Shipping Policy
Last updated: July 4, 2026
At Velanto (www.velanto-boutique.com), we are dedicated to providing an elegant, reliable, and transparent shopping experience. We proudly serve and ship our collections exclusively to customers located within Australia.
To bring you the most exquisite, up-to-date seasonal apparel while maintaining highly competitive boutique pricing, we collaborate directly with premium international manufacturing centers. Therefore, all orders are dispatched directly from our partner international fulfillment and logistics facilities.
1. Shipping Costs & Order Cut-Off
- Shipping Fees: Promotional Free Shipping may apply across the store as highlighted on our top announcement bar. Standard delivery rates (if applicable to specific items) will be calculated and itemized directly at checkout.
- Order Cut-Off Time: 5:00 PM (EST - Eastern Standard Time). Orders placed after this time will enter our processing pipeline on the next operational business day.
2. Processing & Delivery Timeframes
Our logistics schedule is split into two distinct operational phases to ensure your clothing is carefully managed and routed:
- Order Processing Time: 1–3 business days (Monday through Friday). This phase includes rigorous apparel quality audits, sizing verifications, garment protection styling, and secure packaging. Orders received over weekends or public holidays are initialized starting the next working business day.
- Estimated Transit Time: 7–10 business days. This defines the standard shipping duration required for international shipping carriers to transport and deliver your parcel to your address in Australia.
Please note: These timelines are realistic business estimates. Rare, temporary transit delays may occasionally happen due to stringent Australian border customs inspections, peak global holiday backlogs, or temporary domestic postal network strains (e.g., Australia Post regional delays).
3. Order Tracking
Complete transparency is central to our service. As soon as your fashion package is processed, sealed, and handed over to our international delivery couriers, an automated shipping confirmation email containing a custom tracking link will be sent to your inbox. You can monitor your garment's journey dynamically until it arrives safely at your door.
4. Taxes, Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Importation
Orders are imported as individual consumer shipments directly to Australian residents. In accordance with Australian e-commerce tax frameworks, applicable local taxes or processing factors are structural to checkout pricing. Any local post office storage adjustments resulting from a recipient being persistently unavailable during final delivery attempts are the sole responsibility of the customer.
5. Delivery Accuracy & Incorrect Addresses
It is the customer's sole responsibility to input a completely accurate, valid, and exhaustive delivery address during checkout. Velanto is not liable for failed shipments, lost parcels, or undelivered merchandise due to typographical errors, omitted unit/apartment identifiers, or a failure to retrieve parcels from local postal depots within the carrier's designated collection window.
