Steps:
1. Submit your order online, ensuring that all requested details are provided. Please do not send shoes without having first submitted an online order or quote.
2. Either print out your tax invoice, or write down your invoice number (starting with N) on a piece of paper. This helps us to marry up your online order once we physically recieve your shoes. 
3. Send your shoes + invoice number to us however suits you best, however Ausralia Post satchels are what we recommend for convenience. Please note, the shipping charge collected at checkout does not cover the cost of retrieving your shoes. This is charge only covers the cost of us returning your completed repairs. Any freight costs or logistics associated with shoes making their way to our workshop is to be covered by the customer.
Post shoes to: Big John's Retreads. PO Box 114, Blackheath, NSW, 2785. Couriered shoes can be sent to our workshop street address at U6/134 Station St, Blackheath, NSW, 2785.
* If you are unsure which repair your shoes need, simply purchase a Retread and we will contact you if your shoes require any additional work. As a rule of thumb, any splits, holes or noticable creases on or near the rand will require a Rand and Retread to repair the damage. 
Some tips on sending your shoes:
  • Please minimise the amount of packaging used to ship your shoes. Wrapping your shoes in additional plastic bags/ packaging is not necessary.
  • Please avoid sending your shoes with accessories (such as carabiners to tie them together, cotton bags, ect.), as we cannot guarantee their return.
