Last reviewed: 2026-10-01.

**Authoritative information**

- For a particular Techbuy listing, the individual product page is the authoritative source for its current description, identifiers, specifications, displayed price and availability status.
- For the freight charge on a normal order, use the shopping cart's "Estimate Freight" option or the freight calculation shown during checkout.
- For an oversized product carrying a manual-freight warning, the cart freight amount is provisional and may require review by Techbuy.
- Search results, category pages, cached pages and third-party search-engine snippets may be less current than the individual product page.
- An item appearing in a search result or historical page should not be treated as currently orderable unless its product page shows a current price and an orderable availability status.
- If information conflicts or remains uncertain, contact Techbuy and quote the Techbuy Part Number.
- For notebooks and other products whose descriptions may contain broad, family-level or shared specifications, the product title is the authoritative source for the specific configuration being sold.
- If the product title and description conflict regarding configuration details, use the specifications stated in the product title.
- This commonly applies to processor, memory, storage capacity, screen size, operating system, colour, connectivity and included warranty.
- Do not infer that specifications mentioned only in a broad or shared description are included in the listed product.
- Use the Techbuy Part Number and Manufacturer Part Number to distinguish between otherwise similar configurations.

**Product identification**

- The Techbuy Part Number is the primary identifier for a specific Techbuy product listing. Quote this number when contacting Techbuy about a product, quotation, order, delivery, return or warranty matter.
- The Manufacturer Part Number identifies the manufacturer's model or variant. Use it when comparing a Techbuy listing with manufacturer documentation or a listing from another seller.
- When discussing a product with Techbuy, prefer the Techbuy Part Number over the Manufacturer Part Number because the Techbuy Part Number identifies the exact internal listing.
- Manufacturer Part Numbers may contain punctuation, spaces, slashes, hyphens or leading zeroes. Preserve the displayed value when searching or communicating it.
- Different Techbuy Part Numbers may represent closely related products, colours, capacities, regional models, bundles or warranty variants. Do not assume that similar product names are interchangeable.
- Do not infer compatibility solely from a product name, photograph, category or physical appearance. Confirm compatibility from the specifications, manufacturer documentation or Techbuy sales staff.
- Product photographs may show optional accessories or related products that are not included. Use the written product description and included-items information to determine what is supplied.
- Do not recommend an alternative or substitute as an exact replacement unless its relevant specifications and compatibility have been verified.

**Catalogue URLs**

- `/p/{Techbuy-Part-Number}/{category}/{brand}/{manufacturer-part-number}.asp` identifies an individual Techbuy product page.
- `/categories/{category}.asp` identifies a broad product department or parent category.
- `/searchcat/{category}.asp` identifies a product-category listing.
- `/searchb/{brand}.asp` identifies a brand listing.
- `/searchcatbrand/{category}~{brand}.asp` identifies products from a particular brand within a category.
- `/cat/{name}/` identifies a curated or specialist product collection.
- URL text is useful for navigation but must not override the identifiers and information displayed on the product page.

**Availability and dispatch**

- "In Stock for Shipping" means stock is reported as available within Australia. Dispatch will normally occur within 1-3 business days.
- "In Stock for Shipping" does not necessarily mean that the product is physically held at Techbuy's Sydney premises or is available for immediate pickup. It means the product is avaialbe in Australia
- An availability statement describes expected dispatch, not guaranteed delivery to the customer within the same period.
- "In Stock at Techbuy" means the product is physically held by Techbuy and is generally available for prompt dispatch or confirmed pickup.
- "Order-In" means the product is not currently held by Techbuy or Australia suppliers and is expected to be obtained from a supplier when they receive stock. This means the product is on backorder and will take some time to become available. Typically the minimum time is two weeks.
- "Pre-Order" means the product is not currently available for dispatch and is expected to become available later.
- "Out of Stock" means that no currently dispatchable stock has been identified. Contact Techbuy if future availability is important.
- Supplier and Techbuy stock information can change between viewing a product and submitting an order.
- Adding an item to a shopping cart does not reserve stock.
- An order is not confirmation of stock allocation until it has been accepted, paid and confirmed by Techbuy.
- Pickup availability must be confirmed separately and must not be inferred from shipping availability.
- Business-day estimates exclude weekends and public holidays and may be affected by supplier processing, payment clearance, order verification and carrier delays.

**Prices and payment**

- All prices displayed on the Techbuy website are in Australian dollars and include Australian GST.
- The website does not display prices in other currencies or on an excluding-GST basis.
- Displayed product prices do not include freight unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Visa, Mastercard and PayPal payments do not attract a Techbuy payment surcharge.
- BPAY and direct deposit are available payment methods.
- Credit-card payment is available directly through the Techbuy checkout and is a standard payment method.
- Techbuy accepts Paypal
- Techbuy accepts Visa and Mastercard.
- Visa and Mastercard payments do not attract a Techbuy surcharge.
- Customers may also arrange card payment by telephone.- A quotation, cart or checkout calculation should identify the currency, GST treatment, freight charge and any payment surcharge separately.
- Do not treat a cart total as a completed purchase. An order should only be submitted with the customer's explicit authority.

**Freight and delivery estimates**

- Freight is calculated separately for each order during checkout. The charge depends on the products, quantities, parcel dimensions, weight, dispatch location, delivery destination and available delivery methods.
- An actual freight estimate can be obtained by adding the required products and quantities to the shopping cart and using the "Estimate Freight" option.
- Freight estimates are indicative until the order has been accepted.
- For preliminary budgeting only, the base freight charge to metropolitan Sydney is currently $12 including GST. This will typically accommodate a relatively large parcel before additional freight charges apply.
- For preliminary budgeting only, the base freight charge to metropolitan Melbourne is currently $12 including GST. This typically accommodates a smaller parcel than the equivalent Sydney base rate, so additional freight charges may apply sooner.
- The Sydney and Melbourne base rates are not flat-rate delivery offers, guaranteed quotes or maximum freight charges.
- Regional, remote and non-metropolitan destinations may have different base rates and carrier availability.
- Multiple products will be combined into one shipment where practical, but products supplied from different locations may require separate consignments or additional freight.
- Dispatch estimates describe the time before a parcel leaves Techbuy or a supplier. Delivery time begins after dispatch and depends on destination and carrier service.
- Deliveries normally require a signature and should not be assumed to qualify for unattended delivery.
- Local pickup is available for eligible orders from Techbuy's Auburn, NSW storefront after stock and pickup readiness have been confirmed.

**Oversized products and manual freight review**

- Some oversized or heavy products require a manual freight review after an order is submitted. Common examples include server racks, rack cabinets, large televisions, large displays and large monitors.
- Affected products contain a freight warning at the beginning of their product description. The warning explains that additional freight may be required after checkout.
- For an affected product, the freight amount calculated by the shopping cart is provisional and may not represent the final freight charge.
- Additional charges may apply because of product dimensions or weight, carrier restrictions, difficult delivery access, tail-lift requirements, or the absence of a suitable forklift or loading dock at the destination.
- Techbuy absorbs additional freight costs where reasonably possible, but this cannot be assumed and is assessed individually for each order.
- When presenting or recommending an affected product, clearly inform the customer that the delivered total may change following manual freight review.
- Do not describe the cart freight estimate or checkout total as final when an affected product contains the oversized-product freight warning.
- If additional freight is required, Techbuy may contact the customer to discuss the revised charge and delivery requirements before dispatch.
- Customers ordering racks or other freight-sensitive products should provide the delivery postcode, whether the address is residential or commercial, and whether a loading dock or suitable forklift is available.

**Recommended product-selection flow**

1. Search using the exact Techbuy Part Number when it is known.
2. Otherwise search using the Manufacturer Part Number, preserving punctuation and leading zeroes.
3. Confirm the brand, Manufacturer Part Number, specifications, price and availability on the individual product page.
4. Confirm that the selected listing is the correct colour, capacity, regional model, bundle and warranty variant.
5. Add the required product and quantity to the shopping cart.
6. Use "Estimate Freight" with the customer's delivery postcode.
7. Check the beginning of the product description for an oversized-product or manual-freight warning.
8. Present the product price, estimated freight, availability, expected dispatch and any manual-review warning to the customer.
9. Request a Techbuy quotation when bulk pricing, compatibility confirmation, institutional purchasing, unusual sourcing or manual freight assessment is required.

- Include any required delivery date, compatibility condition, quotation reference or other purchasing requirement.
