Yes — all our displayed prices include GST (Goods and Services Tax), as well as built-in costs like carbon-conscious shipping, ethical advertising, Ecommerce platform fees, transaction fee, logistics, storage, packaging materials and local fulfilment. We price transparently and in full compliance with ACCC guidelines, which require businesses to show the total cost upfront, with no hidden fees added later.
As a small Aussie business with a lower turnover and smaller order volumes than big retailers, our per-unit costs — like shipping, packaging, and advertising — are naturally higher. But we choose to absorb those costs the best we can to deliver thoughtful, high-quality products without compromising on our values.
But what we do offer is carefully curated quality, honest pricing, and a commitment to sustainability — all reflected in the final price you see.
