Only on the very odd occasion do tags go missing.

Can we track our order?

Yes once we have made and sent your order, you will receive an email from us confirming we have posted. In that email you will be given a tracking number and the website where you can track your order. In our experience, Australia Post do not update their tracking website as regularly as we would like therefore you may find that your order reaches you before it is updated on their website. Please Note: If your order goes missing in the Post there can be a delay depending on Australia Post's investigation. This delay is totally out of our control and has only happened in a few instances over the past 8 years we have been making ID Tags online.
