A charge from Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars will usually appear on your bank or card statement under a description such as “BLACKBURN LOCAL GROCER & CELLARS,” “SHIV TANTRA PTY LTD,” or a combination of the business and company name. This charge typically reflects an in‑store EFTPOS or card transaction for groceries, alcohol, cigarettes/tobacco, or other convenience items, and it is almost always a one‑time point‑of‑sale purchase rather than a subscription. You might see similar‑looking charges on a recurring basis if you shop there regularly, or you may see a small pending amount first (for example, when your bank places a temporary authorisation) that later updates to the final purchase total once the transaction settles.

If you have questions about a Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars charge, first compare the transaction date and amount with any receipts or bank notifications from that day, and think about whether you or a family member used your card at a local grocery or bottle shop in Rowville. Because this business does not appear to operate a detailed public website, the easiest way to contact them is usually via the phone number and opening hours listed on your receipt or on their Google Maps/online business directory listing; ask staff to look up the transaction using the last four digits of your card and the date/time. If you still don’t recognise the charge after speaking with the store, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction or request that they block your card in case of fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show SHIV TANTRA PTY LTD instead of Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars?

Shiv Tantra Pty Ltd is the legal company that operates Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars in Victoria, and that company name is what your bank receives when the card transaction is processed. Depending on your bank, the descriptor may show as SHIV TANTRA PTY LTD, BLACKBURN LOCAL GROCER & CELLARS, or a mix of both. If the date and amount line up with a time you visited a local grocery/liquor shop in Rowville, this is likely your in‑store purchase.([australiacheck.com](https://www.australiacheck.com/vic/shiv-tantra?utm_source=openai))

Does Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

No, Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars primarily processes one‑off in‑store purchases for groceries and packaged liquor, not subscription services. If you see regular charges for similar amounts (for example, weekly or fortnightly), it usually reflects your own repeated in‑person shopping, not an automatic subscription. If the pattern doesn’t match your spending, contact the store and then your bank to rule out card misuse.

What types of amounts or patterns are typical for Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars charges?

Typical charges correspond to your total checkout bill for groceries, drinks, alcohol, and other convenience items, and can range from small top‑ups (for example, a few dollars for snacks) to larger weekly shops. You might see rounded amounts if you pay for several items together, or non‑rounded totals that reflect mixed grocery and bottle‑shop purchases on the same receipt. Multiple visits on the same day will show as separate transactions, each with its own time stamp and amount.

Why do I see a small pending amount before the final Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars charge?

Some banks show an initial authorisation hold when you tap or insert your card, which can appear as a small or placeholder amount (for example, a few dollars) under the store’s name. Once the transaction is fully processed, that hold is replaced by the final purchase total and the initial pending amount disappears. If a small authorisation remains pending for more than a few business days, contact your bank to have it reviewed.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars purchase?

Visit the store with the card you used and details of the transaction (date, approximate time, and exact amount) and ask staff if they can reprint or look up the receipt from their point‑of‑sale system. Many small grocers can search recent transactions using the last four digits of your card and the transaction time. If you paid via a mobile wallet (such as Apple Pay or Google Wallet), you may also see a basic receipt in your wallet app showing the merchant name and amount.

How do refunds or returns work for Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars purchases?

Refunds and returns are generally handled in‑store according to the shop’s own policy and Australian consumer law. In most cases, you’ll need to bring the item and your original receipt back to the store; if they approve a refund, it will normally be processed back to the same card you used, rather than given as cash. Once processed, your bank may take a few business days to show the refund on your statement.

Who should I contact if I don’t recognise a Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars charge?

Start by calling or visiting the store using the contact details on your printed receipt or on its Google Maps/online directory listing, and ask them to confirm what was purchased on that date and card. If the store cannot find the transaction or confirms that the card details don’t match your card, immediately contact your bank or card issuer to report a potentially unauthorised transaction. Your bank can then investigate, issue a chargeback if appropriate, and cancel your card to prevent further charges.

Can a Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars charge be linked to a delivery or third‑party app order?

Yes, it’s possible that if you ordered groceries or alcohol delivery through a third‑party app, the underlying merchant name on your statement may still show the store’s registered trading or company name. In that case, check your order history inside the delivery app for the same date and amount. If the figures match, the Blackburn Local Grocer & Cellars charge is likely the store fulfilling that delivery order; if they don’t, contact both the app’s support team and your bank for clarification.
