Warranties and safety rules
Under the Australian Consumer Law, goods must be of acceptable quality and match their description, and some guarantees cannot be excluded by a seller, even when a warranty says otherwise. Many sellers print their own warranty on top of these rights, so compare its length and what it covers before you buy a kit. Some products must also meet mandatory safety or information standards, and the product safety regulator publishes the list, so check items for young children first.
Season and school year
Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so November is late spring. Stationery does not depend on the weather, but the school year does: ask for offers once you know the year level and the list, so the quote matches what the school asks for.
How it is bought here
Prices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide are quoted in Australian dollars, and sizes are metric: A4 and A5 paper, ruling in millimetres such as 8 mm, and bags and backpacks in centimetres. Kits are sold by piece count, from a 5-piece set to 87 pieces, so compare the price per piece rather than the box price. Confirm whether delivery reaches your suburb or only your city centre.
What to put in your request
Give the school year, the list items, the quantity, the size (for backpacks and kits), any brand or colour you prefer, your budget in A$ and the city you want delivery to. Condition only matters for second-hand items, so say so if you are open to them.
