I have placed an online order but need to change or cancel my order?

Please contact us immediately and we will do our best to change the order before it leaves our store.  If you contact us by phone (+61-3-52419756) please have your Order ID available.  If you prefer to contact us by email, send us your request by email.

Do you have a Back Order system?
No we do not. We try to keep sufficient stock on all items but sometimes as Murphy indicates, we may just have shipped a large quantity of an item as your order comes in. We will then fullfill your order without this item and you would need to re-order. We do not invoice items that are not shipped.
____________________________________________________________________

What is your returns policy?

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are not 100% satisfied with any product, simply email us with the details.  All returns have to be done within 30 days from invoice and products have to be in new, unused and resalable condition. Some products might have a longer warrantee period though.  We will refund postage only if the product is defect or incomplete.

When will you ship my order?

Australian clients
Most parcels are sent via Australia Post. We try to ship within two days and then delivery is usually another 1 to 3 working days.  This can of course not be guaranteed. If you require delivery urgently, indicate this on your order form or email / phone us and we will quote you on an Express Post option (next business day, most cities). 

New Zealand Clients
Most parcels go via Australian Post and delivery can be anything from 4 to 10 working days.
