Bunnings to Have Transactional Website by Christmas

Michael Schneider, the MD of Bunnings, has told an Australian trade magazine that the DIY retailer will have a full online offer by Christmas 2019.

Despite having one of the most visited shopping websites in Australia, Bunnings only introduced online ordering in June 2018, and even then only on select items in certain geographical areas.   

Currently, the Bunnings website states that a range of 20,000 'Special Order' products are available to buy online, but these items are not available to purchase in stores.

Bunnings had expected to be able to provide a full e-commerce offering to customers in Australia by September 2020.

Mr Scheider told Australia's Inside Retail: 

“We believe that, done right, our click and collect offer will be rolled out across Australia by Christmas – well ahead of schedule. 

“This follows the successful introduction of click and collect in Tasmania in April. We’ve been really delighted with the progress and customers’ response to the offer.

“This is a real testament to our team, who have worked hard to make this happen, ensuring we are building an offer that delivers choice and convenience when it comes to how people want to shop with us.”
