If you do not wish to proceed with your back order you will be required to advise WA Library Supplies prior to the back order being supplied to you that you want to cancel your order.

GST
Most products and delivery fees are subject to a 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST). Products that are exempt from GST will display that they are GST exempt. The website displays pricing including GST. Invoices will have the GST exclusive price for product and delivery fees with the GST shown as a separate line on the invoice. A total of the products and delivery excluding GST plus the GST are shown at the bottom of the tax invoice.
Cocos and Christmas Island customers are exempt from paying GST and will be provided with an invoice listing pricing without GST.
Prices
Whilst we endeavour to maintain prices WA Library Supplies reserves the right to alter advertised prices without notice due to supplier increases. Price increases will not be applied to already purchased products, including those products on backorder. Price increases on advertised products will conform with the Australian Consumer Law.
Where any errors or omissions have been made on a quote WA Library Supplies retains the right to alter the prices on the quote and will advise the customer and provide the amended quote. The customer can then choose to accept or reject the quote with the amended price.
Products
WA Library Supplies reserve the right to discontinue brands and/or replace catalogue products with new brands without notice due to economic factors and specification / discontinuation changes by suppliers/manufacturers.
Discontinued / Substituted products on order: Where we are unable to fulfil a customer’s order with the original product advertised the customer will be notified. The customer can choose to accept or reject the replacement product. Where the customer has already paid any money towards the original product and does not want to accept the substitution product, all monies will be refunded to the customer for the original unavailable product.
Every effort is made to present images in both our catalogue and our website as close as possible to the actual colour. However, printing and monitors may alter the colour slightly from the actual product. Slight variations in colour will not be deemed a fault in the product.

Delivery
WA Library Supplies proudly delivers Australia wide. Shipping charges vary from customer to customer depending on size of the parcel and location.
For Perth Metro – small consumable items are a flat rate fee of $15.00. For larger consumable items and furniture items a flat rate of between $44.00 and $66.00 will be charged on checkout.
For delivery costs outside of Perth Metro the website will calculate a delivery charge on checkout for some items. As the size and location of deliveries varies a lot, if the website cannot automatically calculate your shipping costs there will be an option for you to request a quote for freight on checkout. We will then check the dimensions of your order and location with our freight company and provide you a quote for shipping.
As freight calculations on different size and weight objects can get a little tricky, if you are concerned with the price calculated for freight you can contact us directly and we can look into the freight charges for you.
If you have your own freight account, WA Library Supplies will ship your delivery on your account.
Items in stock are shipped from our WA warehouse within 48 hours from your order confirmation.
In the event that orders are split due to backorders you will only be invoiced for one delivery charge.
Returns – Change of Mind
We are not required to provide a refund or replacement if you change your mind. Change of mind specifically relates to the customer changing their mind about the purchase of a product. It does not include where there is a fault with the product.
- For standard, stocked product: Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to return a product for change of mind. We will accept returns within 30 days of purchase when products are unused and are in a saleable condition. A 10% restocking fee may be applicable where a bulk order exceeding 10 units was purchased where this would be an unusually high quantity of an item for WA Library Supplies to hold in stock. It is the customer’s responsibility to return the product to our warehouse with the original packaging. The stock must be unused and in a saleable condition, otherwise we will not accept the return. On return of the products, and our acceptance that the product is unused and in a saleable condition, a full refund of the product price paid or customer credit (this does not including refunding any delivery charges) will be provided, by either an electronic transfer of funds to your bank account or a refund on your credit card or a credit on your account depending on the customer’s requirements. We will contact you once the item has been returned and assessed to discuss which method of refund you would prefer. Please make sure all products returned for credit or refund are well packaged as products damaged in transit to us cannot be refunded.
- –Made-to-order product (“Specials”) and non-stocked products: no refund will be provided for change of mind.
