No – in almost all cases we prepare and send out the goods on the day that the order is received (excluding Saturday and Sunday & Public Holidays) but we cannot guarantee the performance of the delivery services we use.
Deliveries within Australia can be one or two days late, so please wait a day or two before contacting us about late deliveries.
International deliveries to Japan, UK and USA sent from the stock we hold in those countries can (rarely) be one or two days late, so please wait one day before contacting us about late deliveries.
Standard International Airmail deliveries to other Countries can sometimes take 7 to 14 more days than promised by Australia Post due to issues with the receiving Countries Custom and Postal Delivery services.
You do not have to worry – once we have confirmed the delivery is lost we will either send you a replacement delivery or process a full refund according to your wishes. Fortunately, this rarely happens.
We use Paypal as our major payment method, but we also accept Bank Transfer payments from Australian Customers.
Credit Cards and other payment methods can also be chosen if you do not have a Paypal account.
No, when you check-out you will be charged in the original Australian Dollar price.
The Currency Converter in our site will show you all of our Australian Dollar prices changed to the Currency of your choice using a live link to Yahoo Currency, so you are shown the current currency exchange rate, but the actual purchase will be processed in Australian Dollars.
Paypal or your chosen Credit Card company may use a different conversion rate, but the final charge in your country’s currency should be very close to the amount shown by our Currency Converter.
We use a major Hosting site for our On-line Shop with state-of-the-art security protection.

Bico Core, ID and Raw pieces are protected by a super hard and transparent coating to extend the life of the finish for as long as possible.
Chemicals used in traditional jewelry cleaning methods must not be used when cleaning your BICO product as they will damage the coating.
Direct exposure to colognes and aftershave, pool products, and excess sweat can affect the coating and plating of your product.
Bico pendants and chains should not be worn in the shower, pool or ocean but if this does occur rinse off any salt water and dry the pieces as soon as possible.
