FAQ
Which company do you use for delivery services?
We deliver products Australia wide using AUSTRALIA POST E Parcel (for small items) and TOLL IPEC (for bulky items).
How do I track my order?
- Once your order has been dispatched, you will be sent an email enclosing your tracking details and tracking number. You can track your order using this tracking number at the delivery company’s website (www.auspost.com.au/track or www.mytoll.com).
- Occasionally, your items may need to be dispatched from multiple locations. In this case, you will receive an email for each parcel stating its tracking details and tracking number.
- Please note, when your order is dispatched from multiple locations, you do not incur any additional postal charges.
Customers who have used our guest checkout to make any purchases can track their orders here.
To track your order, please enter your email, order ID and shipping postcode.
The tracking number appears to be invalid on the delivery company’s online tracking system. What does that mean?
Tracking information will usually be updated after 6pm on the day your order is dispatched. This is due to the fact that your order is only marked as dispatched when the delivery company is collecting your package, however, the status of your order may not be updated immediately. If the next day, your tracking number is still appearing as invalid, please email us at support@findsports.com.au.
Can I change my shipping address?
Yes, but only if your order has not been dispatched. If you decide to change your shipping address, please contact us via phone (03) 9793 9588 so we can make sure your item is not being prepared to be dispatched and it is sent to the new address. We cannot guarantee we can change any delivery details once the order has been prepared for dispatch.
Do you allow pick up?
Yes, a 1-hour Click & Collect (Pickup) and a 2-5 Business Days Click & Collect (Pickup) option is available from our Dandenong South, VIC retail store. For more information, click here.
Can I send to a different address than my billing address?
Yes. During checkout, you have the option of assigning a different shipping address. After your order has been processed it is too late to make changes as your order has already been sent to the warehouse.
I received an item from someone as a gift. Can I check who sent it to me?
We value our customer’s privacy. Unless the sender has consented to allow us to disclose their information to you or it is required by authorised law, we will not disclose any of the sender's information to anyone.
What happens if no one is home when my order is delivered?
If no one is around, the courier company will leave you a contact number or a reminder notice will be dropped in your mailbox so that you can arrange to collect your item at a later time. A redelivery fee may occur if your item needs to be redelivered if you do not pick up your package in time. If your package is with Australia Post, the fee will be payable to Find Sports. If your item was shipped via Toll, the fee may need to be paid directly to Toll.
Why did I only receive part of my item?
As a result of stock availability, occasionally, your items may need to be dispatched from multiple locations. If this occurs, your items will be delivered separately. The delivery timeframes may also vary depending on the dispatch location.
How long is your normal dispatch and delivery time?

Do you price match?
Providing excellent customer service and timely delivery to our customers is our priority. To help satisfy our customer’s needs we offer our products at the best prices. We are able to achieve this thanks to our sourcing team. We do not price match as our products are already at a great price.
Why is the price different from before when the product is back in stock?
This issue is related to when we have a promotion for a product. When a product is put on promotion, the promotion ends on that item when either the promotion period ends, or when the item sells out during this period. This is the condition of our promotion prices. These items have been put on sale because we can either get these items at a special price, or we selling below cost price to clear stock, or we want to reward our customers with some incredible deals. These are the reasons why the price will revert back to the previous price once the item is back in stock.
Do you reserve items?
To be fair to all of our customers, we do not reserve items. All products are sold on a first come, first serve basis.
How can I be informed of your latest products and deals?
We are happy to hear that you are interested in our latest products and deals. The following are ways to help you to be the first informed of our latest products and deals:

Your price for a product just dropped after I buy the item; can I get the new price?
Some of the promotions we run on our products may reduce the price of these products. We regret to inform you that the discount only applies after the price change has been made, not before. However, if the price did not drop for an item you purchased within the promotional period and the item was valid for the discounted price, please contact us at support@findsports.com.au and we will correct this issue for you.
Do I get bulk discount if I buy more?
We offer plenty of packaged options for many of our products. However, we do not offer bulk discounts if you buy more than a certain number of products.
