Do you provide Buy Now Pay Later options?

Not at this point in time. However, we offer the use of all major credit cards.

How can I easily tell if my order had missing items?

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.

What happens if an item I purchased is out of stock?

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.

Can I cancel an order?

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.

Can I return an item I purchased?

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.
