What's the go with click and collect?

How can a motorcycle wrecker be offering used parts as click and collect from woollies? Isn't it for buying a new toaster etc? Or something the store stocks?

It also baffles me why you would collect an item in store when the seller offers free post as the other option? I bought something the other day and the option was collect from woollies (66km away to the closest one) for free or have it posted for free. It's no quicker (estimated 5 days for click and collect, parcel was here in 4 days anyway) and if the postage is allowed for in the price, what's in it for the buyer to collect?

It's for people who can't easily get to the PO during their opening hours. Woollies and Big W are usually open later than the PO, plus they are open weekends. Some people work too far away from the PO to even pick up in their lunch break. If they work the same hours as the PO, then they have no chance of picking up their parcel.

No-one is forced to use it, it's just another option for those who want delivery that way. They can pick up from Woollies when they go to do their shopping, for example.

Woolworths and Big w stores are the pick up point for Click and Collect purchases from eBay sellers. If it suits you to use Click and Collect, the seller simply posts your purchase directly to the Big W/Woolies store, who then notify you that it is ready for you to collect and you go in at your leisure to pick it up. It can be used for all kinds of purchases, you are not buying from Big W, just getting your eBay purchase delivered there. It's great for those who work full time and can't get to the PO in working hours.

Cheers,

No it's for any item a seller on ebay sells. it has nothing to do with old or new or what is sold in store.

It's just a drop off point for buyers who find it more convenient getting to a woolies or big W instead of a post office or home address. If a buyer works full time and only gets half hour for lunch chances are they can get to a woolies easier than a PO.
