KC Australia Merchandise Pre-Orders
No Pick-Up Option for Merch Ordered Through Reg Portal:
All merchandise pre-orders via the registration system this year will be posted to your nominated shipping address ahead of the event. This is because in past years, our supplier has had a lot of unclaimed pick-up orders on race weekend.
If you select add on merch items then a flat $15 fee will be added at checkout to cover postage via our partner, KC Australia. This postage fee applies per transaction and will only be a max of $15 (for Australia-wide postage), regardless of how many merchandise items you purchase.
Items in the registration form may show a higher display price initially (because the system includes the $15 fee), but at checkout will be corrected when the $15 shipping fee applies to the whole cart and not each item. For example, if you order five merchandise items, you will only be charged one fee of $15.
KC Australia will reach out directly to any competitors who require international shipping.
If You Prefer to Pick-Up Merch (Not Posted) Order Direct from KC Website:
To be able to Collect your merch from KC Australia or on event weekend at the merch tent directly, please place your pre-order through the KC shop portal, which will be available soon.
