Purchases can be made through our online store. In order to be able to meet the speedy delivery timeframes, we need to know the destination of the order, please enter the address before browsing products to view the availability of the items.
questions about orders and payments
We are currently accepting major credit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard and Amex. We are also offering Paypal payments.
Yes we do. If you have a PayPal account, you can use Paypal Pay in 4 to spread out your payments over time.
It is common to have items ordered that may be out of stock in the stores. Our shoppers will do our best to search and request for the items in store, however, this may not always be successful. You can easily view what you ordered and how many were located and delivered through the Live Tracking page. The link to the tracking page can be found within the order confirmation email, or under My Account > My Orders > Action > Track Order.
Within the tracking page, you will see the list of items ordered, those picked and delivered successfully are in Green, items that differ to what was ordered is in Red. Against each item is the “Qty” ordered, and “Supply” identifies how many were picked and delivered.
If you have been notified by our shopper that an item is out of stock, a process for a refund is automatically triggered. There may be 1-2 business days required to process the refund. Refunds of Reward Points will be visible immediately upon completion of the refund process. Refunds back to a credit card or debit credit card may require an additional 2-3 business days before the transaction is visible, depending on your financial institution.
If an order is in progress, we are unable to cancel the order without penalty. Depending on what stage the order is at, there may be cost implications, such as delivery fees. GimmeNow will endeavour to assist you with your order regardless, however, at times we are bound by the individual stores policies, which may include inability to obtain refunds based on change of mind etc.
It depends. There are laws in Australia that governs all retail businesses (this is called the ACL) – we will comply to the ACL as required by law. However, we are also bound by policies of individual stores, aside from those that must be complied with (the ACL). Regardless, GimmeNow will assist you through the matter until there is a reasonable resolution, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@gimmenow.com or through our Facebook messenger chat (bottom left corner). Also, check out our Ts & Cs for more information regarding our returns policy.
questions about delivery
No, GimmeNow does not deliver to Parcel Lockers or PO Boxes. We only deliver to residential addresses, such as apartments, houses, flats, or commercial locations, such as office buildings and the like.
Generally we anticipate all deliveries to arrive within 2 hours. However, there are certain circumstances where there may be delays, such as unavailability or couriers or shoppers at the time, or other unforeseeable situations such as traffic jams or vehicle break downs. If there will be such delays, we will endeavour to inform you as soon as we can.
