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.

How long should I expect my order to arrive?

For instant delivery 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.

Orders placed outside of operational hours will be processed the next business day and will not be delivered in under 2 hours. Keep an eye on the tracking page for your order to see where it is at and when it will arrive. We will endeavour to get your order to you as soon as possible.

For non instant delivery options, the estimated number of days are listed within the options, however, we are reliant on third party couriers / postal services which may at times experience congestion in their delivery network. Tracking will be provided for you to keep an eye on your orders should this be the case.

Should I tip my courier?

Why not? “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” ~ Aesop

How do I track my delivery?

On completion of your order, you would have received an email to confirm the order. There is tracking link within the email that will take you to the tracking page. Alternatively, there is also a link to “Track Order” within My AccountMy Orders, under the heading Action.

Can I request for my delivery order to be left unattended?

For instant delivery we currently do not offer Authority to Leave options as we expect that there will be a receiver present when the items arrive. We also require our couriers to scan an order specific QR code that is provided in the order tracking link to deliver the items successfully. 

For parcel post through Australia Post and other shipping partners, this may be possible depending on their policies. However, there may be times when items could not be left unattended due to reasons such as safety or risk of loss / damage, in these cases the items may be sent to a local post office to pick up at your convenience.
