Pro Tip for Retailers: The N°09 Oysters & Shellfish folder is an exceptionally high-turning item because it solves a classic culinary safety issue—conventional fixed shucking knives are dangerous to pack for picnics or boat trips, whereas this folding model locks closed completely safely. To keep the countertop display looking flawless, use a clean cloth to wipe down the box as needed, and remind your customers that while Padouk wood is exceptionally water-resistant, it loves a simple hand-wash with warm water and an occasional rub of food-safe mineral oil to keep its rich, vibrant reddish-brown color popping for years!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
