Hands Free Shopping

Yes, bookings must be made online via this webpage. For Valet Parking customers, Hands Free Shopping is a packaged inclusion and a separate online booking for Hands Free Shopping is not required.

Hands Free Shopping is a convenient way for you to shop at Chadstone and not worry about carrying your purchases. Our Hands Free Shopping team will collect and temporarily store your shopping bags after you request their collection via the unique SMS link sent to you after booking the service. Valet Parking customers already enjoy this as a packaged service with purchases delivered directly to the car. Non-valet customers will need to pickup their bags from the designated Centre collection location at the end of their visit.

\$25 per customer registration per day.

Each booking is limited to one person, with one SMS with a unique link sent to you on payment.

Regardless of whether you arrived by Valet Parking or purchased Hands Free Shopping online, you will receive an SMS with a unique link that allows you make parcel collection requests on your mobile phone. Through this link customers can notify the Hands Free Shopping team of parcel collection requests. You must keep this link confidential and secure.

Customers must advise retailers that they are utilising the Hands Free Shopping service and wish to leave their parcels with the store for the Hands Free Shopping team to collect.

Customers must show retail store staff their SMS link so that they may confirm details and store parcels for collection accordingly.

Customers must then tap the unique SMS link to initiate a collection request, completing the mandatory fields:

1. Name of store?

2. Number of parcels to collect?

3. Is a trolley required (e.g. for numerous parcels)?

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the accuracy of the information submitted to the Hands Free Shopping team.

Customers can also use the unique SMS link to notify the Hands Free Shopping team to ready their parcels for collection at the end of their visit. Parcels can be collected from your allocated Centre collection location. For Valet customers, any parcels that we collect for you will be placed directly in your car.
