Collection Point
The Social Hub Media Group
9–13 King Street, Emerald QLD 4720, Australia
How the collection system works A customer places one order and selects local pickup. Each vendor prepares their item separately and delivers it to the collection point. Orders are held until everything in the order has arrived. The customer is then notified that their full order is ready for collection.
Pickup instructions for customers

Copy this text into your pickup instructions field in the dashboard:

"Collect your order from The Social Hub Media Group Collection Point, 9–13 King Street, Emerald. You will receive a notification once your full order is ready for collection."
