Quality Takes Time: As all our fabrics are custom printed to meet your specific needs, please allow a 10 to 12 day manufacturing turnaround. This timeframe ensures that every inch of your fabric receives the attention it deserves, resulting in a product that's as unique as you. While this is an estimated timeframe, kindly note that slight fluctuations may occur based on our current workload. Your patience ensures the precision and care we invest in every custom piece. Thank you for choosing artisanal quality and craftsmanship.

We get it, trust is hard-earned. That's why we've made it official. We're a proud licensee of the Australian Made Campaign, meaning our knit fabrics don't just wave the Aussie flag, they're certified by the Australia Made certification. We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk. But that's not all. We take our commitment to ethical production to heart. Our knit fabrics are not only 100% Australian-made, but we are also fully accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia. So when you choose Melco, you're choosing quality, authenticity, and ethical production all woven together. Just another way we're committed to offering the best to our customers!

Great question! At Melco, we believe in keeping things close to home. This is why we print and heat press our fabrics right here in-house. By overseeing the entire process from start to finish, we can ensure the high-quality, beautifully printed fabrics that our customers have come to expect from us. It's another way we are committed to delivering the best - from our house to yours!

For in-stock fabric, we'll set your order in motion within two to three business days from the time you place it. During public holidays or promotions, your patience will be much appreciated as we might need a tad longer to pack your order. We hustle from Monday to Friday and take a well-deserved pause on Public Holidays.

For made-to-order fabric (that includes our art printed fabrics), we request a bit more of your patience - around 10 to 12 full working days from the day you place your order to manufacture the fabric. Please note that this is an estimate and during busy periods and sales this timeframe may be extended.

Here's a crucial heads up: if your order contains both made-to-order (art printed fabrics) and standard in-stock plain fabrics, we'll ship your order as a single package when the art fabrics are ready for dispatch. If you're eager to get your standard in-stock fabrics sooner, we recommend placing a separate order. At Melco, we're all about getting you your order as quickly and efficiently as possible, while ensuring the quality and care you expect from us. Your understanding is much appreciated!

Our fabric is sold in 50cm increments for your convenience. If you require a longer length, add multiple quanities to your cart and it will be cut in one length. Example:

- Add two units to your cart for a 100cm length x width of fabric

- Add three units to your cart for a 150cm length x width of fabric

- Add four units to your cart for a 200cm length x width of fabric

Currently we offer shipping within Australia and to our friends in New Zealand.

We cap Standard domestic shipping at $12.99 AUD. Orders to New Zealand are based on the cubic volume at checkout. 

We believe in providing flexible options to cater to everyone's needs. That's why at checkout, we give you two choices for shipping:

Standard Postage - Shipped with the most economical means to your location (Australia Post or Aramex).
EXPRESS Postage - Also through Australia Post, for those who need their items quickly. 

But here's a heads up! Selecting "EXPRESS Postage" doesn't mean your order will jump the queue for dispatch or be shipped instantly - we'd need a team of superhumans for that! It simply means that once dispatched, your order will travel through the Express Post network of Australia Post, which is generally faster than Standard Post. We wish we could bend time, but until then, we appreciate your understanding!
