Are your compasses suitable for use in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere?

All compasses sold by Wildfire Sports are southern hemisphere optimised, unless specifically stated otherwise. Please be careful purchasing compasses from overseas website as they will not always be southern hemisphere optimised and so may not give an accurate reading.

COVID-19 UPDATE: The recent increase in online order volumes, border closures, decrease in available air cargo space and social distancing requirements within sorting facilities are causing delays with all carriers. This should not affect your delivery beyond taking a few extra days than you might expect at other times. Rest assured that all our staff and couriers are working hard to make sure you receive your purchases as soon as possible.

Tracking: All our parcels are sent with tracking. You will receive a dispatch notification with tracking details via email once your parcel has been dispatched.

We can ship to a PO Box or Parcel Locker address (some exclusions apply for certain heavy or high value items). We may contact you via email for an alternative delivery address if your order is not able to be shipped to your supplied address for any reason.

Authority to Leave: By default, we send parcels with ‘Signature Required’. By indicating that a signature is not required in the checkout, you authorise the delivery driver to leave your parcel unattended at your shipping address and you take full responsibility for the parcel once it is scanned as delivered. We are unable to pursue any claims for lost items once the parcel is scanned as delivered.

Preorder items: The expected date displayed on the product page and in the cart is when we expect more stock to arrive in our warehouse. These items will be dispatched immediately once they arrive at our warehouse. If the date changes, we will let you know as soon as possible. Please note preorder dates are often subject to change by the brands. We do our best to get orders to customers ASAP but the exact release date is beyond our control.

Lost Parcels: If you have not received your parcel within the estimated delivery time and you are worried that the parcel is missing or significantly delayed, please contact the courier for an update (contact details are available on the tracking page).

Customs Fees: Shipments sent to countries other than Australia are sold exclusive of GST (Australian VAT) and may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Please note we are legally required to declare the full value of the goods (not including shipping charges) on all packages shipped internationally. We cannot inaccurately describe the contents, claim a lower value or mark as a gift. Please do not ask or expect us to do any of the above. For details of Customs charges please consult your own Customs authorities for the latest rates.
Packages which are returned to us as a result of the recipient's refusal to pay import duties and/or taxes are not eligible for a refund; we are only able to issue a store credit less any postage costs and returned parcel fees that we have incurred.

24 Month Warranty covering manufacturing defects, replaced or repaired.
