You can find the delivery status in your Climbing Anchors account or via the courier tracking page, which is linked to you in the “Order # has shipped” dispatch email.
If your order has been delivered to your address but you are unable to find it, check the surrounding areas if the driver has placed it in a safe place, not visible from the street.
If you find the courier has left an attempted delivery note redirecting you to a pick-up location, which sometimes happens if the driver deems it unsafe to leave the parcel unattended at the nominated delivery address. To pick up your parcel, bring the card left by the driver and your photo ID (i.e. drivers licence). If you didn’t receive a card, you can show a tracking number to pick up your parcel.
Get in touch and we will lodge an investigation with the courier for you. You may be charged a reshipment fee of $7.95.

When should I use Click & Collect?
Click & Collect is used when purchasing non-returnable safety equipment where you're unsure about the comfort or the fit (e.g. helmets and harnesses). Once you place an order online, we can send a product to your closest store or hold it aside for you until you can come try it on. When you try on safety equipment in store, you'll still be able to swap for a different size if it doesn't fit.
How do I know when my order is ready for pick up?
The product availability by store on the product page beneath the price will give you a general idea of the wait time. If the product is available at your closest store, you will receive a pick up email notification within 1 - 2 business days of the order.
Not all items are held in stores. If the product is available online but not at your closest store, placing an order will notify us to ship it from our warehouse to the store which can take 3 - 5 business days.
During promotions (e.g. Boxing Day Sale), we cannot guarantee all products will be availabile for pick up in stores due to limited avaliability. Your C&C order will only be avaliable for pick up on the same day if the items are available at your selected store. Delays may happen if the stock is not avaliable in the store and needs to be transferred from our warehouse, in which we will contact you about your options.
To pick up your order, please show us a photo ID and an invoice for the order. You may also on occassion be asked to bring your payment card for verification.
Yes, you may have someone else pick up your order for you. Please send them a copy of the invoice to show us upon collection.
It is highly recommended that you come in store to try on any safety equipment that requires sizing (i.e. harnesses and helmets). You will be unable to return safety items if your friend collects them and they are the wrong size, even if the items are unused.
We will hold your Click & Collect order for 90 days. If you are unable to collect the item after 90 days, the order will be cancelled and you will be refunded.
Due to the critical nature of safety equipment, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on any item labelled safety equipment. Please double check that you’ve chosen the correct equipment before finalising your purchase. If you are ever unsure, our customer service team can provide recommendations or advice on climbing equipment catered to your specific needs.
Please understand that this policy is strictly to ensure that all our customers are guaranteed that their equipment is in a new, unused, and safe condition. We do not resell safety equipment and therefore do not offer returns / exchanges. What is listed under safety equipment?
Clearance items are also excluded from returns. A clearance item, not subject to safety exclusions, may be eligible for exchange in size if it is available.
For more information, please refer to our Returns Policy.
You will need to check if your item meets our rules of return outlined in our Returns Policy.

What is listed under safety equipment?
All items we stock are backed by manufacturer warranties.

You can find how old your climbing equipment is by locating the Date Of Manufacture (DOM). Climbing equipment will usually have the DOM labelled on a tag for textiles or laser-etched for hardware.
To ensure you're looking at the correct tag and interpreting the DOM correctly please refer to the user manual that came with the gear when you purchased it. This manual can also be found online as a digital copy on the product page or the brand's website. If you can't find it, contact our customer service team to help.
Note: The European Standard (i.e. CE 2008) can sometimes be confused as the date of manufacture.The date of manufacture will mostly come in the following format : 04/2025, but can vary from brand to brand.
The lifespan of climbing equipment varies between each product type. We regularly assess all our products according to the manufacturers recommended shelf life and the product's average lifespan (when in use) to ensure we're not selling safety equipment that we deem to be excessively aged at full price.
We do our best to pre-emptively discount products that we deem too "old" to sell at full price, which are sold in-store only.
When considering what is too "old", please keep in mind that we often cannot guarantee equipment with a manufacturing date of under 18 months due to manufacturing and shipping schedules, our location in the world, how niche climbing equipment is, and any external distributor/s warehousing before reaching our shelves.
If you've received an item you believe is excessively aged and are concerned about the Date Of Manufacture, please don't hestitate to get in contact with our customer service team.
We regularly assess all our products according to the manufacturers recommended shelf life and the product's average lifespan (when in use) to ensure we're not selling safety equipment that we deem to be excessively aged at full price. Please know that we have likely already assessed it to be within an appropriate timeframe.
For Example
A climbing harness might have it's lifespan printed in it's manual of "10 Years from Date Of Manufacture". However, this indicates the shelf life of the harness when it is not used. In reality, a harness will need to be retired way before this date is reached based on the average usage (see When To Replace Your Climbing Harness). We keep this in mind when assessing the age of equipment.
If you require equipment with a certain Date of Manufacture, we urge you to contact us and we will do our best to provide something with your requested D.O.M.
