The business has now ceased trading. Do not make any new orders.

First time poster long time lurker.

A store in Perth, Wellington Street Surplus, is closing down. A lot of their stock is on sale. I havn't really checked out all of it, just the footware.

A link to stock for sale; http://www.wellingtonsurplus.com.au/subcatDisplay/%2A-items-…

A wide selection of RM Williams Boots are $300, sizes are limited: http://www.wellingtonsurplus.com.au/listProduct/%2A-items-th…

A wide selection of Dr Marten Footware is for sale at up to 60% off, sizes also limited:

I ordered some RM boots today for $300, they seem to have processed it fine.
I was charged $15 for shipping to Perth, They ship Australia wide I believe.

Enjoy!

        Thank you.

  • hepc on 30/08/2017 - 16:01

    Great deal on RMs if they have your size..

  • Jonski on 30/08/2017 - 16:07

    $15 to Ship to Melbourne, VIC

    Thanks OP, finally picked up a pair.

  • Code Blue on 30/08/2017 - 16:22

    Thanks OP! Was waiting for a deal on comfort craftsmans. Picked up a black pair which will go nicely with my chestnut dynamic flex craftmans.

    • Coatesy on 30/08/2017 - 16:46

      I really wanted some comfort craftsman, unfortunately they were out of my size. Glad you grabbed some!!

  • garygaz on 30/08/2017 - 16:36

    what a great deal, thanks, had been about to pull the trigger for a while. saved me about 150 bucks!

  • howdydood on 30/08/2017 - 16:59

    Thanks OP - great deal

  • buckster on 30/08/2017 - 17:15

    Nice price for good quality boots.

    As long as you keep the leather upper in good shape with care the sole can be replaced any number of times when they wear out, so initially a bit more $$$ upfront than some crappy Florsheims, but you don't need to replace the whole shoe if one part wears down

    • joelmuzz on 30/08/2017 - 17:25

      Small places are cheaper than factory repair, but still you can buy cheap boots for less than resole prices.
      You can glue rubber toppys to any shoe for cheap.

      Full Re-Sole and Heel - $165.00
      Full Re-Last - $220.00
      Full Re-Last and Back Lining - $250.00
      Replace Heels - $110.00
      Replace Heel Rubber Top Pieces - $50.00
      Replace Unit Sole - $165.00
      Replace Elastics - One Elastic $55.00
      Replace Tugs (Qty 1) - $55.00
      Stretch Boots - $55.00

  • homelessguy on 30/08/2017 - 17:42

    copped a pair! thanks OP

  • bs0 on 30/08/2017 - 17:44

    Finally bought a pair, been waiting for a while!

  • ohtaek on 30/08/2017 - 17:46

    I've always heard great things about RM Williams, and wanted to get a pair myself.

    What model/pair would you veterans recommend is a staple in a guys wardrobe?

    • SydStrand on 30/08/2017 - 19:50
      +1

      Comfort/classic Craftsman are the staple. The rest are variations on that.

      • ohtaek on 31/08/2017 - 14:50

        Thanks for the info! Looks like they have been ozbargained haha

  • [Deactivated] on 30/08/2017 - 18:14

    Black yearlings, awesome!!!

  • deebeetbc on 30/08/2017 - 18:28

    Thanks OP. Copped a pair of Comfort Craftsmens. Just bought my first pair 8 weeks ago (Comfort Craftsmens - chestnut), one of the best purchases I've made and knew I needed a black pair for work!

  • Aceboy884 on 30/08/2017 - 19:43

    I'm keen but scared I will get the wrong size for boots

    • howdydood on 30/08/2017 - 19:45

      It's very easy if you follow the RM Williams sizing guide http://www.rmwilliams.com.au/buyer-s-guide%3A-men-s-boots/me…

      • SydStrand on 30/08/2017 - 19:49
        +1

        RM uses weird sizes, even using that guide. I have an 8G pair that gives me a different size from what I wear in other brands. I'd suggest going in for a fitting.

    • do-ob on 30/08/2017 - 20:35

      I bought my first pair about half a year ago, sight unseen by measuring my feet using their online chart. (Of course, I had briefly tried them on in a shop and they were supremely comfy which is why I kept looking out for them). Worked a charm. Just be ready to expect that you will likely buy a boot with a 'smaller' size number than you are used to.

    • Smigit on 31/08/2017 - 09:01

      Depending on where you live you could go into an RM Williams store and try some on to work out the size first.

      I think the general advice is go down one size from what you normally wear.

  • eggboi on 30/08/2017 - 20:53

    What's the normal price of RM boots? $300 seems excessive 😳

    • xuqi on 30/08/2017 - 20:58

      $450+

    • scepticpsych on 30/08/2017 - 20:58
      +1

      $545

    • lubos on 30/08/2017 - 21:19

      Even at retail price - over $500… it's still the cheapest option for goodyear welt and wholecut chelsea boots on the market. And these are made in Australia so I think it's no-brainer if you are in the market for chelsea boots.

  • scepticpsych on 30/08/2017 - 21:12

    Great price - these don't ever go on sale and if they do it's a clearance with limited sizing. If you're in Perth there's also a factory outlet that sell seconds for $350 I believe in Watertown. I bought mine for $300 a while back there and they're still great. I wear them nearly everyday for work, whereas I had a glued together pair of patent leather Florsheims that didn't last a few months. I think they're a worthy investment. Not at the ridiculous price RM Williams retail them for and have periodically jacked up since LV bought them out, but you can still get a pair of Comfort Craftsman from somewhere like Nungar for $400 + postage.

    • Coatesy on 30/08/2017 - 21:35

      Unfortunately, the factory outlet in Perth has since closed down. Went looking for it a few months ago. Would recommend Nungar though!

  • ReAvenger on 30/08/2017 - 23:52

    They have half price garmin gps units on sale also, very good prices, http://www.wellingtonsurplus.com.au/listProduct/%2A-items-th…

    • Coatesy on 31/08/2017 - 01:47

      Added it into the deal, Cheers mate!

  • ycon on 31/08/2017 - 09:09

    Are rm williams good for your feet? I walk about 12km to/from work daily

  • myNRMA on 31/08/2017 - 10:26

    Thanks OP, RM Williams on sale is always a good deal

  • oscarthesausagedog on 31/08/2017 - 18:10

    Just noticed this on their homepage…

    "After 75 years Wellington Surplus Stores will be closing its doors as of 31st August 2017 (Last trading day will be Sunday the 20th)."

    Hope everyone receives their orders.

  • Speckled Jim on 31/08/2017 - 19:19

    In 1994 I purchased something from this store that required ID be recorded.
    Just wondering what happens to their books of ID records once they're done trading. Anybody know?

  • oscarthesausagedog on 31/08/2017 - 20:23

    I'd be concerned about placing an order around the time a company closes and their obligation to fulfill it. Could it be a nightmare to chase them as they disappear of the radar. Given their terrible customer service in the past re Google reviews.

  • howdee on 01/09/2017 - 09:12

    Has anyone actually received a shipping confirmation email yet?

    • Coatesy on 01/09/2017 - 11:15

      I have already received my shoes. I ordered just a few hours before I posted.

      • garygaz on 01/09/2017 - 12:24

        hi coatesy where do you live? did you receive any confirmation apart from the 'thank you for your order' email?

        • Coatesy on 01/09/2017 - 12:44

          I live in Perth. I received two emails;one saying that that the order has been confirmed. It included a tax invoice. I also received a second email saying my order had been processed and they'd be sending it out that day.

          They aren't a large store, I imagine they are just getting through all the orders from Ozbargain.

        • garygaz on 01/09/2017 - 12:46

          @Coatesy: thanks a lot for the reply. yeah i suppose they probably saw a decent uptick in volumes and are working through it. will sit tightly and await a response!

        • Thieves on 01/09/2017 - 13:06

          @Coatesy: What details should a person have received after purchasing something from the store? As I haven't received any kind of confirmation email (checked my junk folder too), the only thing I've seen is the money being taken from my account.

  • hj0809 on 01/09/2017 - 10:06

    The site still has someone behind it. I emailed and someone replied. But the phone is unattended

    • Thieves on 01/09/2017 - 11:51

      By any chance did you ask when the items are likely to be shipped/arrive?

      I bought a pair of RM Williams though didn't receive any confirmation email or anything.

      • hj0809 on 01/09/2017 - 13:54

        They replied mine will be sent on Monday

  • garygaz on 01/09/2017 - 14:44

    hi all

    received an email suggesting there were more purchases than they had stock. said refunds will go out today, successful orders will go out monday.

    keep your fingers crossed, I guess

    • Code Blue on 04/09/2017 - 15:47

      I've just been refunded the full amount but didn't receive an email or anything about them not having enough stock.

      Guess their website may not have accurately reflected what they actually had in store at the time of purchase

      • zolinger on 04/09/2017 - 18:27

        I was only refunded $303. (missing the shipping fee.) Is there anyone else in the same position?

  • Icecold5000 on 01/09/2017 - 22:31

    Easy come easy go.

  • hj0809 on 04/09/2017 - 12:18

    Shipped

  • bs0 on 04/09/2017 - 16:17

    Anyone else got an update?

    • Icecold5000 on 04/09/2017 - 16:53

      Yes, They confirmed my order and gave me a tracking number. Also said that they had more orders than stock and all refunds went through on Friday. Based on this utterence if you havn't got a refund at this point your orde may have gone through.. Monitored my credit card and the 310 was hanging out for 5 days.

      • bs0 on 04/09/2017 - 17:02

        Awesome, guess I've just got to wait a little longer for the email

        • Icecold5000 on 04/09/2017 - 22:31

          Just email them, thats what I did.

  • hj0809 on 05/09/2017 - 18:27

    What’s the quality of the RM Williams you got? Mine is badly scuffed clearly a display shoe

    • Coatesy on 05/09/2017 - 19:24

      Sorry to hear that mate. My shoes arrived in perfect condition.

    • garygaz on 06/09/2017 - 09:16

      yeah sorry to hear as well. got macquarie classics that are in perfect condition. maybe consider refunding if you aren't happy?

  • do-ob on 14/09/2017 - 00:22

    They took more orders than they could fill. I got a refund cheque in the mail. :(
