Welcome present — ten dollars off and a surprise cartridge in the box

New here? Your first order gets AU$10 off a cart of AU$40+ and a second playable title tucked in alongside it — a Game Boy cart, a DS case, or a PSP UMD pulled off the pocket-shelf that morning.

Your opening night — the weight of a controller in your hand at nine on a Tuesday.

No code to copy, no fine print. The AU$10 comes off at checkout the moment your cart hits forty. Spend more and the discount rides — it is not a one-off coupon tied to a single SKU.

The surprise cartridge is real. Not a sticker, not a bookmark, not a discount-on-your-next-order voucher. A second playable title, pulled from our handheld shelf the morning of dispatch. Recent boxes have gone out with Mario Kart Super Circuit, Advance Wars, Patapon, and Elite Beat Agents — all graded, all region-tested, all covered by the same ten-day swap as the main copy.

Your first order in four steps

01
Queue a few titles
Use the plus button on any card, or the big "queue" CTA on a product page. Your stack saves locally — close the tab and come back whenever.
02
Review the queue
Open /queue/. Adjust quantities, drop anything you changed your mind on, or head back to the catalogue for one more pick.
03
Checkout
Enter dispatch details and pay method. We ship Monday to Friday — orders in by 2pm usually make the same-day run.
04
Ten-day swap
If a title doesn’t land, the swap window covers you. Cue another from the stack or take a refund, your call.

What lands in the parcel

The copy, as graded
The condition tier on the listing is what goes in the box. No surprise downgrades, no "acceptable" fudge. Photos match the copy you receive.
Handwritten slip
A short order slip with your ref, the titles shipped, and a note from the bench. This is how you know it was us, not a drop-shipper.
Tracking on day one
Tracking drops into your inbox within 24 hours of dispatch. Standard transit is 3–6 business days, express is 1–3.

Welcome-present FAQ

Is this new copies or pre-owned?

Pre-owned and bench-graded, unless the listing explicitly says "sealed". Every copy goes through the condition check before it’s listed.

Do you do gift orders?

Yes — add a note in the checkout "notes" field and we’ll leave out the invoice. Handwritten gift slips on request.

Can I add to an order before it ships?

Reply to your confirmation within the first business hour and we can usually merge a follow-up stack into the same parcel so you only pay one dispatch fee.
