Change in Price on Preorder Products
Pre-Order products are those that are not available for sale now, but will be released sometime in the future. These can be found all throughout our site and are denoted by an orange “Pre-Order” status, rather than a green “In Stock” status.
Invariably, due to a number of factors, including FX rate fluctuations, shipping and weight changes/costs and manufacturer’s price changes, the price of a pre-order product may be changed once it arrives and switches to an “In Stock Item”.
These price changes can go both ways, the item may become more expensive, or a price drop may result.
How do we deal with these price changes on pre-order products here at Popcultcha?
1. If the price increases on arrival - we will still honour the price at the time you made your purchase, regardless of whether you paid in full or simply paid a $100 deposit to secure the piece. This becomes super important on high end items such as Hot Toys, Statues and Replicas where a slight fluctuation in FX rate can have a material impact on the AUD RRP of the piece. So you can be comforted to know that by locking in a pre-order at Popcultcha, you are locking in that price, at the time you place that pre-order, it will never increase on you upon arrival. However, we do, from time to time, need to increase prices on arrival and those that HAVE NOT pre-ordered the piece will be subject to that new price when it is made “In Stock” on the website. Therefore, PRE-ORDER YOUR STUFF @ POPCULTCHA!!! It guarantees you reservation of the item and a locked in price in AUD that will never increase on you.
2. If the price decreases on arrival - Yay for you the Popcultcha pre-order customer! Why? Because we don’t want you to be disadvantaged by having done the right thing and pre-ordered the product at the higher price. We’ll give that price difference back you by way of a Popcultcha Gift Voucher for you to use on a future purchase! It is important to note that we do not refund this price differential in cash.
Thanks for shopping with us at Popcultcha! Hassle Free Pre-Orders!
Exchange Rates
As we are an Australia company and deal with Australian currency your order will come up in both currencies when you finalise. You will see eg: US/UK pricing and then in AUD. (Which can be higher depending on our dollar) It is that "Grand Total To Be Charged" which is the Australian Dollar (AUD) value that will be deducted from your account.
Depending on what the Australian dollar is trading at currently compared to your local currency there could be a major or minimal difference, but rest assure you only pay the equivalent in your local currency as the AUD value is the amount paid.
Please be aware that we also try to have the most up to date currency rates at all times but with fluctuations in the international currency rates every day we cannot guarantee it. Please use the converted prices on on our website as a guide only as there can be some slight differences between what is shown and what is charged.
We also cannot guarantee what exchange rates Paypal use at any given time so there can also be a slight variance from their end.
For further details about Paypal's exchange rates, which also includes a Currency Conversion Fee and Additional Fees please visit their website. www.paypal.com
As we deal in Australian Currency in the end that is all we get, the Australian Dollar Value (Grand Total To Be Charged) of the orders total which is shown.
For Australian customers - if you are using a VPN or IP blocker this will alter your location to the website and may alter the way prices are shown. If you are using such a device we are not liable for any price discrepancies that are shown on your end and you may be liable for further costs on said order.
Fraud Checking System
As much as we'd love to have no issues with fraudulent activity, the reality is that it's a part of any online business and we have not been spared from it. In order to combat this ever growing issue we have had to implement a new Fraud Detection System called "Signifyd" to monitor all orders being placed on our website to curb this continuing loss of products and funds. Please note that as of May 2017 all orders now go through the following processing.
New Order Process
01: All orders placed on our website are scanned by our third party program "Signifyd" to determine if any irregularities are present.
02: If no irregularities are found your order will continue to be processed as per the normal processing time frames without interruption.
03: If irregularities are found your order will go on Temporary Hold and we will contact you to gain further information. A few examples to why we may need to contact you below.
- We may need to determine why a large distance is between billing and shipping addresses.
- We may need to determine why differing names are being used across an order.
- We may need to determine why your payment details do not match your name.
Please note that there will be a slight delay in processing your order during the above process.
04: On occasion we may need to ask for further information to be emailed in to confirm identities, especially for first-time customers.
- This information will only be viewed by Popcultcha and Signifyd staff to determine validity of an order.
- Please note that your personal privacy is always respected and kept in the strictest confidence. We will never share your details with any third party entities unless authorised by you.
05: Once any affected orders have been approved with sufficient information being provided, your order will continue to be processed as per the normal processing time frames without interruption.
06: If an order is unable to be approved due to lack of information provided, or we are unable to corroborate information, or no contact from affected customers a cancellation of the affected order will be actioned and a refund of all monies paid asap.
- If we have not received a response to our enquiries within a week of your order being placed on hold, we will refund automatically.
Things To Note!
Using a VPN/IP Changers or a Hosting Service does trigger our system so we please ask that you have such devices switched off when making any orders.
If an order comes through with such a device being used we may contact you, or we may refund the order and send you an email asking that you re-place the order with the device being switched off.
***
Please Note: If you do receive a request for information we are not accusing you of any wrong doing, we are just trying to corroborate some inconsistencies in an order to help protect all parties involved.

FAQ
Q - How can I redeem pennies?
A - Redeeming pennies is super simple. After you register as a customer, every product you buy while logged into your account earns pennies to spend on anything on our website. You can redeem Pennies at the checkout or via the Popcultcha Pennies Pop-Up on the bottom right of your screen.
Firstly, make sure you are logged into your account.
Find the Popcultcha Pennies Button in the bottom right-hand corner of any page on the website and select it.
Select the Ways to Redeem option, then select the discount you would like to redeem your Pennies for, then select Redeem.
A non-expiring coupon will be generated for the discount you selected, copy the code and head over to your cart, select the Apply a Discount Code field and paste the code.
That’s it, your Pennies have been applied to your order.
Q - How is this new rewards system different from your old one?
A - Our new Popcultcha Pennies program gives you more control over how you use your Pennies. In addition to fun new ways of earning Pennies, the program now has a dedicated Pop-up on the bottom right of your screen, and is now based on a discount code system, meaning you can redeem your pennies up front and use them on purchases later on. You can still redeem Pennies at the checkout as you used to, but this will automatically apply a new discount code to your order. Please note that if you choose to redeem Pennies at the checkout, but do not complete your purchase, your discount code will be emailed to you.
