We keep it as low as we can and may change it; the amount that applies is the one shown before you confirm an order. Where the buyer pays for postage, the buyer and the seller each pay half of the service fee and of the postage for the cheapest service the listing offers, and the buyer pays for any faster service the buyer chooses; where the seller offers free shipping, the seller pays both

5. Australian Consumer Law and Guarantees

• Match any sample or demonstration model
• Come with clear title and ownership

• ViPicks arranges shipping through Australian carriers, selected per order
• Sellers must ship within stated processing times

6.2 Risk and Title

Risk of loss or damage stays with the seller until the items are delivered to you. Title passes to you on delivery.

If you authorise an unattended delivery (Authority to Leave, sometimes called Safe Drop), delivery is complete when the carrier leaves the parcel as you directed, and risk passes at that point.

Nothing in this clause limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including your right to a remedy where items are not delivered. See section 4.3.
