Pro Tip & Culinary Block Care: To ensure the lifetime durability, rich wood grain aesthetics, and mechanical longevity of this premium cutlery set, always avoid the dishwasher and never submerge your wooden handles in a wet kitchen sink. Simply hand-wash the stainless steel blades with warm, soapy water immediately after meal prep, dry them completely with a soft towel, and return them safely to the beech block. To keep your workstation looking pristine, occasionally wipe the exterior of the beechwood block and the knife handles with a small drop of food-safe mineral oil to make the natural timber grains pop!

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.
