Problems with Sellers or Merchants


Item not received

When you first place your order, we forward each part of your order to the appropriate merchant for fulfillment. We expect all merchants on BIGshop.com.au to maintain a high level of customer service: keeping you notified of shipping times, delays or any other order information. We include their contact information in your order information so you can speak with them directly regarding any concerns, changes or even cancellations you might have. BIGshop.com.au also has a "your account" section for account holders that lists your order history and contains any order updates we have received from the merchants you've ordered from.

In the unlikely event that your item has not arrived within 10 days please follow the following steps:

1. Check the merchants shipping information page in their Bshop. There may be a reason why all of a particular merchants products take a long time to arrive

2. Contact the merchant by email or phone (details can be found in merchants Bshop).

3. Raise a dispute against the merchant (click here to raise a dispute)

We want to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your shopping experience. You can also rate the responsiveness of the merchant by leaving feedback for each merchant you buy from in “Your Account” section.

Item significantly different than described



We know that it's never pleasant to have a problem with an order. By opening an item dispute in the Resolution Centre, you can contact the Merchant, keep track of your communication, and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

Most disputes can be resolve through communication and it's best to contact the Merchant as soon as you recognise a potential problem. You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre within 45 calendar days of the order placed.

If you're unable to resolve the dispute, you can ask BIGshop.com.au to investigate by escalating the dispute to mediation. You can escalate a dispute to mediation after the merchant responds to your dispute, or within 14 calendar days of the dispute being opened.
