Ordering online

1. Do you accept back orders for out of stock products?

No, we currently do not have a back order system in place. If an item is out of stock, it will be displayed as unavailable on the website and vice versa if the product has become available you’ll be able to add it to the shopping cart. Although rare, there can be some overlap between ordering an item and it going out of stock. If this occurs and your order has been placed, we will do our best to contact you to let you know of this issue.

2. Can I place an order over the phone?

No. We currently do not accept orders over the phone. If you need assistance completing your order please email onlinesales@Blackmores.com.au.

3. What are the expiry dates on the products sold?

The products sold on Blackmores.com.au have expiry dates of between 6 months to 3 years to give you a suitable amount of time to use them. Unfortunately, we are unable to individually select items with a longer expiry.

4. Are there restrictions on how many units I can purchase?

There are restrictions on the number of infant formula products that can be bought at any one time. The maximum number of products from the Infant Nutrition range that can be purchased are limited to six units per day per product type. There is a transaction limit of $500 per order on all orders.

11. Do you know if the products can be lawfully imported into my country?.

Blackmores offers its Australian range of products for shipment to most countries around the world. You are responsible for assuring that the product, or products, can be lawfully imported to the destination country. When ordering from Blackmores, the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.

Orders that are shipped to countries outside of Australia may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the destination country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; Blackmores has no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country and region to region; you should contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. Where an order is returned to Blackmores by customs in a sellable condition, we will refund the amount less the shipping costs incurred by us to send the order to you in the first place.

Blackmores is also not responsible for assuring the product can be lawfully imported to the destination country. When ordering from Blackmores, for delivery outside Australia, you or the recipient of record must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. Accordingly, you should check any import laws or regulations that would restrict the importation of the goods prior to purchase.

Please visit Australia Post International and select your country to see a limited list of prohibited products. This guide can help you determine whether you need to seek more information from your local authorities.
