Products are usually restocked within a 1-2 week period but this can vary. If an item is out of stock online, you may submit your email address to be notified when it is back in stock. In some cases items may be made available for Pre-Order, so you may place your order now and it will be dispatched once back in stock.

Contact our Customer Service Team via live chat or online@hsw.com.au or contact your nearest store to confirm if an item is currently available there.

Unfortunately, some items are not available for purchase online. This may be due to them being too large or fragile for us to safely ship to you and are only available for purchase in store. If an item is marked as ‘In Store Only’ please contact your nearest store for item availability.
