We will send you the shipping notice once the item is back in stock and has been shipped.

We may limit quantities available for sale or sold, and we reserve the right at any time to reject, correct, cancel or terminate any order for any reason whatsoever. If the price of any product you order was incorrectly displayed on our Website, we will provide you with an opportunity to place an order at the correct price assuming such product is available.

Advertisements on our Website are invitations to you to make offers to purchase products and services on the Website and are not offers to sell. Your properly completed and delivered order information constitutes your offer to purchase the products or services referenced in your order. Your order will be deemed to be accepted only if and when we send an email shipping notice to your email address. That shipping and payment notice email constitutes our acceptance of your order and forms a legally binding contract with  Electronics Boutique Australia Pty Ltd., which operates ebgames.com.au. The total price of your order will be charged to your credit card when our shipping and payment notice email has been sent to your email address. 

Orders that cannot be filled at the same time, i.e., preorder or backorder products, will be treated as separate orders and billed separately.  Reservation deposits will be taken for any pre-ordered products, and applied when the products are shipped to the full purchase price, which will be charged to you at time of shipment.  If an order cannot be filled because the product is not available for shipment, customer service will notify you and you will be given the option to change, cancel the order or wait for the missing stock to be shipped.

If you wish to cancel an order, you may request a cancellation by calling 133 930. However, if we are not able to receive and process your cancellation request before we accept and ship your order, your cancellation request may not be effective.

It is a requirement that all orders intended for delivery within Australia be placed from within Australia.

If an order is placed outside of Australia or is placed using a credit card with a billing address outside of Australia then it is considered an overseas transaction.

We retain the right to either approve or deny any overseas transaction at our discretion.

All orders placed undergo an internal order verification process. During this process an order may be approved or denied at our discretion.

For your convenience, we also accept returns by mail: please call 133 930 to find out how to make a return by mail. Your electronic invoice is required for both in-store and mail returns. In the event that a returned order has any packaging, manuals, accessories, blank warranty cards or other items missing, the return may be refused, or we may deduct the value of any of the missing items. Shipping charges are non-refundable; however, we will refund your original shipping cost if you are returning a defective item, or because of an error on our part. Due to copyright laws, computer and game console software, music CDs, DVDs and videos in opened packages may only be exchanged for the same item.
