Every pair, 1kg to 25kg
The table lists each pair with its price per kilogram of total weight (both dumbbells) and example delivery charges to three metro areas. The cart shows the exact charge for your postcode.
| Pair | Price | Per kg | Sydney delivery | Melbourne delivery | Perth delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1kg pair | $12 | $6.00 | about $6.11 | about $9.16 | about $14.25 |
| 2kg pair | $23 | $5.75 | about $6.11 | about $10.18 | about $17.30 |
| 3kg pair | $35 | $5.83 | about $7.13 | about $12.21 | about $22.39 |
| 4kg pair | $46 | $5.75 | about $9.16 | about $14.25 | about $28.49 |
| 5kg pair | $48 | $4.80 | about $9.16 | about $14.25 | about $28.49 |
| 10kg pair | $114 | $5.70 | about $10.18 | about $23.40 | about $46.80 |
| 15kg pair | $170 | $5.67 | about $20.35 | about $29.51 | about $62.06 |
| 20kg pair | $176 | $4.40 | about $22.39 | about $35.61 | about $75.28 |
| 25kg pair | $284 | $5.68 | about $27.47 | about $38.66 | about $90.54 |
Brisbane charges match Melbourne for the 1kg to 10kg pairs and run a little higher for the 15kg, 20kg and 25kg pairs. Regional postcodes cost more than any of the metro figures above.
Cost per kilogram across the range
Per kilogram the 20kg pair is the cheapest in the range at $4.40, followed by the 5kg pair at $4.80. The 10kg, 15kg and 25kg pairs all sit between $5.67 and $5.70 per kilogram, and the 1kg pair is the most expensive per kilogram at $6.00.
- 20kg against 15kg: the 20kg pair is $176 and the 15kg pair is $170, so the extra 10kg of total weight costs $6. Delivery on the 20kg pair is also only about $2.04 more to metro Sydney.
- 5kg against 4kg: the 5kg pair is $48 and the 4kg pair is $46, and both cost the same to deliver in the freight table.
- Delivery shifts the sums: to metro Perth a 20kg pair delivered is about $251.28, which is about $6.28 per kilogram once delivery is counted.
Price per kilogram only matters for a weight you will use. A 20kg pair is a poor buy for someone who will press 5kg for the next six months.
Online against a trip to a store
- Delivery charge against the trip: online, delivery is a line in the cart. In store, the cost is the drive and the time.
- Carrying it home: a 20kg pair is about 40kg before packaging. Delivery takes it to your address, though the last few metres inside are usually yours.
- Seeing it first: online you cannot hold the handle before you buy. Rubber hex heads and chrome handles are a common format, so most people know what to expect.
- If something goes wrong: the process for a damaged or unwanted item is on the returns page. Read it before you order.
What you are buying
Each PeterMat dumbbell pair is two fixed dumbbells with rubber coated hex heads and chrome handles. Nothing adjusts, so changing weight means picking up a different pair. Hex heads sit flat on the floor and do not roll.
PeterMat does not make the dumbbells. Every product ships direct from Australian supplier warehouses, which is why delivery is worked out per item and from your postcode.
How to choose your first order
Pick weights by the exercises you will do, then check what delivery adds for your postcode. These totals add example metro delivery charges to the goods.
- New to weights: 2kg and 5kg pairs, $71 for the goods, about $86 delivered to Sydney or about $95 to Melbourne.
- Some training behind you: 5kg and 10kg pairs, $162 for the goods, about $181 to Sydney or about $200 to Brisbane.
- A wider range: 2kg, 5kg and 10kg pairs, $185 for the goods, about $210 to Sydney or about $239 to Adelaide.
- Already lifting: 10kg and 20kg pairs, $290 for the goods, about $323 to Sydney or about $349 to Melbourne.
Starting weights by exercise are covered in what size dumbbells to buy, and the case for one pair against several is in set or single pair.
When your order arrives
Dispatch usually happens within 1 to 3 business days, and metro delivery usually takes 2 to 7 business days after that. Regional and remote areas take longer. These are estimates, and peak periods can stretch them.
Heavy pairs are a two person or two trip job up stairs. Put any entry code, unit number or access note in the delivery instructions at checkout. A few items cannot be sent to remote postcodes, and the cart says so before you pay.
Mistakes that cost money when buying dumbbells online
- Buying a full ladder at once: 1kg to 5kg in five pairs is $164 for the goods, plus five delivery charges. Most people use two or three of those pairs.
- Ignoring delivery to your city: a 25kg pair is about $27.47 to send to metro Sydney and about $119.03 to metro Hobart. Check the cart before deciding on heavy pairs.
- Comparing per dumbbell and per pair prices: some stores price each dumbbell. PeterMat prices are per pair.
- Buying too light: a pair you outgrow in three weeks costs its price plus its delivery for very little training.
