We follow a clear and straightforward process:
Step 1: Submit your job details via the Get a Quote page to receive a quote and lead time.
Step 2: (if supplying wax models):
Step 3: Once casting is complete, you will be invoiced on the same day.
Step 4: Once payment is confirmed cleared, you may collect your castings from our CBD office the following business day by appointment only, (or they will be posted to you if indicated you require postage when submitting your quote).
Please keep in mind, if you require us to 3D wax print for you, ensure your STL files meet our technical standards before you upload them for quoting.
All manufacturing is conducted in our large-scale, secure facility in suburban Sydney. This facility is not open to the public. No pickups, drop-offs or postal deliveries can be made directly to the manufacturing site.
Our Sydney CBD office is strictly by appointment only for drop-offs and collections. This is because the office is not always staffed Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. We anticipate having a full-time staff member stationed at the CBD office by Q4 2025.
Shipping Policy
All castings are shipped exclusively via Australia Post Express, with signature on delivery and insurance coverage up to $5,000 per parcel. We do not offer regular post, non-signed delivery, or uninsured shipping under any circumstances.
If your casting order is valued at $2,500, it will be shipped as one parcel with $2,500 in insurance. For orders exceeding $5,000, the shipment will be divided into multiple parcels, each insured separately (e.g. a $5,500 order will be sent in two insured shipments).
Shipping Costs:
Non-Negotiable Conditions:
We implement these measures to ensure the integrity and traceability of all shipments. We are not in the business of chasing parcels or entertaining disputes arising from uninsured deliveries.
Payment is strictly by bank transfer only. Funds must be cleared into our bank account before collection or shipping can occur.
We do not offer trade credit, net terms, credit card over the phone or in office, Pay ID, PayPal, cash or any alternative methods such as buy now pay later. When we buy our precious metals daily, bullion suppliers don't give us credit (we have the same conditions as you), we have to pay them upfront before they will release the metals to us, we are no different to them in how we invoice.
