FAQ's

Q. I can't find an item or I've been looking everywhere or can you get this item that I can't find?
A. If you have done a search on Google, eBay etc and looked past the first page (ie really had a good look) then it doesn't exist. There is no secret repository that retailers have models kept away so customers can't find them unless they ask.

 

Q. I found this item elsewhere; can you get it in?
A. Short answer is no. I don't order in single pieces for orders. Also see below.

 

Q. Are you getting this item or that item in that's just been released?
A. I don't provide information about what's coming in other than what you see on the pre-order page.

A. Unfortunately as an online retailer we are not able to source models of Australian vehicles due to distributors requiring shops or showrooms for wholesale purchases.

Q. What payment method do you have available?
A. Bongo's Basement accepts PayPal, Direct Deposits, Money Orders and Credit Cards. (Credit Card payments are processed through our PayPal merchant service.) Please refer to our "Payment & Privacy" page for further information.

 

Q. Do your models come with a Certificate of Authenticity or COA?
A. Virtually all our models do not come with a COA. While some manufacturers do include or promote COA's they are merely a marketing initiative. Possibly 10-20years ago COA may have been a useful method of ensuring an honest transaction but with a colour printer in nearly every home or workplace and with today's scanning technology they are meaningless.
To ensure you are getting what you are paying for, please read the description carefully and check the photos it's the best way. Also please be assured we source nearly all our stock from the US from Wholesalers and Distributors with decades of experience in the industry. (Other items are sources from reputable local suppliers.)

A. Yes. All items are new and sold in the original manufacturer's packaging.
