Multi Item Purchasing & Combined Freight: (Limited to purchases made all on the same day)

If you wish to purchase more than one item and have them combined into one shipment to save on freight charges, please follow these steps:

• Browse the items you wish to purchase using the Buy Now function, identify which one has the single highest freight charge, select this item and pay as normal via Pay Now including the freight charges.
• Select each additional item you wish to purchase, choosing “buyer to collect” as the freight option and make payment as normal via Pay Now. - We will combine all your purchases into one parcel and dispatch together.
• For auction items that require bidding, we will calculate the shipping total after you have completed your purchases. Contact us for a total before making payment.
• If you are unsure, please ask via the Q&A facility, before making your purchase.

Please Note:

Our system automatically combines order placed by the same person on the same day, to reduce our handling and packaging time. Please be aware, it is our policy not to refund overpaid freight charges, If you choose not to use the combine freight option, or do not ask in advance, and then ask for a refund on overpaid freight.

Delivery Addresses:

To enable us to ensure accurate delivery to the purchaser, we will only ship to addresses received via the Trade Me address function. Please Do Not email your delivery address. Please ensure your correct address is saved in your trademe setting before completing your purchase. We cannot delivery to P O Box addresses.

• Occasionally we can also have delays due to stock availability. In addition to Trade Me we operate several other sales channels, which can sometimes create stock availability issues.
