Why buy from OzCableguy.com

The OzCableguy.com online shop is 100% Australian owned and the retail arm of the OzCableguy.com broadband FAQ & information site. Our focus is on good, old fashioned customer service while still bringing you the best possible prices. If you find a cheaper price elsewhere you'll almost always find you'll be paying more for it anyway with poor service, questionable business practices or hidden fees.

Here's just a few of the things that we do that you won't find in too many other online shops -

  • Cheaper prices with daily updates and stock availability displayed online.
  • Techniques like Drop Shipping so we can pass on manufacturer price drops sooner and we're not restricted to pushing a particular brand or model simply because it's "on the shelf".
  • Pre & post sales assistance from our friendly and knowledgeable staff via email or phone.
  • Unlike our "box shifting" competitors, we know our products. We deal only in broadband and networking equipment that we install and use ourselves.
  • Product briefs, reviews and FAQs at OzCableguy.com to make learning new tricks and choosing what to buy easier.
  • An advertised privacy policy so you know your personal details will remain confidential and not passed on to marketing companies (spammers)
  • An advertised Returns policy so you can trust you won't be ignored if you have a problem with your purchase.
  • An advertised street address and phone numbers. (We're not frightened to let you know who and where we are).
  • Overnight Couriers and same day shipping where ever possible so your order arrives sooner.
  • Secure online Credit Card facilities protected by SSL encryption so no faxing or phoning backwards and forwards just to place an order.

    Sales & Support

    Please contact us if you need help choosing the right product or check out the OzCableguy Find-A-Router tool. The "list products according to feature" section allows you to select the features you'd like, including a price range, and receive a list of products matching your requirements.

    If you need after sales assistance or think your purchase may be faulty please let us know and we'll do our best to get you steered in the right direction. However, if you're finding it all a bit overwhelming and need someone to talk you through the very basics please contact the manufacturer via the options listed below. Alternatively you might like to hire a mobile computer technician to come and do it for you. Check out the OzCableguy IT Directory for techies throughout Australia.


    Ordering by Phone.

    While our website is the easiest way to place an order at any time day or night, you are quite welcome to call us on (07) 3325 5917 (9am - 5pm Qld time, Mon-Fri) to order by phone if you prefer.


    Picking up from our office.

    You are quite welcome to pickup from our office. However, there are a couple of things to be aware of.

  • Not all items are kept in stock and those that are may be in limited quantities so please call us to reserve the item or place an order online and wait for our confirmation first. 
  • Items marked as "drop ship" will need to be ordered in for you and a shipping charge will still be applicable because we do not factor the shipping cost to us into our prices on these items.
  • We have EFTPOS & Credit Card facilities available but we don't run a cash register so if you prefer to pay with cash please have the correct money.
  • To order online just specify our address (129 Faheys Rd West, Albany Creek Qld 4035) as the delivery address and type "pickup" in the message box at the bottom of the online order form. We will remove any inapplicable shipping fees prior to processing payment. If you prefer to pay on pickup (eg cash or EFTPOS) choose the direct deposit payment option.
  • Our street starts out as Flamingo Dr and changes to Faheys Rd West along the way which tends to confuse a lot of people so check out the map on our contact page before you make the journey.
  • Our warranty procedure still needs to be followed whether the item was delivered or collected. See "How to Return a Product" below.

    Shipping costs and methods.

  • Up to 5 ADSL Line filters will go by Express Post at $8.00
  • Routers, modems and most standard sized orders will go via couriers at a flat $14.00. Multiple items that need to be shipped from different sources will show the shipping cost as "TBA". We will contact you in these cases to see if you're happy to proceed or would like to change your order.
  • Extremely bulky items such as rack mount equipment or large NAS devices, or more than 10 of any item will be quoted. Our shopping cart will show "TBA" for any orders that fall into this category and we will contact you if it's going to cost any more than our usual $14.00 to see if you are happy to proceed.

  • In Stock: Items marked as in stock are available in our office and shipped via AaE or CouriersPlease which is usually a next business day delivery.
  • Drop Ship: Items marked as Drop Ship are shipped directly from manufacturer and importer/distributor warehouses to you using a variety of couriers. Mostly overnight air freight but sometimes by road depending on the size of the item and where it has to go to.*
  • Out of Stock: Where possible we will show an ETA on any items out of stock with all of our suppliers at once. These items are often in high demand so we advise placing a backorder so you are in the queue. To lodge a backorder with a manufacturer or distributor we will need to process your payment first but you can always cancel and receive a refund if anything goes wrong or you have a change of heart (provided it hasn't yet shipped).

    We use express couriers where possible so most drop ship and in stock items will arrive the following business day. Please contact us as soon as possible if your order has not arrived within the time frame we advise on your order confirmation email.

    For delivery please note:

  • Someone must be present to sign for the package during normal business hours (with the exception of items of nominal value sent via Express Post).
  • A specific time for delivery or a phone call in advance cannot be guaranteed.
  • PO Boxes are fine for items marked as "In Stock" but not on items marked as "Drop Ship".

    * Prices and availability on Drop Ship items are offered on a "while stock lasts" basis. Stock information on our website is updated every business day morning and during the day if we become aware of a shortage. In some rare instances a supplier may run out of stock and raise the price of an item substantially during the day without our knowledge. If we cannot find an alternate source that will allow us to honour the advertised price we will notify you and the order will be cancelled.

    Note: We only ship within Australia.


    Payment methods.

    We accept Mastercard, Visa and *American Express, EFTPOS (in our office only), or Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer**.

    * American Express attracts a 2% surcharge. Mastercard and Visa have no surcharge.

    ** If paying by Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds transfer:

  • Once we've received your online order and processed it we will email you a copy of your Invoice with the amount payable and our bank account details (which are also on our contact page). Alternatively you can use the amount shown on the confirmation page when placing your order online provided that the shipping amount shown isn't "TBA". In those cases wait for us to contact you to let you know what the total amount will be.
  • When logged into your Bank, in the transaction reference field please put your OzCableguy order number (shown in the subject of the automatic response email you should receive after you have submitted your order and also when we email you your Invoice).
  • To avoid shipping delays please fax or email us a copy of the deposit receipt.

    Note: Stock cannot be reserved or shipped until payment has been made.


    Discounts, VIPs & resellers.

    ISP Discounts: We have special prices available on all modems for people who sign up with either Exetel or TPG using our respective Agent IDs. To find these discounts just type the product name into the search box or browse via the categories or brand names from the left hand menu. If you are signing up with an ISP using our agent ID and would like a discount on an alternate product please contact us.

    VIPs & Resellers: Discounted pricing is available for technicians and others who make regular or bulk purchases. For online access to VIP pricing please complete the form below. (This information will be preloaded for you and will appear automatically on the order form. You can still manually overwrite any of these details quite easily on the order form but if you would like anything permanently changed you will need to do it via the admin section.)

    Please note: Proof of payment must be received prior to shipping. Unfortunately we cannot do accounts due to the extra expenses involved in maintenance and increased risk of bad debts.

    Warranty & Returns Policy

    In a nutshell: We will gladly refund or exchange any product that arrives faulty, doesn't perform as advertised or doesn't match the description given at the time of purchase within 30 days of the date of sale. Beyond 30 days is repair or replacement under the terms of the manufacturer's warranty. We generally will not approve a refund on a product that is not faulty but has been opened and/or has signs of being used. However, if you have a special case that falls outside these guidelines please let us know and we'll see what we can do.

    Don't send anything back without contacting us first. Goods will not be accepted back without prior authorisation and an OzCableguy.com Return Authorisation number clearly displayed on the outside of the packaging. To obtain our Return Authorisation No please complete the form here after contacting us and/or the manufacturer to confirm the fault.

    Shipping Costs and liability: We operate on the basis of "sender pays". ie You pay to send the faulty item in and we pay to send the repaired or replaced item back to you. (It's the same principle as buying from a bricks and mortar shop. You still need to get it back to the shop somehow.)
    We recommend the use of a courier or postal service where proof of delivery can be obtained. Ownership of goods sent in either direction only passes to the intended recipient where a proof of delivery can be produced.

    Advanced Replacement: Unfortunately we can't offer advanced replacement. All products must be received and inspected prior to a replacement being sent out. Some manufacturers do offer advanced replacement on their business class products but this is by arrangement directly with them. Please contact the manufacturer to find out if this is an option with your product should you require it.

    Non-Warranty Damage: Damage caused by surge, water, heat or misuse is not covered under manufacturer warranty and will in many cases either be rejected or attract a fee for repair or replacement. Products with visible marks or suspected non-warranty damage will need to be assessed & repaired or replaced by the manufacturer and cannot be replaced from our stock. If you have a product that might fall into this category please let us know and we'll arrange for you to send it directly back to the manufacturer to avoid any unnecessary delays.

    Liability: OzCableguy.com is not liable for any damages or interruptions to services caused by any product, or failure of any product to perform, including but not limited to any lost profits, lost savings, loss of use, loss of data, or any other special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damage of any kind, whether or not advised of the possibility of such damage, and regardless of the theory of liability pursuant to which such damages may be sought.


    Return Procedures

    Please first read our Returns Policy

    Most importantly, please contact us and/or the manufacturer (details above) for fault diagnosis before sending anything anywhere.

    D-Link, Draytek, Eaton/Powerware, Engenius, McAfee/Snapgear, Netcomm, Netgear, Open and SMC all handle warranty directly so there's no need to contact us for these unless you're chasing a refund. However, we still like to be kept in the loop so please drop us a side email to let us know what's happening and/or if you experience any difficulties. For all others, or if directed by these manufacturers back to us, please click here to complete our return form.

    Cisco, D-Link, Linksys, Netcomm and Netgear all must have a Case ID or RMA No from the manufacturer (obtained by calling their technical support number) before they can be returned.

    For all others please contact us for instructions. In these cases we either handle warranty directly or we'll organise everything for you with the respective warranty agent and let you know where to send it.
