odysseus replied to  Roujuzi on Further 40% off All Sale Items @ Peter Alexander e.g. $5.40 Baby Blanket / Beanie and Booties Gift Pack + Free Shipping
No. Happened last time as well. Seems they only cater for 100 visitors a day or some other unrealistic number.

"You local store may have some or none." Won't have none. As a catalogue item, each store is required to get some.

Probably China, though it's not a good sign that they can't even say where it's made.

If you change discount/special flight tickets there will be a fee involved, often significant.

They only recently spent some millions upgrading the airport facilities at Bendigo to enable this service. It wasn't suitable before.
