My store is online only – Can I still become a reseller?
Businesses must have a physical store to become a reseller, any online store must be in addition to a physical store.
What if your dealer doesn’t have the product in stock?

What if Toowoomba Saddlery does not have the item in stock?
Our standard practise is to place goods on back order and let you know when they arrive unless otherwise requested. If the product has been discontinued we will notify you.

Pricing FAQ
How often are website prices updated?
At least once a week. Every effort will be made to maintain prices, however, due to the fluctuation of the cost of our raw materials, exchange rates and overhead costs. We reserve the right to alter prices without notice.
Are there discounts for bulk quantities?
Bulk discounts may apply to some items, primarily manufacturing products. Please check pricing and indent quantities prior to ordering.
Why is the price on your website different to the price your dealer is advertising?
The price on our website is the Recommended Retail Price (RRP), this price is provided to our dealers as a guide, however they are not legally obligated to match it and may sell our products above or below this price.
Delivery & Returns FAQ
What delivery services do you use?
For deliveries within Australia we will primarily use either Australia Post (E parcel) or Star Track Express. However we may use other freighters or services if requested or necessary.
How much does delivery cost?
This will depend on the weight and dimensions of the total order, the freighter or delivery service used and the delivery location. Because of this variability, we may not be able to quote delivery until the order has been packed, weighed and measured.
How do I track my parcel?
Most delivery services used by Toowoomba Saddlery include a tracking number. This number can either be entered on the freighter’s website, or an enquiry made on their helpline with the tracking number as reference. In most cases, tracking numbers are emailed to you by the freighter upon despatch.
Below are the websites for our most common freighters which you can use to track your delivery.
• Australia Post • Star Track Express
What is your returns policy?
Toowoomba Saddlery will generally only accept returns if the product supplied is faulty or if the incorrect item has been sent. Claims for shortages, packing errors or damages must be made within 24 hours of receipt of goods. Goods that are to be returned for credit are to be returned within 7 days of receipt in the same condition as provided. We reserve the right to charge a re-stocking fee for goods returned that were supplied correctly. Toowoomba Saddlery will only cover the cost of return freight if the returned goods are faulty or supplied incorrectly. All credit claims should be made by writing, telephone, fax or e-mail giving full details of invoice number, order number and reason for the credit claim. Goods are not to be returned without obtaining prior approval and freight instructions given.
If you are a dealer and are concerned about specific products which are not moving, please contact us to discuss your options.
If you have purchased leather, please carefully check it over prior to use as we cannot accept the leather back once it is cut into. Due to parcel size, most leather orders and returns must travel via courier.
Miscellaneous FAQ
Does Toowoomba Saddlery repair saddles, tack or other leather goods?
Toowoomba Saddlery may be able to repair products made here at Toowoomba Saddlery, otherwise we recommend that leather goods are taken to your local saddle maker/repairer.
Will Toowoomba Saddlery custom make a saddle upon request?
Most Toowoomba Saddlery saddles are available with different options in size, colour, finish, lining or fender length. We do not manufacture unique ‘one-off’ custom saddles or other leather goods. If you are interested in having a bulk quantity of a new product made for resale please contact us to discuss your options.
Do you sell leather off-cuts?
We are usually unable to supply offcuts as we endeavour to use every scrap of leather and already have arrangements for what little offcuts we do have.
Which of your products are Australian Made?
Toowoomba Saddlery is proud to be a member of the Australian Made Campaign. Where a product is Australian made this will be indicated with a statement and/or the Australian Made logo (only products registered with the Australian Made Campaign will display the triangle logo).
