Chain Maille ... No Longer Just For Knights

Tomorrow is the day, the day that madness begins, the day that all good maillers get to reduce their wish lists a little…..Aussie Maille’s 12 Days of Christmas Sale.

As a reminder, we run the sale for 12 days starting December 1st. Each day is a new sale, you must buy it that day to get the sale price. Simply placing it in your cart won't do, you must finalise the sale. We can't do any retro sales if you forget, so please make sure you know what day the sale that you are interested in is on

Changes to overseas delivery options. Due to an ongoing issue with lost/wandering overseas parcels we have had to make the decision to enforce tracking. Australia Post will not take any responsibility for lost parcels and pretty much refuses to look into anything that does not have tracking on it. As much as this annoys us, we feel we have no option but to charge for tracking. We are sorry that we have to pass this along to our customers, we have held off doing this for as long as we can but with rising numbers going astray we feel it is better all round if we, and you, can keep an eye on your parcels of goodness. We hope you understand.
We decided to run an EOFY sale.....our Epic Opportunity For You sale. What this means that only for 3 days will you get 20% off our stock (excluding package deals and clearance items).  Sale runs from Friday 17th June through to Sunday 19th of June.  All prices valid until sold out or sale ends, there will be no rainchecks. Get in quick and early to grab what you want at a great price.
