10 Working days

Most orders are made within 2–10 working days.

Because most Furry Peeps products are personalised, printed or made to order, please allow approximately 2–10 working days for standard production before dispatch.

Some products require different production timeframes because of their materials, printing method, sewing, finishing or other production steps. Where an individual product states a different timeframe, the product-specific timeframe wins.

Production begins once payment has cleared and we have all of the information needed to make the order.

WHAT COUNTS AS A WORKING DAY?

The calendar has rules.

Pets do not observe weekends. Production teams unfortunately remain disappointingly human.

Monday–Friday Normal business days count toward the production timeframe.
×
Weekends Saturdays and Sundays are not counted as standard working days.
×
Public holidays Queensland public holidays are not counted as working days.
+
Delivery time Carrier delivery happens after production and is not included in the 2–10 days.
Christmas does not sneak up on the printers.

It does, however, arrive every year with thousands of personalised pet requests and a fairly dramatic amount of festive enthusiasm.

PEAK PERIODS

Busy times can take longer.

Production timeframes may extend during very busy periods such as Christmas, major promotions and seasonal gifting events.

If you need an order for a specific birthday, holiday, puppy arrival or other immovable date, order as early as possible.

Carrier networks can also become busier during peak periods, so leaving extra time for both production and delivery is a very sensible little life choice.

LEFT IT LATE?

Rush Orders may save the birthday.

Selected products have a Rush Order option. Eligible Rush Orders placed before 12 midday Queensland time on a working day can be prioritised for next-business-day dispatch where all requirements are met.

Rush speeds up production. It does not automatically upgrade your postage.

If you also need faster carrier delivery, select an appropriate Express shipping option separately at checkout.

Rush Production + Express shipping.

One gets the eligible product made faster.

The other gets the finished parcel onto the faster delivery service.

Two clocks. Two services. One extremely spoilt pet.

SHIPPING

Once it’s packed, off it goes.

Available services and costs are shown at checkout based on your parcel and destination.

📦

Standard delivery.

Standard shipping is available for eligible Australian orders. Carrier estimates begin after your parcel has been dispatched.

Express delivery.

Express shipping places the completed parcel onto a faster carrier service. It does not move an ordinary order ahead of other orders in our production queue.

Delivery instructions.

Add useful delivery instructions during checkout where available. Carriers make the final decision about whether and where a parcel can safely be left.

“Where’s my order?”

If you have not received a dispatch notification yet and your order is still inside its stated production timeframe, it is generally still being made rather than secretly touring Australia.

TRACKING

Tracking starts after dispatch.

Once your order has been completed, packed and booked for delivery, we’ll send a dispatch notification with tracking details where tracking is available.

Carrier scans may not appear instantly. Sometimes the first tracking update happens after the parcel reaches the carrier’s network.

If tracking appears genuinely stuck or your parcel is well beyond the carrier’s expected delivery window, contact us with your order number and we can help investigate.

BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT

Please tell us where you actually live.

Parcels remain stubbornly committed to travelling to the address entered at checkout.

Street Correct number, correct street and any unit information needed.
Suburb The actual suburb is far more useful than the one you moved from.
Postcode Four tiny numbers capable of sending a parcel on a huge adventure.
Contact details Use an email address and phone number you can actually access.
PARCEL CAME BACK?

Sometimes the postie returns the favour.

If a parcel is returned because it was unclaimed, refused, undeliverable or addressed incorrectly, carrier return fees and new postage may be payable before it can be sent again.

Redelivery costs may differ from the original postage amount because current carrier charges, parcel measurements and destination all apply.

If the delivery-address error was ours, contact us and we’ll sort it out.

Before ordering:

Check the house number.
Check the street.
Check the suburb.
Check the postcode.

Your dog has no idea where the old house was. Neither does the printer.

Sending a Furry Peep overseas?

Where international delivery is available, shipping options and costs are calculated at checkout for supported destinations.

International delivery can take longer and may be affected by customs processing in the destination country.

Any import duties, taxes, customs charges or local processing fees imposed by the destination country are the customer’s responsibility.

Please allow plenty of extra time for international gifts. Border agencies remain unimpressed by even the most important canine birthday invitation.

THE SHORT VERSION

We make it. We pack it. The postie takes it from there.

Allow the stated production time, remember that delivery begins after dispatch, use Rush and Express where available if time is tight, and please check your address before sending your pet’s new belongings into the postal universe.
