We take our collectibles VERY seriously, and we know you do too. So rather than risk theft, damage, and other postal mishaps ALL of our shipments are handled by Auspost eParcel and we require all deliveries to be signed for unless you specifically request us to leave it at the door.

This means your delivery is packed with love and care and shipped direct to your door, trackable, insured against damage, and fast!

We have created our own custom boxes that are thicker than others on the market, and we are constantly experimenting with our box supplier in the hope of improving them even more. In the case of shipments that are too large to use our custom boxes we double-box and buffer them with newspaper. You’ll open your package and won’t believe how ridiculously protected things are 🙂

Please note that if you choose to waive our standard requirement for a signature we will have no recourse with Auspost should your item go missing.

When can I expect my delivery?

Excellent question! There are a few variables involved, but as a rule the following guidelines apply:

– if the item is in stock at our store, we’ll usually have it on its way within a few business days. This time will vary based on the time of year, and when peak periods occur this can change.

– if the item isn’t at the store, but is in stock at the warehouse, allow a few more days for them to process the order and get it to us. Sometimes we’re forced to do this if a box is damaged and we didn’t notice it when putting it on the shelf, or if the item is uncommon or from a more obscure line that we don’t hold in regular stock

– if the item is out of stock at the warehouse we’ll contact you with some options. Our stock is synced with that of the warehouse several times per week, so generally speaking you won’t find items on our site that are vaulted or discontinued unless we have physical stock on our shelves.

– at times there are massive demands on our resources – often due to sales, or during peak periods around the big conventions and associated releases (eg ECCC, SDCC, NYCC, etc). While these times don’t generally delay shipment schedules outside of the maximum 7 business days we use as our internal “worst case scenario” for getting shipments out, they can slow things down compared to our regular shipping times.

You should expect to see an email with shipping notification and tracking details no later than 7 business days from the time of your order – if it has taken longer than that, please contact us ASAP!

If you have a specific deadline you need to meet with your order, please contact us via livechat (bottom right of the website), Facebook Messenger, or email to let us know and and we’ll confirm with you that it is possible. We will go to the ends of the earth for our customers to meet your important deadlines, and often upgrade to Express Post if that is what it takes.

What happens if my delivery is damaged?

First and most important thing – don’t panic! We understand that it’s terrible to receive damaged items and we hate to see it happen, but rest assured that we stand behind our boxes and our packing skills, and we back all shipments with insurance to cover anything that happens during the transit.

We take the condition of our deliveries VERY seriously, and go to great effort and expense to have them reach you in absolutely perfect condition every time. If the box that your shipment came in (the outer box, not the Pop)  is damaged, tell the driver at the time and send us a photo. This helps us out a lot with our insurance and warranty claim.

If you open up our box and the contents are damaged, again please take photos for us documenting the damage and email us right away. The sooner you get in touch, the sooner we can get the insurance claim going (to help us) and the sooner we can sort out returns and replacements (to help you).

We’ll make sure you get your mint condition item, even if the worst happens we’ll take care of you whenever possible.

Overseas Shipments

We ship to Australia and New Zealand ONLY. If you reside in another country and elect to use a third-party reshipper we have no control over the method in which your parcel is stored and reshipped and are not responsible for the condition in which it arrives after its additional travel.

We spare no expense on shipping and insurance to our Australian and New Zealand destinations to ensure they reach you in tip-top shape, and we cannot guarantee that same level of care from other parties and will not be responsible for any damages.

It is for this reason we discourage use of reshippers and we will refund and ban such addresses when they are flagged in our system.

Any other questions?

Email us any time at hello@popbot.com.au, use the contact form at the bottom-right corner, or send us a private message via our Facebook page. All of these contact methods are monitored almost around the clock so we will do our very best to get back to you ASAP.
