HOW MUCH DOES SHIPPING COST?
We offer FREE freight across Australia for online orders of $39 or more. If your order is under $39 there is a flat fee of $7.70 for the delivery of your freshly roasted coffee.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECEIVE MY COFFEE?
Once your order has left our Eagle Farm factory, it can take 1 to 5 business days to be delivered, depending on your location. Remote areas may experience longer delivery times, so please contact our team for an estimate before you place your order.
Limited edition coffee is roasted to order just for you, so please allow for a few extra days from order until dispatch. Any orders placed on a weekend or on a public holiday will be processed by our team the next business day. Please note that there may be some dispatch and shipment delays following long weekends or public holidays.

I HAD $1 CHARGED TO MY ACCOUNT & IT STAYED FOR A FEW DAYS. WHAT IS THIS?
What is It?
In an effort to prevent credit card fraud our website payment gateway, Braintree, places a pending authorisation on unknown credit cards to authenticate the account.
This amount varies depending on what type of card you have and which bank you are with. It is not a charge, only a pending authorisation.
On the Merlo website, we give you the option to save your credit card details when you create a Friend of Merlo account with us.
This saves you the hassle of having to enter your card number over and over again each time you order.
You can do this when you create an account by clicking “Payment Methods” and then ‘Add a Payment Method’ button.
But is it safe?
Using the ‘save payment method’ feature is extremely safe. We don’t store your credit card information on our database, once entered, it gets locked away with our secure payment gateway, Braintree, in their Vault. Braintree, a subsidiary of PayPal are renowned for their Vault technology.
When a payment method is stored in the Vault, the information is encrypted by the Braintree gateway and associated with a unique payment method token.
Card Verification – How it Works
Card verification is a strong first-line defence against potentially fraudulent cards. It ensures that the credit card number provided is associated with a valid, open account and can be stored in the Vault and charged successfully. To do this, it must first verify the card.
Braintree verifies your credit card by running either a $0 or $1 authorization and then automatically voiding it. Where a $1 authorization returns a successful result, we immediately follow up with an automatic void request to ensure that the transaction will disappear from the cardholder’s statement as soon as possible.
It’s important to note that some banks do not recognize void requests immediately. It’s possible that after the void is issued, you will still see the pending charge. But that charge is just that, pending, no money is actually withdrawn from the account and even if the void is not recognized, the transaction will expire and disappear after a few days.

6-8 weeks for whole beans
3-4 weeks for ground coffee
Each bag is date stamped with the day the beans were roasted and packed in air-tight bags with a one-way valve to let gas out without letting moisture or other gases in. We recommend all our customers order smaller amounts regularly for the best flavour.
There are a lot of variables which can affect this figure, but we’d generally say you can make around 70 cups of coffee with every kilogram of whole beans.
