Cost & Despatch

We ship same day of order, more than 95% of the time. Freight is calculated by our on-line shopping cart facility. You can check the freight cost before finalising your purchase. Parcels to Defence personnel serving overseas are freight free via the AFPO 2890. Freight on phone orders is normally $13.20, for delivery anywhere in Australia. (For some small accessory items , between $5.50 and $8.80 will be sufficient- you will be advised at time of ordering). Local Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney deliveries $10 by Couriers Please.

Delivery Times in Australia

To a street address, we ship OVERNIGHT to populous areas, by Australian Air Express (AAE), TNT Express or Express Post. Other destinations will be 2 days at most. These are our most popular methods, historically secure, manifested, but not insured. If you require insurance, AAE or TNT Express (usually overnight), or Insured Post (slower) are available. For local deliveries in Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney, we use Couriers Please. In every case, method and cost can be agreed at time of ordering. Or you can nominate your own carrier freight-on.

Postal Addresses in Australia

If you nominate a Post Office private box number, AAE, Post or Express Post will be used.

COD Insured - Cash paid On Delivery

This is done through Australia Post, and is very popular. Simply order the goods (see below), and all charges including post and insurance, will be paid at your local Post Office at the time of collection. Because of the extra handling and paperwork at our end, we place a $5 surcharge on this service.

Insurance

At your request, we are happy to insure your purchase in transit against loss, theft or damage. Otherwise the shipment is at the risk of the buyer, as soon as it leaves our shop. Historically, the loss of goods within Australia is less than a few points of 1%. But if you do not want to take the risk, please let us know that you prefer insurance, and we will calculate the cost. Insurance is available as an option on our on-line shopping facility. Insurance is automatically included on COD shipments.

Overseas

We ship overseas by Airmail Insured, International Express mail (EMS) or TNT International Insured, or your nominated carrier freight-on. Price of goods will be an EXPORT price, and will NOT include Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Defence Personnel

Goods sent to Defence personnel serving overseas, are GST free, and are freight free via the AFPO 2890.
We can supply any Defence person with goods free of GST & freight charges, for shipment via the AFPO, NSW 2890.

Layby

20% deposit, 3 months to pay. Layby may be cancelled at any time within one month, no fees, deposit refunded in full. If layby is cancelled after one month, deposit will be refunded less $25, or 3% of purchase price, whichever is greater. The article will be held for 3 months, in which time you can pay the balance. The original pricing at the time of lay-by will be maintained. This lay-by facility is good for mail order and in-shop purchases. Payments can be made by cheque, Post Office Money Order, cash, or by credit card.
Phone 1800 477 477 for details on how to layby.

Buying and Selling on eBay

Johnny Appleseed GPS is not listed as a seller on eBay. Persons buying GPS on eBay should satisfy themselves that the product is covered by an Australian warranty. We have discovered that many sellers advertise stolen goods, brand new, including portable in-car navigators.
Be aware that manufacturers know by serial number what is stolen, and will lock out these units from normal map upgrades.
