How is postage calculated?
Rather than calculate postage on each item. We now calculate postage of the whole shopping cart. Children's and Compact umbrellas weigh 500 grams. Unisex, Women's and Wedding umbrellas weigh 750 grams. Shipping rates are below.
- 500 grams = $9
- 750 grams = $12
- 1kg to 1.25kg = $15
- 1.5kg to 1.75kg = $18
- 2kg and over = $20
By doing this, it allows postage discounts for multiple items purchased. For example, if 4 Clear umbrellas are purchased, total postage is $20. Postage is only $5 per umbrella, instead of $12, saving more than 50% postage on each umbrella.
What is your refund policy?
Umbrellas are offered with a 30 day exchange if the goods are damaged upon arrival, or the item has a manufacturing defect. Returns are not allowed on a "change of mind" basis. Stella Brella will refund postage costs (based on Australia Post Regular Parcel). Some items do have an additional manufacturer frame guarantee, and if so, the umbrella comes with an additional warranty tag. This frame guarantee is limited, and does not include misuse or strong wind damage, and all postal costs are incurred by the customer.
