Do you ship this product Australia-wide?
Yes, this product ships Australia-wide via Australia Post or road courier. Select your preferred shipping method at checkout. Please note: we cannot deliver seed to Western Australia through online checkout because of WA biosecurity rules - see the Western Australia question below.
Can you ship this seed to Western Australia?
Not through online checkout. Western Australia’s biosecurity rules require all seed entering the state to be inspected by Quarantine WA on arrival and to travel with a Seed Analysis Certificate, and some seed (such as lucerne and sorghum) also needs a Plant Health Certificate. Seed that doesn’t comply can be seized, destroyed or sent back at the buyer’s cost, so checkout won’t offer delivery to WA addresses.
If you’re in WA, call us on (07) 5482 1692 or email tgrmorders@tomgrady.com.au. We’ll check whether your seed can be supplied with the certification WA requires and arrange it with you directly.
