3D-Secure Credit Card

Because of the increasing risk of credit card fraud and unauthorized transaction using stolen credit card, to protect our customer from any of this risk, we now enable 3D-Secure with SecurePay to better protect our customer using credit card at purchase.

Other Methods of Payment

You are able to select Direct Deposit or PayPal as legitimate payment methods online. If you select direct deposit, we will ship the order once payment has cleared in our bank account.

If you are paying by PayPal then the payment is governed by PayPal's terms and conditions of buying online. PayPal offer leading consumer protection for payments. We receive immediate notification of a successful PayPal payment being made as soon as it is completed by you with PayPal so we will dispatch your order as soon as we are able after the order has come through to us.

Prices

All online prices are correct at the time of ordering. Any prices quoted over the phone will be correct at the time of ordering. If we discover any price discrepancy after you have placed your order over the phone that we cannot honour, you will be contacted to confirm the price change before shipping your order.

Backorders

If we are out of stock of any item, we will calculate the total weight of your order as if it was shipped together with other items and charge you the freight cost calculated. This means that the cost of shipping your backorder will be covered in only one payment to us.

If you cancel your backorder, we will calculate the difference between the goods received and the freight charged and if any refund for freight is necessary, we will process this at the same time as the refund for the goods.

We will continue to provide you with regular updates on the status of your backorder arrival every fortnight if nothing has changed or more regularly as required. You can choose to cancel your backorder any time before we ship it to you.

Availability

Generally all items that are advertised on the website are either in stock or able to be sourced within a short period of time (1-2 working days). If any items are expected to be out of stock for an extended period of time, we will mark this on the website. Please refer to the section above on our method of handling backorders.

Weights

All weights shown in any advertising by Forestwest may not be the true product weights but are a value shown to calculate freight costs. In some cases products can occupy a large volume relative to weight and therefore the true product weight may be overstated. If you wish to know the actual weight to any item, please contact us.

Specifications

Measurements and specifications are supplied as an approximate guide. We take all care to ensure that information is accurate and if it is found that we have made a material mistake that stops you from being able to use it as advertised, we will pay the return freight and offer a full refund for the goods and freight cost to ship that item to you.
