Do you export internationally?

We currently do not export directly to any international destinations. We can however assist you with delivery to any of your preferred customs agents or international export couriers within Australia. As we do not export, we are unable to provide you with a GST exempt invoice. GST refunds will remain the responsibility of the customer via their customs agent.

What is discounted freight?

When you spend over $295 (ex GST) you will automatically receive a discounted freight rate for the items in your cart. Not all delivery areas are eligible for discounted freight.

Payment/Pricing

What payment methods do you accept?

We will happily accept the following as payment methods:

  • Cash
  • Eftpos
  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • We do not accept cheques.
Do you price match?

Our ‘Lowest Price Guarantee’ is our commitment to you. If you see an identical item cheaper from another supplier, website or store, we'll match that price for you. All sales are subject to our main Koch & Co Terms and Conditions.

Why do you show more than one price?

We like to reward our customers when they buy in larger quantities. For example, a price break of ‘2+’ means that when you buy two or more of an identical item, you will receive a cheaper price per unit.

Why are there Goods & Services Tax (GST) Pricing options?

As a wholesale company dealing with trade and retail customers, we have provided the option to view prices inclusive or exclusive of GST. To view prices inclusive or exclusive of GST, click on “GST” next to the shopping cart.

Can I receive a 30 day Credit Account?

Firstly you must have set up a Trade ABN account with Koch. This will initially be a COD or payment before delivery account. If you have traded with Koch & Co for 6 months on a COD basis, we may consider your application for a credit account. You will need to complete an Application Request for Credit Terms Account form, including Personal Guarantee, Privacy Indemnity and Credit Card Authority. It will then be reviewed by our Credit Controller.

If approved, you will be able to trade on credit. Koch Credit Account terms of repayment are 30 days from date of invoice. If you believe your circumstances are different and should be reviewed by Koch for a Credit Account, prior the 6 month COD period, please feel free to contact your Koch sales representative, or contact our credit controller direct on (02) 9741-4930.
