Customer Care

All Coles Supermarkets apply ‘Our Promise on Price Scanning’ to ensure confidence in the pricing accuracy at our registers.

All scanned merchandise in the store with a barcode or a PLU (Price Look Up) number.

Our Promise on Price Scanning goes above and beyond the requirements of the Australian Consumer Law which requires businesses to refund the difference between any overcharged amount and the correct price of the item.

Customer satisfaction is a number one priority for us. If a scanning issue is not resolved to your satisfaction at the store by the Store Manager or Supervisor, please contact Coles Customer Care on 1800 061 562 or send us your feedback via our feedback form.
 

• Items without a barcode or PLU number
• 3rd Party Gift Card products and Telco recharge vouchers
• Tobacco or Liquor products
• Items over $50
• When the wrong PLU number is entered

A scanning error occurs when an item has been scanned, or the correct PLU (Price Look Up) number entered, and a price higher than the advertised or ticketed price displays at the checkout or on the receipt.

If multiple, identical items scan at higher price than the advertised or ticketed shelf price, we will give you the first item FREE, and the remaining items at the advertised or ticketed shelf price.

If a single item scans at a higher price than the advertised or ticketed shelf price for that item, we will give you that item FREE.

Multi Buy – i.e. 2 for $3 - first item FREE and the second item at the correct promotional price ($1.50 each). Buy one, Get one Free/ Spend $30 – get %15 off – the promotion will be honoured; no free item will be offered.

Coles provides trolleys to its customers for their convenience and spends a significant amount on maintaining them each year, some of which is the cost of collecting trolleys that have been removed from our premises.

Abandoned trolleys are a nuisance to local communities and we are actively working to make this better across the nation, including regular collections of abandoned trolleys with vehicles on the road daily.

To assist in helping us manage trolley abandonment, members of the public can use the Coles app on their smartphones to report trolleys using GPS, or call 1800 876 553 (1800 TROLLEY) and we’ll collect them as soon as possible.

You can also report an abandoned trolley here.
