Short answer: PeterMat ships rubber hex dumbbell pairs to every Australian state and territory, and to both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Delivery is free on orders over $75 AUD, orders under $75 pay a $9.95 flat rate, and every order is dispatched within 1-2 business days.
Where PeterMat dumbbells ship
There is no freight quote to wait for and no postcode surcharge added at the end. What changes with distance is the time in transit, not the price you paid at checkout.
- All states and territories: NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, NT and the ACT, metro and regional and remote addresses alike.
- New Zealand: North and South Islands, on the same free over $75 AUD threshold and the same $9.95 flat rate under it.
- One delivery price: the weight of the order does not change what delivery costs, only the order total does.
- Tracking on every order: a tracking number is emailed once your order ships.
What delivery costs on a single pair
Only two delivery prices exist: free over $75 and $9.95 under it. Dumbbell prices are per pair, so that line falls in the middle of the range. The 10kg pair at $79 and every heavier pair ships free on its own, while the six lighter pairs sit under $75 and attract the flat rate.
| Pair | Price | Delivery | Delivered total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (0.5kg) | $19 | $9.95 | $28.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (2kg) | $29 | $9.95 | $38.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (5kg) | $49 | $9.95 | $58.95 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (10kg) | $79 | Free | $79.00 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (15kg) | $109 | Free | $109.00 |
| Rubber Hex Dumbbell Pair (25kg) | $169 | Free | $169.00 |
Sitting just under the line is the one case worth doing the arithmetic on. The 2kg and 3kg pairs together come to $64 and still pay the $9.95, which is $73.95 delivered. Add the 0.5kg pair and the order is $83 with free delivery, so the third pair of dumbbells effectively costs $9.05.
Free delivery applies to any order over $75 AUD, in every Australian state and territory and to New Zealand. Under $75 is a flat $9.95.
How long delivery takes, by destination
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days, then the transit estimate below starts. These are estimates based on the carrier network rather than guaranteed dates, and they stretch in peak periods or when a carrier runs behind.
| Destination | Estimated transit | Plus dispatch | Realistic total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metro Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) | 3-5 business days | 1-2 business days | 4-7 business days |
| Regional Australia | 5-10 business days | 1-2 business days | 6-12 business days |
| Remote Australia | 7-14 business days | 1-2 business days | 8-16 business days |
| New Zealand (North and South Islands) | 7-14 business days | 1-2 business days | 8-16 business days |
Read the right hand column when you are planning around a date. A metro order placed on a Monday is realistically a 4 to 7 business day wait door to door, so the following week. A remote order is 8 to 16 business days, which can be three calendar weeks once weekends and a public holiday land in the middle of it. If the set is a birthday or Christmas present, order with that buffer in front of you rather than behind you.
What a full set costs delivered
Most people order two or three pairs rather than one, and almost any multi pair order clears $75, so the delivered cost is simply the price of the weights. Four common starting points and what they come to:
- Light, $86 delivered: the 1kg, 2kg and 3kg pairs. Enough spread for pressing, raises and rehab style work, and it clears the free delivery line by $11.
- Middle, $157 delivered: the 2kg, 5kg and 10kg pairs. The 5kg covers most rows and presses, the 10kg covers squats and carries.
- Heavier, $237 delivered: the 5kg, 10kg and 15kg pairs, for anyone already training with weights who wants room to progress.
- Weights plus floor, $128 delivered: the 5kg pair at $49 with the PeterMat Zero at $79, which puts a 14kg recycled rubber mat under the drop zone.
None of those four pays a cent of delivery. The only orders that pay the $9.95 are single light pairs and the smallest two pair combinations, which is worth knowing before you split a purchase across two orders.
How the pairs travel
A pair ships as a pair. The dumbbells are fixed one piece units with rubber coated hex heads and a chrome knurled handle, so there is no handle to unscrew, no collar to lose in transit and no loose plates knocking around inside the carton.
- Nothing to assemble: the pairs arrive ready to use, so no hardware can go missing between here and your street.
- Flat hex heads: six sided heads sit still rather than rolling, in the carton and on your floor afterwards.
- Rubber over the metal: the coating takes the knocks of a long run instead of the bare cast iron taking them.
- No moving parts: a fixed pair cannot shift out of balance or work itself loose over 14 days of handling.
Check the carton when it lands and keep the tracking email until you have. If anything has arrived damaged, email [email protected] with your order number and a photo, and read the returns page for the terms that apply.
Why rubber hex suits long freight runs
Chrome and bare cast iron chip where they land, and a dumbbell that has crossed the country has been handled more than one carried out of a car park. Rubber coated heads absorb the same knock without the finish flaking, which is the practical reason PeterMat only sells the rubber hex pairs.
- Finish: bare metal marks and rusts at the chip. Rubber takes the hit and keeps the head sealed.
- Noise: rubber heads are quieter when you set them down, which matters if you train above someone.
- Floors: the coating is kinder to timber and tiles than bare metal, though a mat is still the safer answer under a heavy pair.
- Storage: hex heads stay where you put them, so nothing rolls under the car in a garage gym.
The full comparison, including knurling and head shape, is in the rubber hex versus chrome guide.
Tracking, dispatch and what to do about delays
The tracking number is emailed when the order ships, not when you pay. The quiet first day or two is the dispatch window, so no tracking email on day one is normal rather than a problem.
- Place the order. Delivery is free over $75 or $9.95 under it, and it is calculated at checkout, not quoted later.
- Allow 1-2 business days for processing and dispatch.
- Watch for the tracking email, which arrives once the order is with the carrier.
- Use the transit estimate for your destination to work out the likely window, remembering these are business days.
- If the estimate has clearly passed, email [email protected] with your order number and the tracking number.

Regional, remote and New Zealand orders
A regional or remote address pays exactly the same delivery as an inner city one, so an order over $75 going to a property hours from the nearest town still ships free. The trade off is time rather than money: 5-10 business days regional and 7-14 remote, on top of the 1-2 day dispatch. If you are buying three pairs, ordering them together is one wait instead of three, which is the strongest argument for buying the whole set at once. There is more detail in the regional delivery guide.
New Zealand works the same way. Both islands are covered, free over $75 AUD, $9.95 under it, with a 7-14 business day transit estimate after dispatch and the same tracking email. Prices on the site are in AUD, so convert before you judge whether an order clears the $75 threshold.

$79Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver dumbbells to every part of Australia?
Yes. PeterMat ships to all Australian states and territories, including regional and remote addresses, plus the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Delivery is free on orders over $75 AUD and $9.95 flat under that, with no postcode surcharge. Transit estimates run 3-5 business days for metro Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, 5-10 for regional and 7-14 for remote.
How much does dumbbell delivery cost in Australia?
It is $9.95 flat on orders under $75 AUD and free on orders over $75. Because prices are per pair, the 10kg pair at $79 and every heavier pair ships free on its own, while single lighter pairs pay the flat rate. Heavier orders do not cost more to deliver, only the order total decides it.
How long will my dumbbells take to arrive?
Add the 1-2 business day dispatch window to the transit estimate for your area: 3-5 business days metro Australia, 5-10 regional, 7-14 remote and 7-14 to New Zealand. That makes a metro order roughly 4-7 business days door to door. These are estimates and can stretch in peak periods or with carrier delays.
Will I get a tracking number?
Yes. A tracking number is emailed once your order ships, which is 1-2 business days after you place it. If nothing has arrived by email after that window, contact [email protected] with your order number.
Is it more expensive to deliver heavy dumbbells?
No. Delivery is priced on the order total, not the weight, so a 25kg pair at $169 and a 10kg pair at $79 both ship free because both are over $75. The only orders that pay the $9.95 flat rate are those under $75, which means the lighter pairs bought on their own.
Do the dumbbells arrive assembled?
They arrive ready to use. Every pair is a fixed one piece rubber hex dumbbell with a chrome knurled handle, so there are no collars, spin locks or spare plates to fit and no tools required. Unbox them and start training.
