I find a gentle hit with a heat gun or hair dryer works well for these stickers.
neb: Whichever cretin at Bunnings decided that every single piece of pine moulding, trim, dressed timber, and other stuff all had to have huge impossible-to-remove white stickers on them.
Prevents shoplifting.
MadEngineer: Would a product like label strip damage or stain the wood?
Problem with labels I’ve found is that even if you specify “removable” they’re still very sticky and hard to remove. Seems as if, if they’re left on the product for too long they become permanent.
Yup, the adhesive soaks into the wood and leaves a permanent layer of gunk embedded in it. I haven't tried a heat gun (as per the previous post) because I suspect it'd just make this even worse.

Prevents buying you mean. There's no way you can use these if the timber will be exposed rather than painted (which kinda defeats the point of stuff like D4S, may as well use MDF) because they leave permanent marks on the timber.
I saw someone trying to buy some fence fittings that they had clearly put some different barcodes on stickers onto them once. The counter was refusing to sell it to them saying that it was a mistake and they were getting quite agitated with the staff.
People try all sorts of stuff on there with that.

The checkout scan shows what the item is that they're buying so obvious swaps on timber should be detected if the cashier is at least slightly awake, and nonobvious ones, swapping to a close-enough item to pass muster, which for timber are typically only a dollar or two away from the original, are (a) barely worth the effort and (b) not exactly a huge loss if someone does try it.
On top of that, when you buy something non-stickered from the trade section the checking seems to be barely there, it seems to rely mostly on the honesty of the customer, "I've paid for this at the trade desk".
networkn:I've found Bunnings excellent for accepting feedback like this. I recommend contacting them and giving constructive feedback via their website.
That would be this feedback page?
(To save people clicking on the link, it's a big expanse of blank white with a spinner on it).
Anyone have a direct email address for their customer support?

Too many questions but not a blank spinner page.
You get the spinner if JavaScript is disabled (or another issue prevents the script from loading). Poor design, but very common these days.

Yeah, tried it on three different browsers and got the same thing each time. Maybe it's the firewall blocking some dodgy domain in an iframe, let me have a look.
