All orders include tracking and are packed with collector-grade care. You can cancel for change of mind before we dispatch. A 15% restocking fee comes off the price of the items you cancel, and postage is refunded in full. Once an order has shipped we cannot cancel it, and we do not accept change-of-mind returns. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected: if an item arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and we will arrange a replacement or full refund.

Every order goes out double-boxed, void-filled and in a rigid mailer. The outer box is protected, not just the cards inside it.
Everything we stock is factory sealed, never opened and never resealed. We hand-check each order before it's packed, so dinged stock doesn't go out.

The questions we get asked most, answered before you have to ask.
In-stock orders are packed and dispatched from Melbourne within 1 to 2 business days. Orders placed on a weekend or public holiday go out the next business day. You'll get a tracking email the moment your parcel leaves us. Pre-orders are different: we dispatch 2 to 5 business days after release.
Yes. Every trading card product is factory sealed unless the listing clearly says otherwise.
Standard shipping is a flat $8.95 anywhere in Australia, and express is $14.95. Spend over $99 and standard shipping is free.
We ship from Melbourne. Standard usually arrives in 3 to 7 business days, express in 1 to 3. Those estimates start the day your parcel is dispatched, not the day you order. Remote areas can take a little longer.
Yes, before it's dispatched. Email contact@dropstore.com.au with your order number and we'll sort it. A 15% restocking fee comes off the refund, calculated on the items you cancel, and your postage is refunded in full. In-stock orders usually go out within 1 to 2 business days, so that window is short. There's no fee if we cancel, can't supply, or the item turns out faulty or not as described.
Email contact@dropstore.com.au within 48 hours with your order number and photos of the damage, and we'll arrange a replacement or a full refund.
Once an order has been delivered we can't accept a change-of-mind return on sealed collectibles. If you change your mind before we dispatch, you can cancel instead. If a product is faulty, not as described or significantly different from what was advertised, Australian Consumer Law has you covered. We'll arrange a refund or replacement at no cost.
Yes. Every order gets a tracking number, and we'll email it to you the moment your parcel ships.
