Shipping, Return and Refund Policy

Shipping Policy:

At Sognoes Automotive, shipping costs are calculated based on the item type, size, and destination. Standard shipping starts from $5 and delivery typically takes 3 to 12 business days within Australia.

For international orders, we offer competitive shipping rates and delivery times may vary depending on the destination and carrier.

Custom-Made Orders:
Custom-made or special-order items require a 90% upfront payment of the total quoted price before production begins. These orders generally take 4 to 10 weeks for processing and shipping, depending on the complexity of the request.

We’re committed to fast, reliable service and secure delivery for every order. If you have any questions about shipping rates, delivery times, or custom orders, please contact our customer service team for assistance.
