Your estimated arrival date depends on two things:

1. Production time – how long it takes us to make your trophies and awards.

2. Delivery time – estimated express shipping time to your postcode.

Our online delivery calculator combines both to show your estimated arrival date, making it easy to choose the best option for your deadline and budget.

Production time

We offer five production options to suit your timeframe and budget:

• Standard: 5 business days. Our default option, offering a great balance of speed and value.

• Saver: 6 business days. Save on delivery costs by allowing a little extra production time.

Our priority production options move your order to the front of the queue:

• Fast: 4 business days. $40 or 20% of your order total, whichever is greater.

• Fastest: 3 business days (12 noon AEST order cut-off). $50 or 30% of your order total, whichever is greater.

Note: Priority production surcharges include express delivery. Exact pricing is calculated at checkout based on your order total.  Priority options may be limited during peak seasons.

Delivery time

All orders are shipped via Australia Post Express. Estimated shipping time to your postcode is added to your selected production timeframe to calculate your expected arrival date.

Please note:

• Priority production may be unavailable during peak periods, typically November.

• Some customised products require longer production times, including:

  • Honour boards and logo ribbons: 8 business days

  • Custom ribbons: 8 business days from artwork approval

  • Custom medals, coins and lapel pins: approximately 6 weeks

Any extended production timeframes will be displayed on the relevant product page.

You will receive status update emails at key times during production.  As soon as your order is completed & dispatched you will receive an email containing a tracking link.  

Additionally you can track your order at any time on the Track My Order page. Simply enter the email used to place your order and either your sales order number or you web order reference number.

Yes!  And we recommend you do.  The small fee is dependent on the value of your cart and is calculated at checkout.

Note: late delivery is NOT covered by freight insurance.

Yes! Just be sure the delivery address contains an obvious safe and secure location.  Simply select  ‘Authority to leave in a safe place out of the weather’ on the ‘confirm & pay’ page during checkout. By selecting this authority you are releasing National Trophies of responsibility for the goods once delivery to your address is complete.

The default delivery authority choice on our website is Authority to leave.  If you retain this choice and you are not home when delivery is attempted, then your parcel will be left at your home in a safe place out of the weather.

If instead you choose the Signature required option and you are not home when delivery is attempted, AusPost will leave you a calling card.  This card will provide information about how you can arrange collection of your order, usually from your local post office or parcel locker.  

For time sensitive deliveries, we recommend you enter a business address if possible.  Deliveries to business addresses are reliably quicker than to residential addresses.  

Yes, and we encourage you to use a business address where possible, especially for time sensitive shipments.  Deliveries to business addresses are proven to be more reliably quicker than to residential addresses. 

Residential deliveries can also have the occasional complication of having your parcel end up at your local post office for collection (if you have selected the Signature required option and you are not home at the time of delivery).

Yes!  Our delivery partners are AusPost Express and StarTrack Premium.  AusPost is the only service in Australia that delivers to every single address nationwide including PO boxes.  

No. We do however ship to every corner of Australia

Our website uses address validation supplied by AusPost, which only validates Australian addresses.

However to get around this, we advise you to either enter an Australian billing address, or tick the box 'Billing details are the same'.  Either way, please leave a note in 'Other relevant information' (just below) of your correct overseas billing address and we'll update this in our system when processing your order.

We do not offer a pick up service. Our focus is to offer fast and affordable delivery.

Delivery fees start from just $9.90 and vary depending on the production speed you choose. Express delivery pricing by production option is below:

• Best Value (flexible) production: 7 or more business days - $9.90 or FREE for orders over $149
• Saver production: 6 business days - $12.90

Absolutely!  We’re happy to help with orders of any size, whether you just need a single trophy or a bulk order.  Every order, no matter how small, receives the same careful attention, quality checks, and reliable service.

To make very small orders possible, a modest handling fee applies:

This can be tricky as it could potentially delay your order, and we definitely don't want to miss your presentation date.  We strongly advise you to place your order as soon as possible.  For the winner's names, we suggest you use one of the following options:

• replace the winners' names with the word WINNER - this is a cost effective and popular solution, and most recipients understand the reason behind this given the time restrictions.
• leave a blank space for the name to be added at a later date - this can be expensive to do after the fact, however some clients still prefer this option.

Our office is open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm (AEST).

We close on QLD public holidays and for our annual shutdown between Christmas & early January.

Our average email response time is less than 2 hours, however this may extend to 4 hours during peak periods.

Anything you want of course! 

If you need some inspiration, almost every trophy and award on our site has sample personalisation in high resolution for you to view.

Our preferred file types are:

• Portable Document Format .pdf
• Encapsulated Postscript .eps
• Adobe Illustrator .ai
• Corel Draw .cdr

Other acceptable image types are (as long as they are at least 100kb in size):

• Standard photo file .jpg 
• Portable Network Graphic .png
• Bitmap .bmp

Our design team will assess the suitability of your uploaded file for engraving / printing and contact you with any issues.

Yes.  If you are purchasing from our range of corporate awards and trophy cups,  our design team will send you an artwork proof to review and approve before production begins.

Depending on which production option you choose, you should expect to receive your artwork proof 4-5 days before your scheduled dispatch date. If you have chosen one of our Priority Production options, you will receive your artwork proof in 1 business day.

For all other basic awards, such as sports trophies and medals, you will style these yourself using our styling editor during the checkout process.  It includes both spelling and grammar check features and in most cases lets you preview your award as you type.  The onus is on you to enter all details correctly (e.g. names, dates etc) and to choose the most appropriate fonts and styles for your requirements. 

We use different processes depending on which one has the best effect on a particular product. These include:

Laser Engraving - a laser is used to etch your design either directly into the surface of your award or on an engraving plate attached to your award, using a high-energy, focused laser beam.  Hugely versatile, we can use this process for engraving sports trophies, acrylic awards, crystal awards, glass awards, plaques and more.

UV Printing - is a process where UV curable inks are laid down directly to the surface of the award, which are then cured by a UV light for a bright, textured and durable finish.  Our new generation UV printers allow us to print directly onto flat surfaces of glass, crystal, plastic, metal and timber products, creating beautiful, realistic textures and vivid colours with incredible detail.  Hugely versatile, we can use this process for printing on sports trophies, acrylic awards, crystal awards, glass awards, plaques and more.

Rotary/Diamond Drag Engraving - is the process by which a spindle driven tool cuts into the surface of the material to a set depth, carving a groove or character into the surface.  Alternatively in softer metals, a diamond tipped cutting tool drags or routs the groove into the surface of the award.  Although attractive, this is an expensive & time intensive method which we generally only use for our range of prestige silver cups, or to match engraving on existing perpetual awards.

Colour Sublimation: is a process through which sublimation inks are printed onto specialty paper, which is then heat transferred to aluminium plate with a colour receptive coating.  Sublimation has mostly been phased out by UV colour printing, although we still use the process in a small number of applications where UV can't be used.

This varies by product and is dictated by the size of the printable / engravable area.

You can find specific details on each product page (noted in 'Specifications'). For each item we've allowed what we assess to be the maximum amount while still being readable.

Yes. Simply provide us your engraving / printing info as a PDF file with fonts converted to curves, or a high resolution image file (.jpg).  Call us to discuss if you're unsure how to do this.

You will receive an artwork proof for you to approve before your order goes to production.
