Collectiong your order from our Store:

Yes, you can collect from our Store based at 395 Princes Hwy Rockdale, just next door to Spotlight. To help us secure stock for you, you can still place an order online and select collection as the delivery method. If the goods aren’t in stock at the time of ordering, we’ll contact you to let you know when they arrive, and again when they get here. Please make sure you bring ID with you.

Out-of stock goods:

An item being listed on our website does not explicitly mean it is ready for immediate despatch, as customers may wish to preorder items or join the queue on items with a heavy backorder. Our website uses an algorithm to determine how long it will take to ship your order, however, this is just an indication, and if you need the order within a certain timeframe, please contact us for estimated shipping times.

Whilst we make every effort to ensure that the stock availability information on the site is kept up-to-date, it is not always 100% accurate and should therefore be used as a guideline only. If any part of your order is out-of-stock we will let you know as soon as possible and advise you when we expect to receive more. Part-shipment of orders (shipping the items that are available at the time with the rest to follow) is available by arrangement, but may be subject to additional freight charges.

Pre- or back-ordered goods:

As we source most items direct from the manufacturers, if an item is out-of-stock, it’s likely to be difficult to source anywhere in Australia. You can still place an order for this product; depending on the product, we may ask for a holding deposit which is typically 10-15%. This will secure your place in the queue. Whilst you’re in our queue you can continue to look around and, in the unlikely event that you do find the item available elsewhere, you just cancel your order with us and receive a full refund.

Once the goods become available and are allocated to your order, we’ll contact you to let you know and ask you to arrange payment at that time (all standard payment options are available).
