FAQ's

I have a question about a product.

We're a real store with staff who work 7 days a week. If you have a query about anything at all, the quickest way to find the answer is to give us a call on 8323 8299. We're happy to help.

Do you offer sale and promotions?

Many businesses operate by inflating prices in order to offer deep discounts at a later date (i.e., Member only deals, Boxing Day Sales, Black Friday sales.) We don't participate in that because it's in our ethos to offer affordable pricing every day to everyone.

However...

Twice a year we have a genuine seasonal clearance sale with prices up to 50% off, in-store only. Follow us on socials + subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when sales are released.

You can also find a sales section located within the front entrance of our McLaren Vale store that features deep discounts on seasonal and discontinued items year-round.
