Yes, occasionally we do buy back coins from collectors.
However, if you are looking to sell your collection your best option is to contact Australian Coin Auctions who will sell your coins at Auction on your behalf.

How can I order coins from Downies if I live outside Australia?

Our website caters to a global audience. Currently the site is equipped to display two different currencies, which you set when you first visit the site - you can later adjust your currency by hitting the "Change Currency" link situated at the top right of our main header. Please take note, the usage of either currency will not affect your end-order. During the checkout process you'll be prompted for your location and postage details.

How long does it take to process an order?

As our product warehouse is located in Melbourne, Australia, we ask customers outside Australia to please allow approximately 3-4 weeks for delivery. This time covers the processing of the order by our Client Service department, despatch department, and any unforseeable delays with shipping using international postal carriers.

In rare cases we may offer products on our site that we do not yet have stocks of in our warehouse ready to ship, in these cases a note will be placed in the product description informing of any extra waiting time. In normal cases, however, if your product(s) have not arrived to you in three to four weeks please contact our Client Services department using the contact details provided on our Contact Us page. Orders are processed on a first come-first served basis.

Please Note: In the case of shipped packages returned to us due to incorrect or incomplete address information supplied by the customer, we may charge the actual cost of re-shipping the item.

I signed up for the email newsletter but am not receiving it. What's the problem?

Many email programs have spam filters which unintentionally stop emails that you may want to receive. To cure this problem you need to be sure that your email program accepts emails coming from email@downies.com, info@downies.com and do_not_reply@downies.com.

With most email programs you can then set the email to a "safe" list, which will ensure that all future emails sent from our address are received in your inbox.
