Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Your delivery cost will vary depending on the size, weight and location of the products you choose to purchase as well as your delivery location of choice. Normally the larger the item, the more expensive delivery will be. Extremely large goods (i.e. items requiring a two-man lift) will also incur higher delivery rates. At the checkout page you will be offered a number of delivery services to choose from.

You may incur additional delivery fees/freight charges at checkout (in excess of the fees and charges specified above) for:

• Large quantity or bulky orders.

Please read our Shipping & Delivery for more information and our full list of Metro Postcodes.

We recommend all deliveries be shipped to a location that is attended during business hours, whether that is a home, work or other address, to minimize any re-delivery delays and/or fees.

As we use couriers to deliver all parcels, products will not be delivered to an unattended address. The courier will require a signature from an occupant at the specified delivery address at the time of delivery. If no one is available to sign for any parcel, a card will be left and the parcel will be re-directed to the nearest Courier depot. You will then be responsible for collecting the parcel from that depot or paying an additional charge for re-delivery.

Items considered bulky will be identified in the description of the product on the product details page.

At checkout, you will be notified of shipping costs for your approval. These are calculated automatically by the site in accordance with our courier companies' freight charges via a courier aggregation application (supplied by Temando). Bulky items are those with either a high weight or large cubic volume. Products are allocated as bulky as determined by the shipping methods of our courier companies.

Please note if your cart contains non-bulky and bulky items, your cart will be calculated accordingly.

We use a selection of courier services with delivery times between 3 - 5 business days after dispatch for metro areas, and 3 - 10 business days after dispatch for regional areas. Courier deliveries are made during business hours, Monday to Friday only.

We deliver products to P.O. boxes except for bulky items or dangerous goods.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to provide international shipping.

While we endeavour to fulfil orders as soon as possible, your order may be delayed if:

• An incorrect or incomplete address is provided during checkout.
• The address had no-one to sign for the parcel.
• Incorrect payment information was entered against the order. Please double check all details at time of checkout as your order will only be created upon receipt of payment.
• In the event an order is flagged for verification we may need to get in contact via phone before dispatching some orders. Personal details may need to be confirmed for fraud prevention if we are unable to verify the shipping destination to protect the card holder, and this may delay shipping.
• Occasionally if a particular product is in high demand we may need to supply product from outside of our standard delivery network. This can cause delays in dispatch if orders are directed to regional locations etc.

If your order is not received within the quoted delivery period please check your order progress via our Track & Trace portal, alternatively contact our Customer Care Centre via email or webchat. We will generally respond to online enquiries within 24 hours.

Our Click & Collect service allows you to purchase online and pick up your order from your local BCF store (subject to stock availability). Simply add your items to the shopping cart and select ‘ In-store Pickup’. The shopping cart will check for available stock and show on screen ‘All Products Available’. If your chosen store is currently out of stock you will be given a list of alternate stores or if you prefer you will have the option to change your order to Home Delivery.

Within 2 business hours of placing your order you will receive a confirmation message via email or SMS. We will confirm that your order has been processed and is ready for collection. If there are any issues throughout the process our team will be in contact to discuss your order, alternatively you can contact our Customer Care Centre via email or webchat.

Once you have received an order confirmation make your way into your BCF store of choice, with your photo ID and your order confirmation in hand. We will have your items packed and ready to go.

Our Click & Collect service is available in all BCF stores across the country but is still subject to product availability. You will be able to check the product availability in your local store on both the product details page and at the cart.

Some products online may be limited to Home Delivery only; you will be advised on the product page and at the checkout if your chosen items are not available for Click & Collect.

If the preferred Click & Collect store is unable to fulfil all items in your order for any reason, a Store Team Member will contact you to discuss alternative arrangements, if you have any issues please contact our Customer Care Centre via email or webchat.

We want you to be totally satisfied with our products and services.

There may be times when you will need to return a product purchased either online or from one of our stores. Our Returns Policy is designed to assist you with your return.

Please read Returns & Refunds if you have any questions or are unhappy with your purchase.

Contact Free Click & Collect is our way of keeping our customers and staff safe during the COVID-19 outbreak. This option allows you to order your shopping online and collect it from an eligible store without having to come into close contact with others.

After your order has been placed you will receive an email or SMS (depending on what you selected as preferred contact) confirming your order is ready for collection, along with the store details. The confirmation alert is sent to you when the order has been processed in full; therefore visiting the store prior to receiving the alert may result in your items not being ready.

Orders must be collected during store opening hours. Store trading hours are displayed online on our store locator page and can vary by location.
