After your order is dispatched, you may receive tracking updates from Australia Post. You can monitor your parcel’s progress by downloading and using the AusPost app or by entering your tracking number at auspost.com.au

ReNewy Living will send an automated email to confirm your order’s completion. Additionally, Australia Post will email you when your parcel is lodged at the post office.

A registered letter and parcel with tracking number is the best way to ensure your items get to your address. In the unlikely event there is a delivery issue whilst in transit, it’s much easier to solve when there’s a handy tracking number.

For any delivery-related concerns, please contact auspost.com.au 

When estimating the delivery timeline for your order, consider the following:

  • The time required for handling and packing – this can be up to two business days
  • Your location in relation to ReNewy Living (based in Newcastle NSW)
  • The delivery timeframe, as recommended by Australia Post
  • Any potential local, national or global logistics delays
  • High-demand periods such as Christmas, as well as local, state and national Australian public holidays

If your parcel hasn’t arrived within a reasonable timeframe of the expected delivery window for your location (as indicated in Australia Post’s tracking details), you have a few options:

  • Visit auspost.com.au and enter your Australia Post tracking numbers in the “track an item” field.
  • Alternatively, open your AusPost app and click the “track” icon for detailed information
  • For further details and a potential updated Estimated Delivery Date, contact Australia Post by phone between 8am- 6pm (local time) on 13 7678.

ReNewy Living operates exclusively online. We do not offer in-store pick-up options.

However, for the majority of customers in the Newcastle region, we provide a special $10 FLAT RATE POSTAGE. Simply enter your postcode at the checkout to determine if this rate is available to you.

Do you live in the City of Newcastle or Lake Macquarie City Council areas? If do, the fantastic news is, “yes, we offer discounted postage to locals!

I’m passionate about backing our local community, and that’s why I’ve implemented a $10 FLAT RATE POSTAGE for the Newcastle and Lake Mac areas. To find out if you’re eligible for this special rate, simply enter your postcode during the checkout process

Otherwise, you may prefer FREE local preorder pick up, which is available to everyone who attends any workshop and/or events where I’ll be there. Head to the “Free Local Pick Up” tab for more information.
