Shipping & Delivery
How does shipping and delivery work?
So you've made an order? Welcome to the Kit Atelier family!
Once you have placed an order, our team will carefully package your items and ship them within 24 hours. To speed up delivery if your order contains different products, you may sometimes receive them separately so we can get them to you as fast as possible.
Your products will be sent via Australia Post, and then they should be safely in your patiently waiting hands within 6-11 business days**.
As soon as your order is sent you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us complete with a tracking number so you can follow its journey.
*Please note: We send via signature required post to ensure safe delivery - if you opt for ‘Authority To Leave’ yourself, we are not responsible for the package in the rare case it is missing or stolen.
**Please note: all shipping timeframes are from the advertised date of dispatch. Should your item have a pre-order date (advised next to the product name in brackets), this is the date of dispatch. The delivery timeframe starts from the pre-order date it ships on. If there’s no date next to the product name, you’re in luck - it’s ready to go!
How much do I pay for shipping?
All orders include FREE and fast delivery Australia-wide, no matter how many products you order.
When will my order arrive?
Once your order is picked and packed, the magical journey from Kit Atelier HQ to your front door begins.
All orders (no matter how many products you purchase) include FREE and fast delivery Australia-wide. You can expect your order to arrive within 6-11 business days* from the day of dispatch.
*Please note: Although Australia Post quote us these expected delivery times, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may show a ‘delayed’ delivery date.
How do I track my order?
Yay, time to celebrate – your order is on its way! After we pass your order to Australia Post, we will send you a shipping confirmation email which will have a ‘Track Order’ button. This will take you directly to the Australia Post site so you can follow the live tracking updates!
Haven’t received your shipping confirmation email yet? Check your spam folder too (it may have ended up there).
Help, I think my order is lost/hasn’t been delivered?
Think your order might be lost in transit? Although Australia Post quote us 6-11 business days for standard delivery, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may show a ‘delayed’ delivery date.
If your order isn’t delivered within 20 days, please contact us and we can launch an investigation with Australia Post.
*Please note: For any queries or issues related to your Australia Post order, we recommend you first reach out to Australia Post directly. While we understand delays are frustrating, we are required to work within Australia Post’s processes. Once you have contacted Australia Post directly, let us know and we can contact them on your behalf to try and resolve any issues ASAP.
Can I change my shipping address?
Oops, is your order not being sent to the right address? We can absolutely help change this for you! Provided your order has not shipped, please send us the new details and we can change this over for you.
If your order has been shipped, don’t panic! You can still redirect it via the Australia Post tracking link we provide on your shipping confirmation email.
*Please note: We can only send your order to the address you provide on your order - if you have provided an incorrect address, and the package is delivered there, we are unable to retrieve it so please check your address carefully!
Do you ship internationally?
At this time, we only deliver our products to customers in Australia.
Are there any customs/import fees?
All our products are shipped right here in Australia, out of our distribution centre. This means there’s no need to stress about any customs fees, as it’s shipping from your own backyard.
Product Questions
What's included in each kit?
Pre-cut, pre-punched genuine leather, needles, thread, all hardware and tools needed for assembly, and a video tutorial.
What kind of leather do you use?
Our kits feature premium genuine cowhide leather on the exterior and some also have a durable synthetic (PU) lining inside. The leather gives the bag a premium feel, while the PU lining keeps it structured, hard-wearing, and resistant to water and dirt – without compromising affordability.
Do I need any experience or prior skills?
No experience needed. Every kit comes with a step-by-step video tutorial designed for complete beginners, plus pre-cut, pre-punched leather so there's no guesswork.
What if I get stuck or have a question?
If you get stuck or have any questions simply contact us here and we'll aim to respond within 24 hours.
How long does a kit take to make?
Most kits take around 3–6 hours to make, and our smaller kits around 2–5 hours. Most people finish over a weekend, or spread it across a few relaxed evenings.
How do I access the video tutorial?
A link to the video will be emailed to you after your purchase. You can also watch our tutorials anytime on our Tutorials page.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk purchase discounts?
Our products are only sold on our online store, so we do not offer wholesale discounts for reselling. If you are looking to make a bulk personal purchase, please contact us here for more information!
*Please note: This is subject to stock availability.
Can I send an order as a gift?
Have a special someone who you think needs some of our products in their life? You can ship any Kit Atelier product directly to that lucky lad or lady by entering their address as the shipping address, and your own as the billing address. Plus we don’t include any value invoices inside the box as any receipts are sent directly to your own email address. It’s that easy!
*Please note: Due to the fact we use external fulfilment partners, we are unable to include messages in the package - we’re sorry!
Are you stocked in any stores anywhere?
Nope, it’s just us! Our Kit Atelier products are only available on our online store here in Australia. Unfortunately, we don't currently offer international shipping.
Returns & Exchanges
Do you have a returns policy?
Sorry, we know this is the boring legal mumbo-jumbo, but take a minute to have a read of our return policy. We offer a 100-day risk free period for our products, during which you can return them at any time.
However, not all items are eligible. Any exclusions will be called out on product pages and / or at checkout. To be eligible for a return:
1. Item(s) have to be initiated for return and placed in the post within 100 days of the delivery/receiving of order.
2. Item(s) were not marked “Final Sale” or “Non-Returnable” at the time of purchase, unless faulty.
3. Item(s) must be in the original packaging, which must be in original condition.
This includes attached tags and packaging. You will be asked to put your photography skills to the test and provide a photo of your item prior to sending it back to us so we can assess the condition.
*Please note: If you are returning one of your items from a bundle, your order is no longer valid at that bundle pricing.
How do I make a return?
Making a return is easy. Just email our friendly team at hi@kitatelier.com.au within 100 days of receiving your product(s), and let us know you’d like to make a return. Once your return is approved, we’ll send you the return address and instructions. Your item(s) will need to have all original packaging, seals and components intact. Once we’ve received and checked it, we’ll process your refund back to your original payment method.
Can I return my order for a refund?
Sadly, we know that sometimes our products are just not quite the right fit for some people. You can certainly return anything you order from us for a full refund, provided it is returned within 100 days.
*Please note: Not all items are eligible for return. Any exclusions will be called out on product pages and / or at checkout. All products must be returned in as new condition, with any tags and the original box.
**Please note: If you are returning one of your items from a bundle, your order is no longer valid at that bundle pricing.
Do I have to pay for returns?
For eligible returns, you’ll simply need to cover the cost of return shipping to the address we provide. Just contact our friendly team here and they’ll guide you through the process and make sure you know exactly where to send it.
*Please note: Not all items are eligible for return. Any exclusions will be called out on product pages and / or at checkout.
How long does it take for my return to be processed?
We are working hard behind the scenes to get our products in and out of our fulfilment centres. We strongly encourage that you send through a photo of your receipt from the post office as proof your return has been lodged. As soon as we have this information, we can action either your exchange or refund immediately! If you forget to grab this receipt, we will just need to wait until that one gets back to our warehouse before we can go ahead.
How long does it take for my refund to be processed?
We’re sad to see you go! Should you receive a refund for your order, you will receive an email confirming this has been processed from our end. From there, it will take 2-5 business days to process into your account, depending on your bank. If it takes any longer than this, we would recommend contacting your bank or merchant (eg. Afterpay) directly.
Payment
How secure is your payment?
All jokes aside - your privacy and security is our highest priority. We use Shopify Payments which is an extremely secure and highly encrypted system designed to protect customers and also hold merchants accountable.
What payment types do you offer?
We accept the good old-fashioned methods of payment, such as credit cards (Visa/Mastercard/American Express) as well as debit cards that can be used for online transactions. If you’re a bit more tech-savvy, we offer PayPal, Afterpay, Google Pay and Apple Pay too!
Do you have payment plan options?
Yes, we sure do! We’ve teamed up with Afterpay, so you can bring your kit home today and pay for it in 4 interest-free instalments, spread over 6 weeks. Just choose Afterpay at checkout and you’re all set. Approval and Afterpay’s terms apply.
How do I use a discount code?
Woo, it’s on sale - so you’re basically saving money (at least, that’s what we tell ourselves when something is on sale). Simply head to the checkout, and on the first page of the checkout there will be a box for you to enter your discount code in - make sure to click ‘Apply’! This is offered before the payment page so you’re totally aware of how much you can save.
*Please note: Only one discount code can be used per order. If you are purchasing multiple bundles and discounts, we suggest placing separate orders. Strikethrough prices may consider the discount code mentioned in the description. Please check email offers for which items the code is applicable for (eg. specific products only).
I forgot to use my discount code!
Made your purchase, and as the payment was loading you realised with horror you hadn’t added your discount? Never fear, that opportunity hasn’t slipped away! Simply contact our helpful team here and they will be happy to help correct this for you.
*Please note: Only one discount code can be used per order. If you are purchasing multiple bundles and discounts, we suggest placing separate orders.
