Shipping

How the pieces ship.

One pressing, one shipment, one box. We mail every piece filed against a capsule together.

Last revised May 2026

01

The pressing model

1abel presses once a year, every 11.11. The next pressing — Capsule 3 — opens 11.11.26 at 17:00 GMT and starts shipping three weeks after the press runs. We pack every piece filed against that capsule together so a single box arrives at your door.

Waitlist customers are held until the press runs. You're charged 24 hours before, then we cut shipping labels.

03

Tracking & delivery

Each box ships with tracking. The link arrives in the same email that confirms the press has run. Filer is the only person who can change the address — once labels are cut, the box is on its way.

  • Carrier: Australia Post (domestic), DHL Express (international).
  • Lost in transit: claims filed within 30 days of the carrier's last update.
  • Failed delivery: returned to studio, re-mailed at flat $15 USD.
04

Packaging

Every box is recyclable cardboard with paper-tape (no plastic tape), tone-on-tone tissue lining, and a printed catalog card with the tracklist of your filing. The exterior is unbranded — your delivery person doesn't need to know what's inside.

05

Pre-order timing

The next pressing opens on 02.06.2026 at 17:00 GMT. Pre-orders close once the press is full or after 14 days, whichever comes first. Boxes start shipping three weeks later.
