One of the most frustrating things about shopping at Kmart is that the most popular products (think the $5 Scandi shoe rack; $8 knot cushion and $29 marble side table) often sell-out quickly.
But there is one little-known Kmart service that’s a game-changer, and it’s called Raincheck.
If an item has sold out, you will find a notice in place of the price tag advising customers to “see a team member for assistance” on a raincheck.

A Kmart spokeswoman confirmed the raincheck hack to news.com.au.
“At Kmart, we strive to ensure our products are easily accessible for our customers, to support their everyday needs,” the spokeswoman said.

“Sometimes when there is particularly strong demand for a product, it may sell out in stores. “When this occurs with advertised products during a promotional period, customers are able to request a raincheck, meaning they will be contacted when more stock becomes available in store, or alternatively, they will be offered a substitute item if no future stock is expected.”
Customers can call Kmart’s customer service team on 1800 124 125 for further assistance.
