BuyNatural Marketplace Shipping Policy

BuyNatural is Australia’s leading online marketplace for Natural, Organic, and Eco-Friendly products; connecting buyers with multiple sellers who offer a wide range of these types of products. It’s important to note that many Sellers on BuyNatural ship their own orders directly and therefore these Sellers have their own specific shipping policies, which means that buyers should be aware that these policies may vary from one seller to another. This information is crucial for buyers who want to make informed purchasing decisions and have a smooth shopping experience on the platform. Each product page, clearly identifies who is shipping your items. For items shipped directly by the Seller, it states “SOLD BY <SELLER NAME> and SHIPPED BY <SELLER NAME>. 

For items shipped by BuyNatural (as identified as SHIPPED BY BUYNATURAL on the product page) the following shipping policy relates to these order dispatches.
