Answers
1. The prices on your site are in Australian dollars.
Can you tell me how much I will be paying in my own currency? Top
We
charge your credit card in Australian dollars. Your bank will convert this
to your local currency when they process the charge at their end. As the exchange
rate varies daily we cannot give you an exact amount, however, the following
currency converter will provide you with a reasonable estimate of the cost.

2. What payment methods do you accept? Top
We
accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express (Amex) using the Commonwealth
Bank merchant credit card processing service. You can also pay via Direct
Deposit, Cheque or Money Order. For more information, go to our Payment
Options
3. How secure are my credit card details? Top
Your credit card details are encrypted using SSL encryption technology which is the
same security used by many banks. The secure server software, Secure Socket
Layers (SSL) is among the best available for secure commerce transactions.
When exchanging personal data such as your credit card number, your name,
email address, etc., this data is encrypted so that it is incomprehensible
when sent across the Internet. When you purchase online, credit card purchases
are generally protected against fraud by law, and your liability is limited.
4. What happens if no-one is home when my gift basket
is delivered? Top
As a guide only, our couriers attempt to deliver to a business or home addresses
between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Unfortunately, we are unable give a
guaranteed time of delivery. If no-one is home to accept the delivery, the
courier may leave the goods with a trusted person (if authorised by you) if
it is safe to do so or a re-delivery card will be left asking the recipient to contact
the courier to arrange re-delivery. Re-delivery may incur an additional fee
of $15 if goods are returned to CoastShop (after 4 days at our courier's depot) because they could not be delivered.
If the recipient will not be home to accept the gift basket delivery, we recommend that you enter a delivery address where someone will be available
between the hours of 9am and 5pm on the delivery day (e.g at the recipient's work address).
5. I gave you the wrong address for an order I placed.
Can you resend it? Top
It is your obligation to provide us with the correct delivery address details
at the time of ordering. Should you enter the wrong address, we are not obliged
to re-deliver the order to the correct address at our expense. Any additional
delivery charge will be paid by the customer for re-delivery when the address
given on the original order is incorrect.
6. What happens if you are out of stock of a product
I ordered? Top
Where an item is not available, due to circumstances beyond our control, we
will give you a full refund if product can not be obtained within 7 days.
If we cannot fill your order within our usual time frame we will contact you
immediately.
7. What is your policy for the return or exchange
of products?
