Shipping

Our aim is to deliver your order as quickly as possible. Orders are processed from our facility in Adelaide, Australia within three business days after order confirmation. Estimated transit times outlined below commence once your order has been processed and dispatched from our facility. You will receive tracking information via email once your order is en route. Should tracking details not appear immediately, rest assured, as updates may take a moment to become visible. Please be mindful that the delivery times provided on our site are estimates only. Actual delivery durations may vary due to factors such as location, weather, holidays, customs processes, and other external influences.

Refer to the details below for local and international shipping rates and transit times.

Local Orders Within Australia

Local orders with an Australian shipping address will be shipped via Australia Post Express with an estimated transit time of 2-5 business days. Shipping fees are outlined below:

• Orders under US$75 incur a US$7 flat rate shipping fee

• Orders above US$75 get free shipping Australia wide

Note: For Australian based customers, GST will be applied at checkout.

International Orders

For most international destinations, we are able to provide both Standard and Express shipping. Our Standard shipping option is the most economical but has an estimated transit time of at least 14-27 business days (not calendar days). With this shipping option, DHL hands over the parcel to the local postal organisation (i.e. USPS in USA, etc.) once it reaches the destination country, which can result in further processing times and delays. These processing times are out of our control, so please select Express shipping if you need your order swiftly.

Our Express shipping option is significantly faster, although costs more. We try and subsidise this cost as much as possible based on your order value.

Note: We currently do not ship to APO or FPO addresses.

What is the process for an exchange?

In the case of an exchange, a shipping fee will be charged for shipping the exchanged item(s) back to you. Shipping rates will apply as per our Shipping Policy listed on our website, same as placing a new order. An invoice for the payment of any fees will be sent to you via email.

If you would like to exchange your item(s) for an item(s) of greater value, the price difference will be payable along with the shipping fees mentioned above (if applicable). If you would like to exchange your item(s) for an item(s) of lesser value, the price difference will be credited to you and will be reflected in the invoice. Exchanged item(s) will only be dispatched from our facility once all payments for invoices have been received in full.

Example:

  1. You placed an order for an item valued at $US200.
  2. You wish to exchange this for another item valued at $US220.
  3. You will need to send this item back to us. Return shipping to us will cost you $US12 if you are in the USA, and we will provide the shipping label. Otherwise, you will need to arrange your own shipping back to us or request a label from us at cost.
  4. Once we receive the item, you will be sent an invoice for the $US20 price difference. The shipping back to you will be free because the exchanged item is above US$200, so it qualifies for free express shipping as per our Shipping Policy.
  5. The exchanged items will be dispatched to you once you have paid the invoice.

Note: Artem Straps reserves the right to deny a return or exchange if the item(s) does not meet the criteria outlined above.

    Would recommend to anyone. Perfection!

    I’m stoked…I can’t recommend Artem and their HydroFlex straps enough. Premium materials, attention to detail and the perfect fit the moment you put it on your wrist. Very happy with the colour combo with my SJE093.
