Shipping policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At Back in the 80s, we take great care in packaging and shipping every vintage audio and electronic item. Many of our products are rare, collectible, and difficult to replace, so we use secure packaging methods to ensure they arrive safely.

Processing Time

  • Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days after payment confirmation.

  • Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next business day.

  • Serviced, restored, or custom-prepared items may require additional preparation time before dispatch.

Shipping Locations

We ship throughout Australia and selected international destinations.

If your country is not available at checkout, please contact us before placing an order.

Delivery Time Estimates

  • Australia: 2–7 business days

  • International Orders: 7–21 business days

Delivery times are estimates only and may vary due to customs processing, courier delays, weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Packaging

All items are carefully inspected, tested, and securely packaged before shipment.

Vintage electronics often contain delicate components. We use protective packaging materials to minimize the risk of damage during transit.

Tracking Information

Once your order has been dispatched, tracking details will be provided via email.

Customs & Import Duties

International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, import fees, or local charges imposed by their country.

These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping costs.

Delivery Inspection

Please inspect your package upon arrival.

If the package appears damaged during transit, take photographs immediately and contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Lost or Delayed Shipments

While we work with trusted shipping partners, we cannot guarantee delivery times.

If your order has not arrived within the expected timeframe, please contact us and we will assist with tracking and courier enquiries.
