Shipping & Insurance Policy

Last Updated: 9 / 05 / 2025


Introduction

At NextGen Collectors we ship exclusively with Australia Post for most domestic orders, and we apply TNT or FedEx only when higher-value or international conditions require it. The fixed-rate tables below show exactly what you will pay at checkout. All services include tracking and Signature on Delivery.

Domestic Shipping – Australia Post (shown at checkout)

A. Express Post (1-4 business days) – insurance included

Cart Value (AUD) Flat Shipping Rate
$0 – $149 $18.00
$150 – $1 999 $22.50
$2 000 – $4 999 $26.00
  • Mandatory insurance is baked into the rate; cover is calculated at $2.50 per $100 of item value.
  • If your order reaches $5 000 or above, Express is replaced by TNT (see below).

B. Standard Post (2-8 business days) – no insurance

Cart Value (AUD) Flat Shipping Rate
$0 – $149 $14.50
$150 – $1 999 $17.50
$2 000 – $5 000 $20.00

Select Standard if you prefer not to pay for insurance; you accept all risk beyond minimal carrier cover.

C. TNT Australia (Overnight Express)

  • Orders ≥ $5 000 AUD: TNT is mandatory (our system automatically upgrades and applies TNT’s insurance rate).
  • Orders < $5 000 AUD: TNT may appear as an optional upgrade at checkout for eligible postcodes.
  • TNT shipments always include insurance and require Signature on Delivery.

International Shipping

New Zealand

  • Australia Post International (4-10 days + customs) – insurance & signature included.
  • FedEx (2-7 days + customs) – insurance & signature included.
  • Duties/taxes payable by the recipient.

Other Countries

Dispatch & Delivery Times
