HOW MUCH ARE PRE-ORDER DEPOSITS?

Pre-order deposits vary by brand.
They are usually 10-20% for apparel brands, but some do charge higher deposits.
Smaller items with a fast turn around usually have a 100% deposit and will be shipped to you as soon as they land.
A pre-order deposit is a sign of good faith that you are committed to the order so the brand can commit to producing this order for you.

WHEN IS MY PRE-ORDER DUE TO LAND?

When viewing a pre-order product, if you click on the pack and colour option the estimated arrival date will appear.
Please understand this is just an estimate and we allow a window of 10 business days either side of the ETA.

WHAT IF A PRE-ORDER DOESN'T LAND ON THE DUE DATE?

All due dates are an estimated arrival date of that style into our warehouse. Please allow 10 business days either side of a due date. Orders that land within this timeframe may not be cancelled.
During COVID times logistics into Australia are difficult and often delayed. Our brands are working to get your stock into the country asap and out to your store!
If your preorder is likely to ship to you outside of this window we will contact you to discuss your options.

CAN I CANCEL MY PRE-ORDER?

Pre-orders are non-cancellable as they are made specifically to your order by the brand.
If you find yourself in difficulty please speak with our team on 0416681530 to arrange a payment plan.
If your pre-order arrives and automatic payment is not successful, you will be contacted to pay the balance owing.
If we do not hear from you within 10 business days, we will need to cancel your order and you will forfeit the deposit on your pre-order.

WHAT IF I ORDER SOMETHING & IT'S NOT LIKE THE PICTURE?
