Terms & Conditions (T&Cs) - updated 18th August 2023
Make the most of your day and do what you want by being hands free
Sorry for the read, but legal said some things need to be said
At BagBoyz®, we like to keep matters reasonably simple.
After all, this is not rocket science.
We are picking up your Bags, storing them and then Dropping them Off.
However, there are some points that require clarity.
The following Terms and Conditions apply to your use of this Website and our Services.
Please take some time to read and familiarise yourself with these Terms and Conditions.
If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, you should not use our Website and/or Services. If the Booking was made on your behalf by a third party, the continuing use of our Services means that you agree to the Terms and Conditions. If the Booking was made on your behalf by a third party and you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, please exercise your right to cancel your Booking.
The Terms and Conditions may be amended by us at any time and the updated version will be dated and listed at https://www.bagboyzbagboyz.com/terms-of-service (this page).
It may be necessary to amend the Terms and Conditions as our business needs change, the law changes or in the event to expand upon any unforeseen circumstances.
Despite future amendments, the Terms & Conditions agreed upon by the Client at the time of agreeing to our Terms and Conditions will stand, but only in relation to that specific Transaction and Service, with the exception of the effect of any retrospective law.
At no time, will any Term or Condition restrict the rights of the Client as stated in Commonwealth of Australia Law, Victoria Law or any Local Laws. They will also not impose any further obligation to the Client that is outside the law.
We operate as BagBoyz® and our postal address is PO Box 89, Highpoint City, Vic, 3032. We can be contacted by post or at support@bagboyzbagboyz.com.

1. bookings
Bookings are only final once payment has been made via our Booking Form. You can use PayPal or Stripe. You will receive an email or SMS notification from us once the payment has been made confirming your Booking.
2. Amendments to your booking
You MAY be able to amend your Booking.
It is advised to provide as much notice as possible.
Ideally, notify us as soon as you become aware that the Booking needs to be amended.
We want to work with you.
There may be additional charges; however, these will be discussed when the Booking is being amended.
It is our aim to not change or cancel your Booking once it has been accepted.
Sometimes there may be instances where the circumstances are beyond our control eg. An act of Terror.
If it is necessary for us to change or cancel your Booking, we reserve the right to do so.
The onus is on you to provide the correct details for us to contact you. This includes the email address and the contact telephone number.
The majority of our services involve no contact with the Client until we are physically Dropping Off the Bags; however, on rare occasions, if we need to speak to you, we would like to do so.
3. Price & payment
Our prices are listed on our Pricing page.
Confirmed Bookings will be at the nominated price at the time of the Booking.
Our prices are subject to change; however, this will not affect the price you paid at the time of the Booking.
Payment is required in advance and at the time of the Booking. Payments can be made by credit card, debit card or through your PayPal account.
The prices listed on the Pricing page include the merchant fee charged by Australian Financial Institutions, Stripe or PayPal.
In the event we are charged any additional merchant fees ie. from a Non-Australian Financial Institution, the additional fee MAY be charged. We do not carry change.
A Bag is one item of any size, provided that we can lift it and it fits in our vans.
In order to minimise the number of Bags, you may put Bags inside Bags; however loose Bags, Bags that are not contained inside another Bag, will be classed as a Bag.
4. Our care to you
We will provide reasonable care when handling your Bags and delivering your Bags at the nominated Drop Off time.
In the event that we fail to deliver your Bag at the nominated Drop Off time due to circumstances within our control and as a consequence your Bag misses the flight, we will forward your Bag to the final destination at our cost.
This will apply when the Drop Off time has been scheduled as per our suggested Drop Off Times. Eg 3 hours before an International Flight Departure and 90 minutes before a Domestic Departure.
We will only Drop Off the Bag to the person that we reasonably believe to be the Client.
We may verify the Client by way of a password, proof of Booking and/or requesting to sight their identification.
It is recommended that you do not leave drinks, especially opened drinks in your Bags. Your Bag may not always be the right way up.
If you have something fragile in your Bag, we recommend telling us and we will carry and store the Bag separately. Fragile items include but are not limited to laptops, gifts and wine (unopened).
Your Bag is NOT Stored in a temperature-controlled environment. Please note this when you have chocolate in your Bag.
We will always do our best, but you need to tell us if you have a Bag that contains something fragile.
5. Your responsibilities
If at the time of the Drop Off, you are requested to verify your identity, by way of password, Booking confirmation or identification, you will need to provide this before the Bag/s is/are handed over.
You agree to be present at the time of the Drop Off as confirmed in your Booking. If you fail to do so, additional fees MAY apply.
Grace periods may apply; however, they are based on our schedule.
We highly recommend communication and we can be contacted through WhatsApp or mobile on the same number – 0468 882 247 if you are going to be late.
Ideally, you tell us before the Drop Off time and give as much notice as possible.
We suggest using the ETA function of your phone maps when you have hopped into your transport or started walking.
We reserve the right to charge Additional Fees for lateness Additional Fees are calculated at $30 per 15 minutes or part thereof.
Additional Fees must be settled before the Bags are Dropped Off.
We also reserve the right to reschedule your Drop Off, if your delay is going to have an effect on our schedule.
