Returns & Refunds

Magnetic fields can be dangerous to ship, and hence we need to ensure all our parcels leave with a near-zero magnetic field. Whilst this can increase the cost, it is a necessary arrangement for safe delivery.

Where possible, we aim to process and dispatch all orders within 48 hours of receipt. Once your order has left our warehouse it is then in the able hands of our shipping providers. We do not guarantee shipping times as these are outside of our control. Please give ample consideration for public holidays and any transport or postage interruptions that may affect the speed of delivery. If we anticipate a delay in the delivery of your order, we will inform you as soon as possible.

Please note that most of our packages will not fit in a letterbox and require a signature upon delivery.

How long until my magnets arrive?

Here are the average shipping times for locations within Australia. For small orders, we generally use Australia Post Express or Registered Post. For larger, heavier orders, TNT Road Express is our preferred courier.

Why does shipping cost so much?

Because we can't ship a package that has a magnetic field.

We know that our shipping costs are high given to the size of our products, but it's for good reason. Magnetic fields can interfere with processing equipment and with aircraft, and hence we must ensure that every parcel that leaves our warehouse has a near-zero magnetic field. This is incredibly difficult, especially considering that some of our smallest magnets are incredibly strong. We do this both for security reasons and to ensure that your parcel actually arrives. If we shipped products with magnetic fields we would not only be risking security, but your parcel would either be rejected for dispatch or would attach itself to a wall somewhere and never arrive!

We're always looking for cheaper shipping methods, and we promise to always pass the discounts onto you. Thanks for your understanding.

At Aussie Magnets, we guarantee our customers the best quality magnetic components for industrial, commercial, scientific and engineering purposes.

Our products are carefully inspected to ensure they are free from manufacturing defects and meet our very high quality standards, and are always re-checked prior to shipment.

The magnetic properties of our items can be vastly altered or diminished through rough handling, temperature variations, drilling, cutting, exposure to other materials, etc. At Aussie Magnets, our products are carefully protected and stored in a climate-controlled environment, and we diligently pack every order to ensure it arrives at its end destination safely and securely.

Once an order is in your hands, we can no longer guarantee our clients that a specific scientific measurement or quality of an item has been maintained. To this end, we cannot accept the return of items.

In the unlikely event that a product is faulty, you may return the item to Aussie Magnets for testing. If the item fails our quality tests, you have the option of a repair, replacement or full refund. Aussie Magnets reserves the right to reject any refund claim at its discretion.
