Pre-orders
All pre order lead times quoted on our website are approximate dates only and we are not responsible for any delays which are out of our hands.
If you wish to cancel your order, please visit our cancellation policy.
Deliveries
To avoid multiple shipping charges with couriers, we will hold all items in our warehouse until the last item arrives back in stock and everything will be shipped together. If you prefer for stocked items to be shipped separately, please contact us and we can discuss delivery costs as extra charges will apply.
If all items are in stock, we will not usually make contact prior to dispatch.
Shopping & Delivery Information
Delivery to your door is by a mixture of providers, some of whom are couriers and some transport and haulage companies. We always endeavor to get items to you at the best price but taking safety of your precious cargo into account. This means at Haus of Rattan we don’t always accept the lowest transport quote to you.
Our prices to you reflect professional quotes from service providers and are based on postcode and other factors such as size weight and distance.
In some instances, we offer courier services to a courier depot for your collection which can lower the cost substantially (please talk to us about this). TNT depots are our current choice for this service.
Please email us at [email protected] if you are outside your capital city metro or if you are unsure about shipping costs. We will provide you with an accurate door to door or door to depot quote.
You should ideally be at home for delivery or have given us clear instructions where to leave the item at your house safely and under cover.

- For items that are not in stock the delivery time varies from 3 – 4 months from receipt of order (often much quicker than this). This includes at least 7/8 weeks of production, preparation of load and loading, 8/10 days sailing to Brisbane, unloading and customs clearance and delivery to us at Forest Glen.
