Pricing Policies
ALL PRICES LISTED ON THE WEBSITE INCLUDE GST and we hope this makes it easier for you to calculate the total cost of your goods. We do require receipt of payment prior to shipment of orders.
Wholesale Pricing & Discount Pricing Requests
Being an online supplier, all our prices are wholesale. So we do not have a separate wholesale price list for raw materials or our bases. You will achieve a deeper wholesale price break based on volume - the more you purchase for your business, the lower the kilo/liter price.
Purchasers of large volume raw materials (this includes bulk soap bases) are asked to use our website and the drop down arrows to ensure we do not already have the size/volumes required already listed. With regards to our Melt & Pour Soap Bases, there is a further 5% discount if purchasing 100kg of any mix of 20kg cartons which is shown on the website. If the volume required is greater than the largest quantity shown, then we ask you to input multiples of the largest quantity shown and then when in the checkout page to write in the comments section that you wish for a quotation price. Please do not request cheaper pricing if the website states there is no further discount available. There is no discounted price available on any of our kits due to the labour intensive packing.
Our minimum order is $40.00 and all products that have an applicable wholesale price break are shown on the website, just drop down the arrow to view. You achieve the most discount by purchasing the largest size of product/ingredient. In order to offer the best pricing to to all customers our pricing structure offers a wide range of sizes and prices so you can obtain the best price we can offer.
If the size you require is already listed on the website (ie 20kg) then no further discount is available on this item. Multiples of the largest size listed may achieve further discounts unless stated otherwise.
There is no discounted price available on any of our kits due to the labour intensive packing.
Aussie Soap Supplies reserves the right to adjust as necessary any listed price at any time in response to raw material price increases or freight price changes.
MSDS (SDS) and Documentation Requests
Aussie Soap Supplies provides Safety Data Sheets and technical documentation for commercial ingredient sales upon request when placing the order. If purchasing small, retail quantities of ingredients, there is a documentation charge per item to cover the labor involved in providing these. Minimum commercial sizes vary according to product. Current as October 2016 the service fee for retrospective requests is $10.00 per product.

We offer the following options for shipment of your order, but we will always choose the most economical unless you request otherwise.

Delivery Times
We aim to ship your order within 2 business days of receiving notification of payment. Please be mindful that from August to December, this time may increase due to the volume of orders. We will notify you via email if there are any expected delays or please check the front of the website.

Additions to Orders
Depending on how far your order has progressed, we may be able to add to your order. However, once your order is sealed or packed we are unable to add additional items. We may have to treat the new items as a new order, pack these in a separate box, and charge separate postal rates for the additional items. We cannot unpack a box that's already properly packed to add new items to the order. We will of course endeavor to include an item if the order has not been packed. We usually ship within 24 hours of receiving payment, often sooner than this. We thank you for your understanding.
Out of Stock Items
Whilst we strive to keep all items in stock at all times, we do occasionally run out of some items. We will mark these items on the Website as soon as we are aware of this. We will NOT process your order until we have been in contact with you via email and asked what you would like to do. As extra postal costs would be incurred if we made two shipments, we will always contact you via email to ask you how you would like us to proceed. You can delete the item or wait for it to come into stock. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause you.
Processing Times
Your parcel will usually leave our premises within 2 business days of you placing your order and receiving your payment. However, orders are often shipped sooner than this. If not, we will contact you via email to let you know of any delay.
Specials, Offers, Flash and Frenzy Sales
We offer Monthly Specials, and these begin as close to the first of the month as possible, and finish anytime after the second last day of the calendar month. Offers are ONLY run via our own Newsletters and Social Media - coupon codes that may be found on 'coupon websites' are gathered either by a 'bot' or entirely invented and NOT published or placed there by us. There is no way for us to delete the erroneous listings. We run random, but often monthly FRENZY sales with larger than usual discounts. All goods must be paid for immediately and all sales are final. Any faults (if the reason for the special) are listed and if possible photographed. Faulty items are rarely listed in the frenzy sale.
No Packaging and Handling Charges
You still pay no packaging or handling charges, as this is part of the service we offer to customers. We are currently able to source recycled packaging materials and whilst this continues there will be no change to our policy.
Vegetarian and Vegan Products
All our products are suitable for Vegetarians, nearly all are Vegan friendly. If you are Vegan please see individual ingredients - apart from honey, beeswax and milks, our products are Vegan Friendly. If in doubt please get in touch with us.

Quality of Our Products
We take every care to ensure what we sell is of a high quality. We make every effort to place a full and accurate description and/or graphic on the website, but if you feel there is a problem, please contact us immediately or at least within 2 working days.
Return Policy
Due to the nature of most of our products, we regret we cannot accept return of goods. As we cannot ensure that fragrances and perishable products have not been opened, these are not returnable. Faulty goods are replaced as per Australian Consumer Law. No goods will be accepted for refund or replacement without prior communication. Goods must be received in the original condition in which they shipped - this means they must be re-packed using the packaging materials supplied originally.
Any request for returning stock must be made within three weeks from placing your order (this allows for shipping delivery times Australia wide).
PLEASE NOTE: We URGE you to purchase the smallest size of product available on the site to complete your own stability testing. It is your responsibility to ensure the packaging is suitable for your products, therefore there is no return on bulk sizes of un-trialled packaging.
We regret we are currently unable to supply Sniffies due to time constraints. There is NO return of any fragrances or essential oils due to the nature of the product whether these have been opened or unopened.
