UMart Online is an Australian computer store chain headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland. The company was founded in June 2000[1] and in 2002 was recognised as one of Australia's most popular computer retailers by PC User magazine.[2]. In 2009 Umart Online opened a store in Melbourne, Victoria – its first store outside of Queensland.
UMart focuses on moving large quantities of goods and for that reason sells primarily products that have a lot of demand and high turnover; they primarily sell computer hardware, software, and some consumer electronics products. Online ordering is encouraged, with competitive discounts (usually to the sum of AU$10) offered on every products' recommended retail price for making a purchase via the Internet store.[3]
UMart Online was involved in a legal battle with Sydney based umart.net.au, which was forced to change its name to IJK (www.ijk.com.au) as a result of losing the case in court.[citation needed]
