For First Time Visitors


Search Tips:

The way you search will affect your success rate. Firstly check your spelling, then try some of these tips before trying again:

Title Search:

  • Try searching one or two keywords from the book title rather than trying to guess the exact full title. For example search on 'snowy' rather than 'the man from snowy river'


  • Multiple words such as "Stress Testing" will return "Pulmonary Function Testing and Cardiopulmonary Stress Testing".


  • Using partial words like "test" for "testing" will not work.

    Top of Page
Description Search:
  • A description search looks in the product's description for words that match your request.


  • Try to search one word at a time such as 'soccer', as multiple words such as 'soccer rules' must appear immediately next to each other or they will not be found.

Author Search:
  • Using the first few letters of a name will usually return the whole name.
    For Example : An author search for "shak, william" will return "Shakespeare, William".


  • Try searching on author surname only, then if you have too many listing add their first initial. For example, 'lawson' and then 'h lawson' for all Henry Lawson books.

How to Buy

We have made every effort to make buying a book from our store as simple as possible. Use the search facility to look up a book and once you have found a title in the format you want to buy, click on the title and you will be taken to a page devoted to that title.

To place your order, Click on "Add to Bag". Once you have placed the item in your bag, you can choose to "Proceed to Checkout" or "Continue Shopping".


Checkout

When you click on "Checkout", you can review your purchases and if necessary, make changes to your order.

If you decide you don't want to buy a particular title and want to take an item out of your shopping bag, click on the "Delete" button next to the title.

If you want to change the number of copies you want to buy of a particular title, highlight the number in the "Quantity" box by left-clicking on your mouse, type in the number of copies you now require, and Click on the "Update Bag" button.

When you are happy with your order and are ready to purchase your items, Click on the "Proceed to Checkout" button.

Gift Wrapping

We are able to gift-wrap many of the books in our database at a cost of $3.00 per item. This option is located within the checkout procedure. Simply select the wrap of your choice and we’ll do the rest. If you want, we’ll even include a personal message.

Please note that if you have multiple items within your order and you require gift-wrapping, all items have to be gift-wrapped. We do not offer item by item gift-wrapping within a single order.


Availability

Availability of books generally shown once a book is selected. We will also endeavour to display the expected shipping time.


Back Orders

Occasionally books appear on the BuyAustralian.com site that are currently unavailable or out-of-print. An order that is not confirmed as a back-ordered item is automatically cancelled. We then send you an email stating that we are unable to fill the order.
