Hi does anyone know if it is fine to purchase an item online from an AU retailer when you aren't in Australia, then pick it up on a trip to Australia and claim the TRS? Ie do they check the purchase date is while you were in country?
I assume this is fine and they just check the date of purchase is within 60days of travel date, but wanted to check if anyone had experience.
Thanks
TRS on Item Purchased When Not in AU

Correct, as long as it meets all the criterias required for a GST refund as outlined here.
It does not matter if you've purchased it while out of the country. If you've purchased it from an AU retailer, have the appropriate receipt for it with your name and depart within 60 days of the purchase date, as listed on your invoice, then you can claim as normal.
