Union Shopper can save you thousands
CEPU members are entitled to use a revolutionary new shopping plan that will save you hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. It's called Union Shopper.

It is very simple and works like this. First, you decide exactly what you want to buy. Take note of the make, model number, size and other important features. Also get your best price.

Then call Union Shopper on 1300 368 117.

You won't need to do much more from then on. Union Shopper staff will start hunting up the best price for you.

When they have it they'll call you back. Delivery can then be arranged to almost anywhere and is usually free.

Whether you want to buy a new or used car, a holiday, a fridge, stove, VCR or TV, Union Shopper can do it for you.
