All customer payment information is secure and Happy Pessimist Clothing Co does not have access to this information. Happy Pessimist Clothing Co will only have your name, email address, phone number, and postal address that you have provided to us when placing your order.
 
PRE-ORDERS
 
Pre-orders are charged at the time the order is placed.
 

When shipping pre-orders alongside 'in stock' items, we ship the entire order along with the pre-order item when the pre-order becomes available. This is due to only one shipping cost being incurred on the order placed.
 
If you would like your 'in stock' items sooner, it is recommended to place two separate orders with the pre-order item placed on its own.

We ship all orders via Australia Post from Hobart, Tasmania (lutruwita).
Orders under $99 will incur a shipping fee of $9.95 (standard) or $12.99 (express) automatically applied at checkout. Free express shipping on orders over $99 (Aus only).
