Shipping policy

At White Wattle, we work hard to process and dispatch orders as quickly as possible. Our product range includes both products fulfilled from Australia and specialist equipment and consumables shipped directly from our manufacturer in China. Delivery timeframes therefore vary depending on the products ordered.

Please read the information below carefully before placing your order. All prices and shipping charges displayed on the White Wattle website are in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION – MACHINES & MATCHING CONSUMABLES

Magnet-making machines and their matching consumables are shipped directly from our manufacturer in China. Please allow approximately 6–8 weeks for delivery. This timeframe is an estimate and may be affected by international freight, customs, carrier schedules and other circumstances outside White Wattle's control.
Machines & Matching Consumables – Please Read Before Ordering

Magnet-making machines and their matching consumables are shipped directly from our manufacturer in China and have an estimated delivery timeframe of approximately 6–8 weeks.

These products do not ship from White Wattle in Australia.

We process and submit orders to our manufacturer as quickly as possible. However, because these products are travelling internationally, delivery may be affected by international freight schedules, customs processing, carrier delays, port congestion, logistics disruptions, weather events and other circumstances outside White Wattle's direct control.

Please allow approximately 6–8 weeks for delivery of machines and their matching consumables shipped directly from our Chinese manufacturer.

The 6–8 week timeframe is an estimated delivery timeframe and is not a guaranteed delivery date. Orders may occasionally arrive sooner or take longer depending on international shipping conditions.

By placing an order for these products, customers acknowledge that the product is being shipped directly from our manufacturer in China and that the estimated delivery timeframe is approximately 6–8 weeks.

White Wattle will always process orders promptly and provide reasonable assistance with tracking and shipping enquiries. However, once an order has entered the international freight network, White Wattle cannot control or expedite the carrier's delivery timeframe.

Processing Times

Products stocked and fulfilled directly by White Wattle in Australia are generally processed within 1–5 business days.

Our 3D Printed Frames are printed to order and may require additional preparation time depending on the size of your order.

Orders are not normally processed or dispatched on weekends or Australian public holidays.

During periods of high order volume, promotions or new product releases, processing may take slightly longer.

Please note that the standard 1–5 business day processing timeframe does not mean that machines and matching consumables will be delivered within this period. Machines and matching consumables are shipped directly from our manufacturer in China and have an estimated delivery timeframe of approximately 6–8 weeks.

Australian Shipping

Shipping within Australia is charged at a flat rate of AUD $19.95 for orders containing 3D Printed Frames, unless otherwise stated at checkout.

Free shipping is available on eligible Australian orders over AUD $350.00.

Delivery times for locally fulfilled products vary depending on destination and carrier.

Machines and matching consumables are excluded from standard Australian delivery estimates because they are shipped directly from our manufacturer in China. Please allow approximately 6–8 weeks for delivery of these products.

New Zealand Shipping

White Wattle ships to customers throughout New Zealand.

New Zealand shipping is charged at a flat rate of AUD $39.99 per order, unless otherwise stated at checkout.

For products dispatched by White Wattle from Australia, please allow approximately 10–28 days for delivery after dispatch.

This timeframe is an estimate only. Customs processing, carrier delays, weather, peak shipping periods and regional or rural delivery locations may affect international delivery times.

Machines and matching consumables are shipped directly from our manufacturer in China and have an estimated delivery timeframe of approximately 6–8 weeks. The standard 10–28 day New Zealand delivery estimate does not apply to these products.

All charges on the White Wattle website are displayed in Australian Dollars (AUD). The amount charged in New Zealand Dollars will depend on the exchange rate and any conversion fees applied by your payment provider.

Orders Containing Multiple Product Types

If your order contains products fulfilled by White Wattle in Australia together with machines or matching consumables fulfilled by our manufacturer in China, your order may arrive in multiple separate shipments.

Receiving one part of your order does not necessarily mean that the remainder has been omitted.

Machines and matching consumables shipped directly from our Chinese manufacturer may take approximately 6–8 weeks for delivery.

Please Inspect Your Order Within 14 Days

We strongly ask all customers to open, inspect and check their order within 14 days of delivery.

When your order arrives, please check that:

  • all products and components ordered have been received;
  • the correct items and quantities have been supplied;
  • there is no visible damage from transit;
  • machines, cutters and other equipment appear to be in good condition; and
  • where reasonably practicable, equipment is assembled or tested promptly so that any apparent issue can be identified.

If you discover transit damage, missing components, an incorrect item or another issue apparent on delivery, please contact White Wattle as soon as possible, preferably within 14 days of receiving your order.

Where possible, please retain the shipping carton, internal packaging and shipping label and provide photographs or video showing the condition of the parcel and product.

Reporting delivery-related issues promptly gives us the best opportunity to establish what has occurred and seek assistance from the manufacturer or carrier.

This 14-day inspection request does not exclude, restrict or replace any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable consumer law.

Faulty Products & Product Assessment

If you believe a product is faulty, please contact White Wattle with your order details and a description of the issue.

Depending on the nature of the issue, we may request photographs, video, troubleshooting information or return of the product so that the reported fault can be properly assessed.

White Wattle reserves the right to reasonably assess a product and the circumstances of the reported problem before determining the appropriate remedy.

A product will not necessarily be considered faulty where a problem has resulted from misuse, accidental damage, incorrect assembly or operation, failure to follow supplied instructions, unauthorised modification, normal wear and tear or another circumstance for which White Wattle is not legally responsible.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits rights available under applicable consumer law.

Shipment Confirmation & Tracking

Tracking information will be provided where available once your order has been dispatched and tracking details have been issued.

Tracking may take some time to become active after a shipment is lodged.

For machines and matching consumables shipped directly from our manufacturer in China, tracking and carrier updates may differ from standard Australian domestic shipping and may not update at every stage of the international journey.

Please remember that machines and their matching consumables have an estimated delivery timeframe of approximately 6–8 weeks.

International Freight Delays

White Wattle processes orders as quickly as reasonably possible.

Once an internationally shipped order has entered the freight network, delivery may be affected by circumstances outside our direct control, including customs clearance, carrier delays, flight or vessel availability, port congestion, weather events, industrial action and international logistics disruptions.

We will provide reasonable assistance where an order appears to be delayed.

Machines and matching consumables shipped directly from our manufacturer in China should be expected to take approximately 6–8 weeks for delivery. This timeframe is an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery date.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

International orders may be subject to customs duties, taxes, import fees or other charges imposed by the destination country.

Unless specifically stated otherwise at checkout, customs duties, taxes, import charges and other destination-country fees are the responsibility of the customer.

White Wattle does not control these charges and cannot guarantee whether additional fees will apply.

Incorrect or Incomplete Addresses

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address when ordering.

White Wattle is not responsible for delays or additional shipping costs caused by incorrect or incomplete delivery information supplied by the customer, to the extent permitted by law.

If an order is returned because of an incorrect address, failed delivery or non-collection, additional shipping charges may apply before the order can be resent.

Damaged or Missing Deliveries

If your parcel arrives visibly damaged or you discover that items are missing from your delivery, please contact White Wattle promptly.

We strongly recommend that all orders are opened and inspected within 14 days of delivery so that shipping damage, missing components or fulfilment errors can be identified as soon as possible.

Please retain the packaging, shipping label and affected products and provide photographs where possible.

We will assist with enquiries to the carrier or our manufacturer where appropriate.

This inspection request does not affect any rights available under applicable consumer law.

International Shipping

White Wattle currently offers standard international shipping to New Zealand.

Machines and matching consumables sold to Australian and New Zealand customers may be fulfilled and shipped directly by our manufacturer in China, with an estimated delivery timeframe of approximately 6–8 weeks.

We do not currently offer standard website shipping to other international destinations unless specifically arranged.

Returns, Refunds & Consumer Guarantees

Please refer to our Returns & Refund Policy for further information about returns, refunds and faulty products.

Nothing in this Shipping & Delivery Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.
