Geostuff.com.au Frequently Asked Questions - and some not so frequently asked ones too.

About Geostuff.com.au

Our Australian Business Number (ABN) is 99 357 471 716.  We are registered for Australian GST, so all of our sales in Australia include 10% GST.

Geostuff.com.au is an Australian store, based in Northcote Victoria, supplying all the basic stuff that cachers really need, and some of the stuff that is just “nice to have”. We've been in business since April 2010 - and we are Australia's biggest and best geocaching store. 

We have substantial stock of most items - if it's available for sale in the store - we have stock of it. While we concentrate on the Australian and New Zealand markets, we are, of course, happy to ship to anywhere in the world. 

We are an official distributors for Geocaching.com/Groundspeak, Coins&Pins, OakCoins/Geoswag, WildTech etc etc etc (and some others we prefer to keep secret !).

We do need to keep some details about you so that we can process your orders. Things like name, email address, ordered items. address and phone number if you've provided one. These details are kept securely by us. And you can request to see them at any time. We will never share those details with any third party for any reason. So, we won't sell your details !

Stock policy

If you can buy it's on the Geostuff.com.au then it's in stock - it's in stock - and we can ship it to you.
