The woman deposited the cheque to a bank on Caroline Springs Boulevard, Caroline Springs about 4.50pm.
The business delivered the products, but the cheque used for the purchase was cancelled by the bank as it was fraudulent.
Police have released images of a woman they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
