Short answer: Dumbbell delivery from PeterMat costs $0 on orders over $75 AUD and $9.95 flat on orders under $75. Those two prices apply to every Australian state and territory and to both New Zealand islands, with no per kilogram surcharge and no extra charge for the heavy pairs.
What dumbbell delivery costs
So the only figure that decides your freight cost is your cart total. Four of the ten dumbbell pairs clear $75 on their own and ship free. The six pairs from 0.5kg to 5kg sit under $75, and on their own they carry the $9.95.
The threshold is order value, never weight
The delivery charge is set by what your order is worth, not by what it weighs. A 25kg pair at $169 ships free. A 0.5kg pair at $19 costs $9.95 to send, because $19 is under the threshold. The lighter order is the one that pays.
- Over $75: delivery is $0, to Australia and New Zealand.
- Under $75: $9.95 flat, whatever is in the cart and however much it weighs.
- Weight: no effect on the charge. A 14kg rubber mat and a 0.5kg pair are treated identically.
- Destination: no effect either. Metro, regional, remote and New Zealand all use the same two prices.
The wording is over $75, so build your cart past that figure rather than trying to land exactly on it. Three or four dollars of headroom costs less than the flat rate you are trying to avoid.
Every dumbbell pair and whether it ships free on its own
| Dumbbell pair | Price | Free on its own | Delivered total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (0.5kg) | $19 | No | $28.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (1kg) | $22 | No | $31.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (2kg) | $29 | No | $38.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (3kg) | $35 | No | $44.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (4kg) | $42 | No | $51.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (5kg) | $49 | No | $58.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (10kg) | $79 | Yes | $79 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (15kg) | $109 | Yes | $109 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (20kg) | $139 | Yes | $139 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (25kg) | $169 | Yes | $169 |
The delivered total column is the pair price plus $9.95 wherever the flat rate applies. The 10kg pair at $79 is the cheapest single pair that clears the threshold, which is why it is the pair most people order on its own.
The 5kg pair at $49 is the closest call on the list: $26 short of free delivery, and $58.95 delivered on its own.
The cheapest way to get a two pair set delivered free
Almost any two pair combination clears $75, so free delivery usually costs you nothing more than buying the second pair you already wanted. Run through the light pairs and the cheapest free cart is the 3kg at $35 plus the 4kg at $42, which is $77.
| Two pair combination | Cart total | Delivery | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3kg ($35) + 4kg ($42) | $77 | Free | $77 |
| 2kg ($29) + 5kg ($49) | $78 | Free | $78 |
| 3kg ($35) + 5kg ($49) | $84 | Free | $84 |
| 4kg ($42) + 5kg ($49) | $91 | Free | $91 |
| 1kg ($22) + 5kg ($49) | $71 | $9.95 | $80.95 |
| 0.5kg ($19) + 5kg ($49) | $68 | $9.95 | $77.95 |
The bottom two rows are the ones to avoid. A $71 cart plus $9.95 comes to $80.95, which is $2.95 more than the $78 cart that ships free and hands you a 2kg pair instead of a 1kg pair. Any cart sitting between $60 and $75 is worth a second look before you pay the flat rate.
Cheap ways to top a light order over $75
If one light pair is genuinely all you want, the $9.95 is the sensible answer and you should pay it. The arithmetic only turns in your favour when you are within about $30 of the threshold and there is something on the list you would use.
- Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (0.5kg), $19: the cheapest item in the weights range, and useful for rotator cuff and rehab work.
- Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (1kg), $22: the next step up, and $22 added to a $55 cart puts you at $77.
- Massage Ball Set (3-Pack), $25: foot and glute release, and it stores in a drawer.
- Resistance Bands Set (5-Pack), $29: covers the pulling and banded work that one light pair cannot.
- Foam Roller (45cm), $39: the biggest single jump, worth it only if a roller was already on your list.
Do the sum before you add anything. Spending $25 to save $9.95 leaves you $15.05 down unless you actually want the $25 item, and that is the mistake the free delivery threshold is designed to encourage.
What the two prices cover
The $0 and the $9.95 are the entire delivery charge on your order. They cover the carrier moving your parcel to your address and the tracking number emailed to you when the order ships.
- Every state and territory: same two prices, with no remote area surcharge added at checkout.
- New Zealand, both islands: same two prices, and orders over $75 AUD are free in the same way.
- Tracking: emailed at dispatch, included in both prices.
- Speed: not something you can buy up. There is one delivery service, so paying more does not move your estimate.
Timing is priced into neither figure because it does not vary by what you pay. Dispatch runs 1-2 business days, then 3-5 business days to metro Australia, 5-10 to regional, and 7-14 to remote Australia or New Zealand. The worked timing is in how long dumbbell delivery takes.
New Zealand orders and the AUD threshold
New Zealand delivery is priced identically to Australian delivery: free over $75 AUD and $9.95 flat under it, to both the North and South Islands. Prices on the site are in Australian dollars, so what lands on your card depends on the exchange rate your own bank applies.
Because the threshold is set in AUD, a New Zealand cart has to clear $75 Australian rather than $75 New Zealand. The two pair maths in the table above still works, and the 10kg pair at $79 remains the cheapest single pair that gets you over the line without a second item.
Working out your delivered total before you pay
- Add the pairs you want and read the cart subtotal.
- If the subtotal is over $75, delivery is $0 and the subtotal is your total.
- If the subtotal is under $75, add $9.95 to get your delivered total.
- Compare that delivered total against the cheapest addition that would take the cart past $75, then pick whichever number is lower.
- Check the delivery address before you pay, because a wrong address costs far more in waiting than $9.95.
The full delivery policy is on the shipping page and the returns terms are on the returns page. If something about a charge on your order does not add up, email [email protected] with your order number and it can be checked against what you were quoted.

$29Frequently Asked Questions
How much does dumbbell delivery cost in Australia?
Delivery is free on orders over $75 AUD and $9.95 flat on orders under $75. Those prices cover every Australian state and territory with no weight surcharge, so a 25kg pair at $169 ships free while a 0.5kg pair at $19 carries the $9.95.
Which dumbbell pairs ship free on their own?
Four of the ten: the 10kg at $79, the 15kg at $109, the 20kg at $139 and the 25kg at $169. Every pair from 0.5kg to 5kg is priced under $75, so on its own each one carries the $9.95 flat rate.
What is the cheapest way to get two dumbbell pairs delivered free?
The 3kg pair at $35 plus the 4kg pair at $42 comes to $77, which clears the $75 threshold and ships free. The next cheapest free cart is the 2kg pair at $29 plus the 5kg pair at $49 at $78.
Do heavy dumbbells cost more to deliver?
No. The charge is set by order value rather than weight, so the 25kg pair at $169 ships free while a 1kg pair at $22 costs $9.95 to send. There is no per kilogram freight surcharge at any weight.
Is delivery free to regional and remote Australia?
Yes, on orders over $75. The $0 over $75 and $9.95 under $75 prices apply to every Australian state and territory, including remote addresses. Only the delivery estimate changes with destination, not what you pay for freight.
Does free delivery over $75 apply to New Zealand?
Yes. Orders over $75 AUD ship free to both the North and South Islands, and orders under $75 AUD are $9.95 flat. Prices are quoted in Australian dollars, so your bank's exchange rate decides the amount charged to your card.
Is it worth adding an item to avoid the $9.95 delivery fee?
Only when you want the item. A $71 cart plus $9.95 costs $80.95, so adding a $19 pair to reach $90 costs $9.05 more and gets you an extra pair of dumbbells for it. If nothing on the list appeals, pay the flat rate and move on.
