Black Friday FAQs
When does the sale start and end?
It opens at 12pm AEDT on Thursday 12 November and ends at midnight on Monday 23 November. That's 11:30am in Adelaide, 11am in Brisbane, 10:30am in Darwin and 9am in Perth.
Is there early access?
No. Everyone gets in at the same time, so the best head start is a cart that's ready to go.
Can I add things to my cart now?
Yes, please do. Your cart is saved on the device and browser you used. When the sale opens at 12pm, the prices in your cart drop by themselves.
Does adding something to my cart hold it for me?
No. Stock goes to whoever checks out first. Popular characters went fast last sale, so we'd suggest getting in early on the 12th.
Do I need a discount code?
No. Sale prices show on the site and in your cart automatically: 25% off Rugaroo, 20% off Rugabub Foam Play Mats and 50% off Baby Bags.
How do the free gifts work?
Spend $300 after discounts and Chrissy the Christmas Roo is added to your order free. Spend $500 and you get Chrissy plus Jack, our big 50cm cotton kangaroo.
Everything in your cart counts, including play mats and baby bags. Gifts are while stocks last.
Can I buy Chrissy?
Not during the sale. He's a gift with purchase only, so spending $300 is the only way to bring him home.
What is the Build your mob button?
From 12pm on the 12th, a Build your mob button appears on every Rugaroo page. It opens the whole Rugaroo range in one panel so you can add everything in one go, and a tracker shows how close you are to Chrissy and Jack.
Is anything new launching?
Yes. Three new Rugabub Foam Play Mats (Azur / Ocean-Road, Coral / Ocean-Road and Biscuit) and new Rugaroo characters all arrive on 12 November, at sale prices from day one.
Will my order arrive before Christmas?
Order by these dates for standard shipping and it should arrive in time for Christmas. Play mats travel by courier, so they have their own dates.
