Replacements For Missing Parcels - please read carefully!

We will only replace a missing parcel for the following reasons:

  • If you DO NOT select signature on delivery during checkout, we WILL NOT replace the parcel. All Express parcels include signature as part of the flat rate, no need to opt for signature.

  • Australia Post has marked the parcel as 'LOST'.

  • You opted for signature on delivery and you DID NOT receive the parcel. Signature can be purchase for $2.00 on checkout, except express included as part of shipping rate.

  • Your goods have been damaged in transit, regardless of signature.

International Shipping Rates and Estimates 

  • Shipping charges for your order will be calculated and displayed at checkout.

  • International orders will be sent by with Australia's International Standard or International Express services. Tracking is included. Please note some international destinations will take longer than 4 - 8 weeks.

Shipping to United States of America - as of 17th August

SHIPPING UPDATE TO UNITED STATES of AMERICA - SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. AS OF 17th AUGUST 2025

As of 17th August, BelleMae Yarns has suspended shipping to the USA.
Up to now, international orders to the US that were under $800 were exempt from customs duty due to the de minimis exemption. However as of August 29th 2025 this will be ending.
Packages entering the US after August 29th will be subject to import duties, tariffs, processing and broker fees. This means you will now be required to pay these fees in order to receive your package.

This is NOT charged by BelleMae Yarns, but is charged by the US government.

It looks like the fees could be a flat rate of $80 - $200US for the first 6 months and then will change to a percentage of the value of the package. As this can potentially lead to customers not wanting to pay the additional taxes, this can lead to many parcels being returned to BelleMae Yarns, which of course is not a good outcome for either party.

As BelleMae Yarns offers preorders, there will not be enough time to get orders to our American friends if we were to continue shipping up to the 29th August, for that reason
BMY has implemented the shipping suspension as of 17th August.

Any OUTSTANDING to the USA orders will ship by Tuesday 19th August.
I wish to thank all my crafty customers in the United States for all your support, I know many of you have been with BMY since our beginning. We truly do not want to part ways, but for the time being this is what it needs to be.
