All shipments will be provided with a tracking number and insured with the carrier up to $100

Taxes, Duties and Customs

Please note that customs tariffs, taxes or import duties on arrival at the destination country are the sole responsibility of the customer. All our products are zero-rated for tax for international orders. For those in the European union, and in Brazil you may be contacted by customs for processing of your item.

Processing Timeframes

All our items that state are in stock, are physically in stock in our warehouse in Brisbane. We do not drop ship, or indicate we have items that we don't have physical stock of.

Processing time frames are as follows:

  • Board Games and accessories are Next Business Day.
  • 3DLevelup branded items are typically posted 1-3 Business Days.

For 3DLevelup branded items, whilst we have the items in stock, we need to often assemble, sort, quality check and pack your items which can take time. Sometimes our quality check prior to shipment will require us to re-print a small part.

If you have purchased a Pre-Order item (stated in the item name), our processing time is typically 5-10 business days as we need to print your order.

Business Hours

Our business operates Monday to Friday but we try and answer questions from the online chat outside business hours if able to do so. We understand many of our customers are in a very different time zone to us. Shipping drop offs and pickups are also Monday to Friday. 

Delivery Timeframes

For domestic shipping Australia Post typically delivers within 5 business days. We often see deliveries in Brisbane locations take 2 business days.

For international orders it is typically 9-26 days but we have seen this extend out to 35 days to some countries.

Shipment will always have a tracking number for you to be able to check status. You will receive an email with a link to our website where you can view tracking information once your order has been placed. We recommend you also provide your mobile for SMS or an reliable email account for shipping update notifications when you place your order.

If you lose your tracking number or do not see it, please contact us and we can provide. We are with you on the journey and more than happy to assist with shipping enquiries.

Our Personal Review and Recommendation 

We often play Star Realms as a quick 2 player fill in game. We've fairly much purchased every expansion and addon for this game as a favourite of ours. It's simple and light yet has so much depth in your build out strategies. Each faction offers very different abilities and traits which gives this game good character and a strong take that atmosphere and goes both directions. Scoring in the base game is a bit fiddly in comparison to the rest of the smooth running game, however this is easily fixed with using one of the free scoring apps on Google Play or Apple App Store. Strongly recommend downloading and using these apps when playing the game.

Build out your deck to beat your opponent. Will you capitalise on one faction , or take the best of each? See how lean can you get your deck by trashing those useless cards, don't underestimate that ability, then maximise those card abilities with double plays! Just watch out for that horrendous blob faction that will knock you out.

We would rank this game 8/10 for 2 players as we think this is where the game shines, it has tremendous replay-ability, fast turns, strategy with a bit of luck, fast to the table and a family favourite of deck building techniques that we still pull out and play 10 years later. Whilst it plays at higher counts with expansions, we much prefer it at 2 players.
