Quick Order Fulfilment of Leading Brands
Insight combines advanced information systems and a strong distributor relationship to provide you with quick access and delivery.
We have access to a number of manufacturer and distributor warehouses with hundreds of thousands of software and IT products. When you place an order, our system identifies the appropriate product and often will 'drop ship' it directly from one of our manufacturer or distributor warehouses. This ensures that you receive products quickly and helps to keep our cost of doing business very low.
Personalised Account Service
Insight's Account Managers all complete rigorous training at Insight University. You get a relationship-orientated professional who helps you save time and money. What's more, our award-winning operational system provides updated product information, account history, order and shipping status.
Award Winning Online Shopping
As you move around our site, you'll see why our global eCommerce website has won awards for Best Place to Purchase online from Computer Shopper, PC/Computing and Internet Shopper. Check out the "Power Search" for pricing and availability, unadvertised specials and more.
Insight (NSIT)
Insight is a publicly-traded company on the NASDAQ/NMS. We have built a secure financial foundation to serve you today and far into the future.
Volume Pricing and Licensing
If your organisation has access to a software volume licensing agreement and would like online access to pricing that rewards your buying behaviour, Insight is ideally placed to service this agreement via its sophisticated online calculators that take into account monthly pro-ration, nuanced pricing structures and purchasing standards.
Additional Volume Pricing Agreements make it easy for companies to conduct business with Insight. Based on purchasing volumes, corporate customers and Insight agree on a cost plus pricing structure per product category. The agreed pricing is then entered into Insight's proprietary information system. Once the customer's specialized pricing is established within Insight's system, sales executives and authorised corporate users have instant access to it.
- This allows more time to be spent on strategic issues with customers, as quoting becomes instantaneous.
- If pricing needs to be negotiated further, Insight's system is flexible enough to allow for manual overrides.
- Special manufacturer pricing agreements can be accessed from all locations via your Insight online account.

Searching
When I search for products by keyword sometimes I get completely unrelated results.
Results for a keyword search are, by default, ordered by "Best Match" to prominently show the products that have the most relevance for an entered keyword. Sometimes keywords are ambiguous, or are relevant across multiple categories, leading the results to appear unrelated, when they are the most relevant for the keyword entered. Since results can be cross-category – meaning they consist of products from a number of different categories – products related by category, or other criteria, can be easily selected and displayed by clicking on a narrowing option.
I clicked on an option to narrow my result and now I don't have any options left.
You will only see options if your results can be further narrowed. As you make selections to narrow the results, the "Narrow By" options change and may be reduced depending upon the type of product selected and the number of products available for a given option. You can remove any of the options by clicking the red "x" next to the option, to re-filter the results and receive additional narrowing options.
How can I change an option after I have selected it?
Changing an option is as easy as clicking on the "x" next to the option in the "Bread Crumb Trail" (the hyperlinked trail in the upper portion of the search result) and selecting a different option in the left hand column.
Shopping
How do I compare products?
au.insight.com allows you to compare products in two different ways. You can set up your own custom comparison list or let us do the work for you and use our "compare similar" feature.
Your Custom Comparison List: You can reach your custom comparison list by clicking on the Product Compare link in the footer. Additionally, you can add items to this list from any search results page using the checkbox to the left of each product. Once boxes have been checked, click the "add to compare list" link or for a quick comparison, click the "compare selected items" link.
Compare Similar: From the product search results page or product details page, you can select the "compare similar" link. The system will return the most similar products available online for you to begin your comparison.
What is a shopping cart?
A shopping cart is a term for the items a client chooses to buy and is stored until the payment transaction is completed. Just like tangible shopping carts, you the client have the ability to add, retrieve, and remove items from your shopping cart.

Will the items I placed in my shopping cart be priced the same if I retrieve the cart at a later date?
Due to special prices, sales, and promotions, the items you saved in your shopping cart will not necessarily remain the same price if you retrieve the cart at a later date. However, you will see what the current prices of your items are when you retrieve your Saved Cart.
What is Quick Shop?

Shipping Information
How can I find out what my exact shipping charges will be?
Insight Asia Pacific charges a flat rate shipping fee for domestic shipping. Additional international shipping charges may vary based on delivery location; you will be informed of any additional charges prior to shipment. (When you place an order, our EDI system identifies the appropriate product and often will 'drop ship' it directly from one of our manufacturer or distributor warehouses. This ensures that you receive products quickly and helps to reduce shipping costs.)
When will my order ship (assuming the product is in stock)?
Insight will endeavour to process orders as soon as possible after their receipt.
Web orders placed on Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays will not be processed until the next business day.
Will my order be delivered on weekends or holidays or will it be delivered during the week?
Physical shipments are delivered Monday through Friday. They are not delivered on weekends or public holidays. The required number of days for delivery is the number of business days plus processing time.
