Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Orders & Shipping
When will my order be dispatched?
Orders placed before 1:00 pm (AEST/AEDT) on business days are dispatched the same day, provided stock is available. Orders placed after 1:00 pm, on weekends, or on public holidays will be dispatched on the following business day. Dispatch times may vary during peak periods or for oversized items.
Where do STM products ship from?
All orders are processed and dispatched locally from our Australian warehouse network to ensure fast nationwide delivery.
Product Returns
What is your return policy?
To be eligible for a return, products must be unused, in their original condition, and in a resalable state. All returns must be formally approved by STM prior to sending any items back. Handling or administration fees may apply where applicable.
Who pays for return shipping?
Return freight is paid at the customer's expense unless the item is confirmed to be faulty or incorrectly supplied by STM. If a return is approved due to a manufacturing defect or an order error on our part, reasonable return freight costs will be reimbursed.
How do I initiate a return?
Contact our customer support team with your order number and details regarding the item you wish to return. If approved, you will be issued return instructions and authorization.
