Invoicing

Once your online order has been processed, you can obtain a copy of your invoice in one of two ways:

  1. Calling our Customer Service Team on 1300 633 423 to organise a new copy being sent to you
  2. If you have a 30-Day Officeworks Account you can access all of your latest invoices by simply logging into your account

Keep in mind your invoice doesn't include any items that were unavailable at the time the delivery was made. These items will be placed on 'back order' and a separate invoice will be sent for these items once they become available again.

This can often explain why the amount you've been invoiced is different to the amount that has been charged to your Credit Card.


Back Orders

Back orders are available when a particular item is out of stock. If you've already paid for the item it can take up to 10 business days before you receive it. If you haven't received it after this time please call our Customer Service Team on 1300 633 423 and they will be able to follow it up for you.

To cancel something you currently have on 'back order', you'll also need to call our Customer Service Team on 1300 633 423 to process the cancellation or organise a suitable, alternative product.

Online Payment Security

At Officeworks, we're committed to ensuring your data, personal identification and payment information is always handled safely and securely.

If you're experiencing concerns or security warning pop-up messages during the online ordering payment process, don't stress.

The following three online payment issue scenarios will help you move through the online ordering process quickly and without a worry.

1. Issues with Security Warnings

Are you experiencing security warning pop-up messages?

When you reach the Payment step in the checkout process and if you’re using Internet Explorer browsers (IE6, IE7, IE8), you may be presented with a security warning pop-up message.

These warning messages appear because the Internet Explorer browser on your computer is configured to trust either one of the addresses below, but not both:

  • www.officeworks.com.au
  • http://www.officeworks.com.au
  • payments.coles.com.au
  • https://payments.coles.com.au

Please verify that the address displayed in the security warning pop-up message is included in the list above before proceeding by clicking the 'yes' button.


Would you like to ensure you don’t receive security warning pop-up messages in the future?

Then simply follow these instructions on your computer or laptop:

  1. Select 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options' in your browser menu
  2. Select the 'Security' tab
  3. Select the 'Trusted' sites icon
  4. Select the 'Sites' Button
  5. Then make sure that both addresses: http://officeworks.com.au and https://payments.coles.com.au appear on the Web Sites listing
  6. Select the 'OK' button to save your changes and exit
  7. Select the 'OK' button again to exit Internet Options dialog box

These Officeworks sites have now been added to your Trusted sites list and will be recognised by your browser.

Please note:if you are within a network you may need to ask you network administrator to add these sites to the Trusted site list.


2. Issues with the Secure Connection (SSL) Certificate

You may encounter an advisory pop-up screen that relates to Secure Connection (SSL) certificates when making a payment during your online order.

In most cases, this will be a security warning that the SSL certificate was not issued by a trusted certificate authority and may occur because the security certificate is not listed in the ‘Trusted Root Certification Authorities’ list in Windows.


There are two ways of avoiding these messages:
  1. Keeping your certificates up-to-date by visiting the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=931125 and following the link 'Download the rootsupd.exe package' to download and run the update.
  2. Running 'Windows Update' and applying all the recommended updates, which will include updating the trusted root certificates.

3. Payment Submission Error: 'Payment submission has expired'

Some browsers may have cached our old and outdated Payment Details page.

As a result, you may receive an error message saying 'Payment submission has expired. Please re-select payment type.' And upon clicking the 'OK' button, you are automatically redirected to the Payment Selection page again.

To fix this problem, you’ll need to clear your browser’s cache so the browser can accept the new Officeworks Payment Detail page. Below you’ll find specific instructions on how to do that with each different type of browser:


Safari 4.0.4 and newer
  1. Select Safari from the top menu and click on 'Empty Cache'
  2. A dialog box will appear to confirm
  3. Select 'Empty' to confirm
  4. Reload the Payment Selection page again before continuing through the payment process

Firefox 3.5 and newer
  1. Select the 'Tools' option from the top menu
  2. Select 'Clear Root History'
  3. Select 'Details' and make sure that only the 'Cache' option is selected
  4. Click the 'Clear Now' button
  5. Reload the Payment Selection page again before continuing through the payment process

Internet Explorer 8
  1. Select the 'Tools' option from the top menu
  2. Select 'Internet Options'
  3. Under the 'Browsing History' section, click the 'Delete…' button
  4. Make sure that only 'Cookies' is ticked and then select the 'Delete' button
  5. Reload the Payment Selection page again before continuing through the payment process
