Payment Policy
This Payment Policy explains the payment methods currently accepted by Metro Containers, how payments are processed, when an order is considered paid, and important information customers should review before completing a purchase.
Metro Containers is operated by METRO CONTAINER SERVICES PTY LTD. Customers can purchase available products through our WooCommerce store and complete the payment process using one of the payment methods currently displayed and available at checkout.
At present, we accept Osko payments and Direct Bank Transfer. Credit and debit card payment facilities are temporarily unavailable.
Payment availability shown at checkout takes precedence over general descriptions elsewhere on the website because payment services may occasionally be updated or temporarily unavailable.
Osko
Customers may pay using Osko where their participating financial institution supports the payment method. Payment instructions and the information required to identify your order will be provided during checkout or with your order details.
Direct Bank Transfer
Customers may transfer the order total directly to the bank account specified in the payment instructions. Your order number or other reference supplied with the order should be used as the payment reference so that the payment can be correctly matched.
Credit & Debit Cards
Credit and debit card payments are currently temporarily unavailable. Customers should use one of the payment methods displayed as available during checkout until card payment facilities are restored.
Payment at Checkout
When placing an order through our website, customers should review the products selected, quantities, billing and delivery details, applicable charges and final order total before completing checkout.
The payment methods currently available for the transaction will be displayed during checkout.
Order Confirmation
Submitting an order creates an order record within our WooCommerce store. Where payment is made by Osko or bank transfer, the order may remain awaiting payment or payment confirmation until the funds can be received and matched to the relevant order.
Customers should retain their order confirmation and payment records.
Osko Payments
If you choose Osko, follow the payment instructions provided with your order carefully.
- Confirm the payment details before authorising the transaction
- Pay the exact order amount unless instructed otherwise
- Use your order number or provided reference
- Keep your transaction confirmation for your records
Processing and settlement times can depend on the financial institutions involved and circumstances outside our control.
Direct Bank Transfer
Customers selecting Direct Bank Transfer must transfer payment using the bank details provided through the applicable payment instructions.
Orders paid by bank transfer may not proceed to fulfilment until the payment has been received and can be identified against the order.
Please ensure the payment reference is entered accurately to reduce unnecessary delays in matching your transfer to your order.
Payment Amount
Customers are responsible for reviewing the total amount payable before submitting payment.
The order total will reflect the products and applicable charges disclosed as part of the purchasing process. Any additional amount applicable to an order should be disclosed before the customer is required to complete payment.
If the amount shown on your order appears incorrect, contact us before sending funds.
Payment Reference
When making an Osko or bank transfer payment, customers should include the applicable order number or payment reference where requested.
Missing or incorrect references may make it more difficult to identify a payment and can delay processing of the order.
Payment Confirmation
A receipt, screenshot or transfer confirmation can provide useful information when investigating a transaction, but the availability of funds to Metro Containers may still need to be confirmed before an order is treated as fully paid.
We may contact you if additional information is reasonably required to identify or reconcile a payment.
Incorrect or Duplicate Payments
If you believe you have accidentally paid the wrong amount or submitted the same payment more than once, please contact us promptly and provide your order number and relevant transaction information.
Any verified overpayment or duplicate payment will be reviewed and handled according to the circumstances of the transaction and applicable law.
Failed or Unreceived Payments
An order may remain unpaid if funds are not successfully received, transferred to incorrect details, reversed by a financial institution, or cannot be matched to an order.
Where payment has not been successfully received, we may contact the customer or request that the payment issue be resolved before the order proceeds.
Refund Payments
Approved refunds are handled in accordance with our Return and Refunds Policy and applicable Australian consumer law.
Where a payment was made through Osko or bank transfer, reasonable information may be required from the customer so an approved refund can be processed to an appropriate account.
Changes to Available Payment Methods
Metro Containers may add, restore, remove or temporarily suspend a payment method when required for technical, operational or service reasons.
We will aim to keep the payment information on our website consistent with the payment options actually available at checkout. Customers should rely on the methods shown as available during the current checkout process.
Credit Card Payment Notice
Our credit and debit card payment facilities are temporarily unavailable.
Until card payment services are restored, customers can complete eligible orders using Osko or Direct Bank Transfer as displayed during checkout.
We will update the payment options presented on the website when card payments become available again.
Payment Security & Fraud Awareness
Customers should carefully verify payment instructions before transferring funds. Do not send payment to account details that differ from the legitimate instructions provided for your order without first confirming the change directly with Metro Containers.
If you receive an unexpected message advising that our payment or bank details have changed, contact us through the contact information published on our website before making payment.
Never disclose your internet banking password, authentication codes or other private banking credentials to Metro Containers.
