About Us / Contact Details

Australian Woodcraft Galleries- History

We first opened our doors to the public in September 2001 and operated a retail outlet in the Perth Central Business District for eight years in two different locations.  Initially on the west end of Murray Street between King Street and Shafto Lane.  In December 2004 we moved to smaller, more central, premises in the Carillon City Arcade.

In September 2009, on the completion of our lease in Carillon City, we made the decision not to renew the lease but to establish our business solely on-line.

Corporate Gift Specialists

• One-off special gifts

• Mementos for milestones or achievements

• Employee awards

• Seminar gifts

• Conference gifts

Looking for a special one-off piece for a respected associate or client, or hundreds of smaller items to mark a corporate milestone, special achievement, or as conference mementos?  You can be assured that our high quality products will be well received and highly prized by the recipients. 

All of our pieces are certain to provide years of enjoyment and appreciation, whether bought for the buyer's own use, or as a gift for a friend, loved one or a respected business associate.  Australian Woodcraft Galleries have many years experience in assisting organisations to make the right impression.  Our products are very high quality.

We can also arrange:

• Laser engraving directly on to a lot of timber craft work.  See here for more information.

• Customisation of your selections

• Engraved plaques for fitting to your selected items

• Custom made presentation packaging

• Timber/Product description cards, customised for your business

Notes:

• Please bear in mind that due to the individual nature of high quality craft work,  you must allow sufficient time for making and delivery of larger orders.  Generally, with smaller items, requirements of up to a dozen may be able to be met off the shelf.  For larger quantities, special orders will need to be placed with the suppliers.  The time taken to supply larger orders can vary from maker to maker, so the more notice given the better.

• Consider your requirements relating to engraving and presentation packaging at the time of selection so that these items can be accurately quoted on and arranged for, ensuring that your products can be delivered on time.

• We accept MasterCard, Visa, Cheques, PayPal and Direct Deposits.

• A deposit will be required where third party services and/or customisation of products is to occur.  The requirements will be determined on a case by case basis depending on the nature of the customisation and the products being purchased.

• Corporate clients are welcome to apply for credit terms.

Our Shopping Cart

The shopping cart section of our web-site is hosted on a secure server, actually in the UK.  This organisation emails us your order and we then log into their web-site through many levels of security to access your credit card details.  These details are used with the National Australia Bank to debit your card. 

You can shop with us in complete confidence regarding your security.

If you prefer to contact us directly to make a purchase, rather than use the Shopping Cart, you are welcome to do so.  Please telephone or email us using the contact details provided at the top of this page.

Using the Shopping Cart:

Clicking on a "Buy Now" button will take you to a new page where your purchase is listed.  It is here that you can modify the quantities required and see the cost calculated.

Having done so, simply use the "Back" button of your browser to return to the page you were viewing, or use the "Go to Payments" button to complete your transaction.

Finalising a purchase using the shopping cart does not automatically debit your credit card.  We are made aware of your requirements and only if the items are available in the required quantities, and after accurately calculating postage, will we debit your card.

If we need to obtain additional stock to meet your order, we will contact you to confirm that this is acceptable and also advise of the expected lead-time for delivery.

No payment is taken until we are ready to send the goods you require.

The cost of postage will be calculated as accurately as possible.  We do not charge for "handling" or "packaging".

There is a comments and enquiry box on the shopping cart page where you can request a quote on delivery if you wish.

Payment Options

On-Line:   Shopping Cart using MasterCard, Visa or PayPal.  You also have the option of selecting Direct Deposit, in which case we will contact you with the cost including postage and provide you with our bank account details for the deposit.

By email or telephone:    We accept Visa, MasterCard, Direct Deposit or personal cheque.  Please note that goods will not be released or dispatched until the funds have been cleared in our account.  With cheques and Direct Deposits, this may take a couple of business days.  With credit cards, the process is completed the same day.

Our banking details for direct deposits is:

Bank:                  NAB (National Australia Bank)

Account name:   Australian Woodcraft Galleries

BSB:                   086 131

Account:             15980 3745

If you select PayPal or Direct Deposit as your payment option, we will contact you with payment instructions and the total sum required once delivery charges have been calculated.

Overseas Customers and Tax

All prices shown on our web-site include GST (Goods and Service Tax) which does not apply to overseas customers.  We are happy to quote you the GST free prices and shipping costs.  For your information, the GST rate in Australia is 10% (ten percent).

As an example, a product selling for $110 contains GST of $10, ($100 + 10% = $110).   To calculate the GST component, take one-eleventh off the retail price, eg. $110/11 = $10 GST.

Delivery

By default we use Australia Post.  Wherever possible we use Express Satchels within Australia for added security as they are individually bar-coded and consequently traceable.  However, bulky items, while meeting the weight limitations, sometimes exceed the volume capacity of the satchels.  Express satchels are priced as follows:

Up to 500 grams in weight = AU$9.20

500 grams to 3 kilograms in weight = $12.50

5 kg Express Satchels for bulkier items = $20.50

Overseas postage by default is Airmail.  Australia Post charges entirely by weight for overseas parcels and there are limits to the weight and dimensions for such parcels.

More information and their on-line calculator is here:   http://auspost.com.au/apps/international-parcel.html

We will always accurately calculate your postal costs and charge only that amount.

If you require options such as insurance or Registered Post, please contact us to allow an accurate quotation to be provided to you.

There is an email link at the bottom of this page and others strategically located on all pages of our web-site.  Do not hesitate to contact us with any query, or suggestions for improving our range and services. 

Privacy

We respect your privacy and will never divulge your details to any other person or organisation.  We will not contact you by any means except as necessary to complete a transaction that you have initiated, or to provide updates and special offers where you have specifically chosen to receive such communications.  You may email us at any time to have yourself removed from the mailing list.

Writing Instruments

Exclusive to Australian Woodcraft Galleries is an extensive range of high quality ballpoint, rollerball and fountain pens handcrafted by Chris Busby.  They incorporate carefully selected Australian timbers and beautiful resins, combined with top quality mechanisms featuring the use of precious metals such as Rhodium, Platinum, Titanium and Gold.

Beautifully crafted and finished, their small size, functionality and obvious quality make them ideal as corporate gifts.

Pewter

West Australian made pewter is available in a wide range of products ranging from ornamental figurines to bookmarks and serviette rings, and we can also arrange custom made corporate items such as belt buckles, coasters, medallions and key rings etc.
