Wollongong to Charlestown, and back
The workshop is at 193 Pacific Highway, Charlestown NSW 2290, in the Newcastle area. From Wollongong that is about 254 km by road and a bit over three hours behind the wheel, so nobody expects you to drive it. Wollongong to Charlestown is a same-state Australia Post lane. Both ends of the trip are in New South Wales. The postage speeds in the table are Australia Post's published figures, not ours. Neither the Wollongong 2500 postcode nor our 2290 postcode appears in Australia Post's published Express Post next-business-day list, so we quote the same-state range instead of promising next day and hoping.
| Tier | Postage each way (Australia Post) | Door-to-door | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Parcel Post, 2 to 4 business days | 3 to 8 business days | $0 |
| Express Post | Express Post, 1 to 2 business days. Workshop starts within 24 hours of arrival | 2 to 4 business days | +$49 |
| Express Workshop | Express Post Platinum both ways, same-day in the workshop (in by 11am, out by 5pm) | 1 to 3 business days | +$129 |
Shipping is a flat $100 both ways, fully insured, added to your invoice only if you approve the repair. Every tier includes the 3-month workmanship warranty. Postage speeds are Australia Post's published figures; next-business-day Express Post applies inside its network only, which is why we quote ranges.
The faults we see most, wherever they are posted from: PS5 HDMI port, PS5 won't turn on, PS5 white light, PS5 disc drive, controller stick drift, Xbox Series X won't turn on, Nintendo Switch repairs. Every one of them is a fixed price with photos before you pay.
Wollongong's postcode is 2500. Australia Post's published Express Post next-business-day network table lists Sydney (1000 to 1920, 2000 to 2234, 2555 to 2574, 2740 to 2786) and Canberra, and does not list Wollongong 2500 or Charlestown 2290. Plan on Australia Post's same-state Express Post figure of 1 to 2 business days each way, which is what the table above uses. By road Wollongong is 84 km from Sydney and 254 km from the workshop.
Heading up the highway anyway?
If you are coming up to Newcastle anyway, it is about 254 km and a bit over three hours by road from Wollongong; drop the console at Charlestown before 11am on the Express Workshop tier and it is ready to collect before 5pm the same day, but ring 1300 137 855 first so the bench is clear for it.
Wollongong questions, answered
How long does mail-in console repair from Wollongong take?
From Wollongong the postage takes 1-2 business days each way. Repairs are usually completed within same calendar day if in by 11am, else within 24 hours. Total turnaround is typically 3-8 business days door-to-door.
How much does it cost to ship my console from Wollongong?
A padded Australia Post satchel is covered — we email you a prepaid, insured label upfront. We send your repaired console back via Express Post — included in the flat $100 insured shipping on every approved repair.
What if my console can't be fixed?
We give you an honest answer either way. If you take the device back without a repair, it's our standard $88 service fee plus postage — or we'll offer trade-in credit instead.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — every repair comes with a 3-month workmanship warranty. If the same fault returns at any point we'll fix it free and cover return postage.
Is Wollongong to Newcastle inside the Express Post next-business-day network?
Not on Australia Post's current published list. That table names Sydney postcodes 1000 to 1920, 2000 to 2234, 2555 to 2574 and 2740 to 2786, plus Canberra, and neither Wollongong 2500 nor Charlestown 2290 is on it. Australia Post's same-state Express Post figure is 1 to 2 business days each way, so that is what we quote on the Express Post and Express Workshop tiers. If it lands next day, good. We do not plan around it, and neither should you.
How far is Wollongong from your workshop?
About 254 km by road, a bit over three hours each way. That is why it is a mail-in job. The label we email you is prepaid and insured, and you drop the console at any Australia Post outlet in Wollongong. The flat $100 shipping both ways only goes on the invoice if you approve the repair. If you are driving up to Newcastle anyway, see the note above about dropping it in before 11am.
Which Wollongong post office do I take it to?
Any Australia Post outlet. The label is prepaid and insured, so the counter scans it and hands you a receipt with the tracking number. Keep that receipt until the console is back in your hands. If you are posting from a PO box address, note Wollongong's box postcode is 2520, not 2500, when you fill in the booking form.
