Can I visit your store?

Perhaps the biggest impact is that our West Melbourne showroom will be restricted to pre-arranged and paid pickup orders only from Monday 23rd of March.

During this period, we encourage all our customers to place their orders via our website.

We have now stopped all pickup orders and have put our showroom in a lockdown. For the time being we will operate as usual delivering orders to your door.

Our website is updated almost instantaneously with stock levels and pricing. Our full range of 10,000 products is available 24/7. Our ordering process is simple, quick and straight-forward.

I don't have an online account. How do I sign up?

Signing up for a Radio Parts online account is easy. Simply register at www.radioparts.com.au/login and choose "I am a new user and wish to register"

If you are an existing 30-day account or trade cardholder, apply for online access at www.radioparts.com.au/online-access using your account or trade card number and we will set you up with online access to your trade account immediately.

I prefer to place my order directly.

If you know what you want but would prefer to place your order directly with us, you have the following options:

  1. Call us on (03) 9321 8300
    - we will require payment over the phone before processing your order.
  2. Email us on sales@radioparts.com.au
    - we will require payment over the phone before processing your order.
  3. If you are an existing 30-day account holder, call or email, but remember, if you have the ability to produce purchase orders, you can simply email them to purchaseorders@radioparts.com.au for automatic processing.

How do I pay for my over-the-phone or email orders?

If you are not a 30-day account holder, we naturally require payment before despatching your order. We are happy to accept payments via credit card over the phone or direct bank transfers to either our PayID: accounts@radioparts.com.au or direct deposit (details will be shared when requesting payment).

Keep in mind that direct deposit payments can delay the processing of your orders, so we recommend either credit card over the phone or PayID for near real-time funds transfer (learn more about PayID here).

Can I pick up my order?

Please read our update dated March 24 above. We have now suspended all pick up orders and are going 100% delivery only.

We strongly discourage pickups during these hard times to best adhere to recommended social-distancing practices. We will add extra staff to ensure orders are picked and despatched in a timely fashion. The vast majority of our orders are shipped via express post, so the majority of Melbourne and metro cities are next day deliveries. We have also reduced our free shipping Melbourne metro offer from $99 down to $49. Read more about our Melbourne metro free delivery offer here.

For pick up orders, you must wait until you receive confirmation that your order is ready for collection. For web orders, you will receive an email, for over the phone order or email orders we will ask for a mobile number so we are able to keep you notified via SMS. Please follow and adhere to the signed instruction in the showroom and ensure that you have your order number ready to help our staff assist with your pickup.

How can I make changes to my order?

If you have already placed your order online or over the phone for pickup and need to make changes, please ensure that you call 03 9321 8300 prior to your arrival so that we can have it ready. If we haven’t been given sufficient time to make these changes, you will be required to wait outside until it is ready.

What happens if we can’t fulfil part of your order

As you should not come to collect your order before being notified that it is ready, your order will be checked by our despatch team. This means that if a problem arises in fulfilling any part of your order, one of our customer service staff will contact you to arrange an alternative.

I need to talk to my sales rep

There will be no disruption in speaking with your sales rep. They will be available via phone or email as usual and will attend to your enquiries. However, during this period, we will be avoiding visiting customers face-to-face.

I have an urgent question

As we've said, there will be extra people on board to answer your enquiries.

  1. Call us on (03) 9321 8300
  2. send us an email at support@radioparts.com.au or
  3. click the Support button on the bottom right-hand side of our website to create a ticket which will be attended to by the first available team member.

We are diverting our showroom staff to customer support roles, so as to make sure no enquiry goes unanswered.

What about the training sessions?

Sorry to say, but we'll be postponing these for the foreseeable future. Our suppliers are disappointed that they don't get the chance to speak with you, but we'll have them back as soon as it makes sense. Keep an eye on www.radioparts.com.au/training for more information.

In Conclusion

As Radio Parts we are remaining positive and we have no doubt we will get through this crisis together. In this journey, we know you will understand why we are taking the measures announced here. It's not only to protect the health and well-being of our own people but to also ensure we do our part to come on top of this crisis as a society.
