Where do I find my member number?

Your member number is printed on the flysheet that arrives with the Lion Magazine. Alternatively, your Club Secretary will be able to look this up in the LCI member database.

Lioness members who are not also a Lion will need to enter the member number "Lioness".

 

I don't have a credit card, can I still place an order using the Online Shop?

If the order is for your Club, then you can still place it online and select "On Account" as the payment method. An invoice will be sent to the Club with the goods.

If the order is for yourself, then you can still place it online and select either:

  • Cheque - mail a cheque to the National Office quoting your order number (payment discounts do not apply)
  • Bank Transfer - process a bank transfer the same day using the order number as the reference (payment discounts still apply where applicable)

 

Some of the prices have changed?

The item I require is out of stock, can I still place the order?

How do I order more than one New Member kit?

When adding the item to your cart, there is a mandatory text field and an optional text field to record the new member details and induction date. For system design reasons, these 2 boxes are limited to 32 characters. Generally this is enough space to enter the details for 2 new members in a single shopping cart line.

If you are inducting 8 new members, for example, simple repeat the Add To Cart process multiple times in the same order.

  

Why can't I order spare New Member Kits?

New Member Certificates are stamped with the details of the International President current at the time of induction. This means that any pre-stamped certificate stock would become obsolete at each change is President. For this reason, the details are only added at the time of order.

LCI requires Club Supplies to only provided Kits for the exact number of New Members about to be inducted to ensure certificates presented display current information.

 

How do I apply a promotional coupon/code?

On occasion, a promotional offer will be available, and a code will be provided if applicable. A Coupon Code will need to be entered during checkout for this discount to apply.

 

Why have freight prices and the freight free threshold increased?

The standard flat shipping fee had not changed for 5 years, however during time Australia Post have increase parcel post charges annually. A review of the Australia Post rates and service delivery options have led to the increase.

A flat fee is used so that regional areas are not disadvantaged.
