We endeavour to ship all of your items on the same day if your order is placed prior to 12pm midday or within two to three business days of your order being processed.

All orders will be posted as "Authority to Leave", this allows the couriers to leave your package unattended at the shipping address provided by you without obtaining a signature. If you would prefer your order to be posted with "Signature on delivery" please add this to your order by clicking here. Pattern Scissors Frock can not be held responsible for any lost or stolen packages.
