A. When you confirm your purchase at the end of the checkout process, a confirmation/invoice email will be automatically sent out to you. Please save this for tax purposes as well as proof of purchase.

Q. Why didn't I receive a confirmation/invoice email?

A. When making a purchase, make sure you have entered your email address correctly. Ensure that the confirmation email wasn't identified as spam and placed in a spam folder by your spam filter/anti-virus software.

Products

A. All our products are brand new, never before used or unboxed. We do not sell or promote products that are 2nd hand or repaired seconds. The only exception we make is for items that are returned from our customers soon after purchase that have been thoroughly verified as still being in an as-new, saleable condition.

Q. Why has the costume jewellery I ordered discoloured? Is it defective?

A. Gold- or silver-plated costume jewellery has a tendency to discolour from extended contact with human skin. You can limit the discolouration by not keeping such items on your person continuously.

Postage, Delivery and Order Tracking

Q. How long will it take to deliver my order, if I am posting to an Australian address?

A. Usually, it takes less than 14 days for your goods to be delivered from when we receive your order. (Note that if posting an order form from a catalogue, please allow for the time it will take for the order form to be delivered to us in the mail). However, please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery, especially if placing an order in time for Christmas. The exact time taken to deliver your order will depend on, amongst other things, your shipping address and our current volume of orders.

Q. How long will it take to deliver my order, if I am posting to a New Zealand address?

A. Usually, it takes less than 28 days for your goods to be delivered from when we receive your order.

Q. Can I order and then come to your warehouse to pay for it and pick it up?

A. Unfortunately, Windsor Mail does not currently provide this option. We cannot process your order without receiving initial payment and we do not have the facility for customers to pick up their orders. Moreover, even if you do happen to live close to our warehouse, it should only take one or two days for your order to be delivered after it has been processed.

Q. Why haven’t I received a despatch confirmation email?

A. Please bear in mind that it will usually take 1-2 business days to process and despatch your order. If an item is unexpectedly out of stock, we will contact you immediately and inform you of when the item is likely to be despatched. If you don't receive a despatch confirmation or out of stock email after 3 business days from placing your order, please ensure that you have entered your email address correctly, and that the email wasn't identified as spam and placed in a spam folder by your spam filter/anti-virus software. If neither is the problem, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Bi-Annual Grand Prize Draw

Q. Can I enter the Grand Prize Draw more than once?

A. Absolutely. The more times you enter, the greater your chances of winning a prize will become. However, for each entry you will need to make a separate order.

Note: It is not possible to separate your multi-item order into separate orders for the purpose of making multiple entries and then request to have them despatched together to save on postage.

Q. Do I have to place an order from every catalogue I receive to remain eligible for a particular upcoming prize draw?

A. No. As long as you place an order from at least one catalogue that promotes a particular prize draw, then you are eligible for that draw. However, with every order you place, your odds of winning a prize increase proportionately.

Q. Which draws am I currently in the running for?

A. It is always stated which draw you are entering in the documentation enclosed with the catalogue from which you placed an order (or in the confirmation email if purchasing online). If however you are still unsure of which draws you have entered, please feel free to contact us.

A. After the applicable draw date (see the Prize Draw page), all winners will be notified by mail (it should take about a week after the draw date for the notification letters to be received). The first prize winner will first be contacted by telephone as soon as possible after the draw. Additionally, all winners will be published in newspapers as per the Prize Draw Terms and Conditions.
