Are you one of those people with a property that is hard to access, ie. you need a code for the gate or have killer dogs? Be sure to take note when booking your bin to fill in the delivery comments segment. This makes the supplier aware before delivery that it would be best that you’re either home when your bin is dropped off or you could inform your neighbour and they could assist.

Our suppliers are happy to work around your timetable so what are you waiting for? The right supplier is just a click away!

When booking a bin through www.bookabin.com.au we are unable to offer same day delivery. The reason for this is we want to ensure that your supplier is well aware of your order requirements and giving them an extra day to organise will only enhance your bin booking experience. This will also allow them to call you in advance should they have any queries regarding your order (such as any information left in the ‘Comments’ box during the order process).

At this stage we would like to encourage you to book your bin well in advance which will avoid any last minute rush from your suppliers side. We know that there’s only so many hours in a day and that circumstances change, so if you are thinking about booking a bin why not book it NOW and save the hassle of trying to find a supplier who can offer same day delivery.

Seeing as its Anzac Day this Friday and everyone ends up with a long weekend, why not be prepared for the next long weekend coming up and order a bin nice and early for the big clean up? It’s an ideal time to landscape that garden out back, remodel the old kitchen, carpet the family room or even help the neighbours with their work.

What do all of these home improvements have in common? You will be needing to schedule a bin hire…….and quite frankly, most of Australia will be doing the same. So here are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you don’t miss out like you may have this weekend:

• Order well in advance. First in is first served, and as long weekends are very busy times for bin hire suppliers, many will run out of stock. A good idea would be to get onto booking your bin hire a week or two in advance just to make sure you get your bin on the dates you require.

• Have your bin hire delivered a day in advance! To make sure your bin hire is nice and early, ready for you to use first thing in the morning (because you will be up and working first thing in the morning!), select your delivery date a day or two early. This way your bin hire isn’t one of many thousand being delivered by the supplier on the first day of the long weekend.

• Be sure to book a bin that is going to be big enough for your job. If you happen to finish early with a day or so to spare, you’ll probably end up finding other junk to throw away, so be sure not to get caught out with all that extra waste left behind.

With these little hints and tips you should be fine over the next long weekend and won’t miss the boat on your next bin hire.

Have a great ANZAC day and enjoy your weekend!

The BookaBin Team

Customers often contact us to find out what time their bin will be delivered, so they can plan out the rest of their day. The best way to find this out is to contact your supplier directly.

Supplier contact details are recorded on your Tax Invoice, which will be included in the email confirmation once you have booked your bin at www.bookabin.com.au.

When you place your online booking you will be able to indicate your specific delivery instructions to your supplier in the “Delivery Comments” box. This could be details such as:

• Where to place the bin
• Hazards to avoid
• If there will be anyone home on delivery
• The best time of day for delivery

If you have any special instructions, we also suggest you to talk directly to your supplier about these issues as they are the ones delivering your bin and want to provide you with the best service possible.

We have tried to make the customer experience with BookaBin.com.au as user friendly as possible while continually tweaking our interface to make it even easier. However it is not as simple as the user sees it, we have a lot of hidden complexity.

The steps as the customer sees it:

1. Enter postcode
2. Select waste type
3. Select bin size
4. Select delivery & pickup dates
5. Get the best price available
6. Enter your payment details

Now lets look behind the scenes:

1. BookaBin.com.au searches its database for all Suppliers that service your postcode
2. BookaBin.com.au then narrows this list down to Suppliers that will service your kind of waste
3. We then let you know what Bin Sizes we have available
4. Once you select the delivery & pickup dates we check to confirm that one will be available on those particular dates
5. Then we get you the best price available based on all your variables from our suppliers
6. Email confirmation is sent with your bin hire delivery details

Our algorithm is quite complex so we have simplified it a bit. However you can see that a lot goes on behind the scenes given that we provide thousands of quotes each and every week. Leave the tough stuff up to us and enjoy our quality service.
