Important before ordering prom, formal or bridal dresses
Due to the scale of our collection, fast-moving styles and our Dress Registry, we strongly recommend contacting us before placing your order if you are purchasing a prom, formal or bridal gown.
This allows our team to:
- Check stock on hand
- Confirm factory production timeframes if the style needs to be backordered
- Review our Dress Registry for your event
- Provide clear, written guidance for the exact size, colour and delivery timing of your gown
Because styles can sell through quickly, we kindly ask that you only enquire when you are ready to proceed with ordering and payment. Once confirmed, we will email you detailed instructions tailored to your specific item, so there are no surprises.
Whether you’re shopping online or visiting our iconic Gold Coast showroom, our goal is to ensure your dress arrives on time — and your experience feels seamless, supported and stress-free.

- Australia Post Tracking Tool: Track Your Parcel
- Australia Post App: Download Here
- Parcel Locker Services: Find a Locker

What happens after my order is dispatched?
You will receive an email with your tracking information once your parcel has been shipped. This allows you to monitor its journey and plan for its arrival.
Important Note:
Please ensure your shipping address is accurate and secure. If using Authority to Leave (ATL), One Honey Boutique cannot be held responsible for lost parcels. For the safest delivery, consider using a Parcel Locker or selecting a delivery option requiring a signature.
For additional updates on your order status, log into your One Honey Account.
One Honey operates warehouses in China, the USA, and Australia. These strategically located facilities allow us to efficiently manage inventory and streamline shipping, ensuring faster delivery to our customers around the world.
In some cases, your order may ship directly from the designer's warehouse. This ensures quicker delivery times but may mean the package does not include One Honey branded packaging. Rest assured, the quality and authenticity of your purchase are always guaranteed.
🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN ORDERS
All orders are sent with signature on delivery whenever possible. However, couriers may override this and use Authority to Leave (ATL) if they determine the delivery address has a secure location.
What is Authority to Leave (ATL)?
Authority to Leave (ATL) allows couriers to leave your parcel at a secure location without requiring a signature. While this option offers convenience, it comes with risks. If ATL is selected by the customer or courier, One Honey cannot be held responsible for lost or missing parcels.
For the most secure delivery, we recommend using a PO Box or Parcel Locker. These options ensure your parcel is stored safely until you are able to collect it.
Orders are shipped via Australia Post, but other couriers may be assigned for certain remote areas.
When your order is dispatched the tracking information will show all the details of the delivery vendor.
A shipment email will be issued to you, please ensure you check promotions and spam folder and mark all One Honey emails as VIP or safe sender.
Should there be multiple items in the order they may arrive at different times, each with their own tracking email.
For remote areas, such as far North QLD, Western Australia (WA), and the Northern Territory (NT), delivery may take slightly longer than the quoted timeframes.
📦 PACKAGING & COLLECTION
All orders are packed with care to protect your purchase during transit.
Smaller dresses are lovingly packaged in a beautiful presentation box with tissue paper.
Larger, delicate or bulkier gowns may be dispatched in a protective garment bag or a larger unbranded shipping box, depending on size and structure and boning inside.
In some cases, items may be shipped directly from a designer or factory using non-branded satchels or boxes. This helps ensure faster delivery. Regardless of packaging, quality and authenticity are always guaranteed.
Yes. Selected items may be eligible for free showroom collection.
Collection is:
- By appointment only
- Available Tuesday to Friday
- Not available during school holidays or peak periods
If you wish to collect your order, please contact us before placing your order so we can confirm eligibility and arrange an appointment.
For school formal dress collections, a parent or guardian must be present if you are under 18 years of age and not paying for the dress yourself.
Orders selected for showroom collection are held for a maximum of 14 days (2 weeks) from the date the item is ready for pickup.
Once your order arrives, our team will contact you directly to arrange a mutually agreed collection time. Please do not attempt to book a collection appointment independently — our team will guide you through the process.
If an order is not collected within this timeframe and no alternative arrangement has been agreed, additional fees or re-shipping may apply.
