Shipping Questions
Who Are Our Shipping Providers ?
Tangem Wallet Australia partners with Australia Post and StarShipIT.
All domestic Australian orders are shipped using a premium eParcel business service, express post with signature on delivery, and insurance for fast and reliable shipping. At checkout, you will be informed whether the shipping is Next-Business-Day or Express Post. Generally, most postcodes receive next-business-day delivery, while parts of WA and NT may take 2-4 days for express post.
International orders use the same service and are delivered by your local postal services. Express post to New Zealand takes approximately 7-11 business days.
We provide full tracking and status email notifications for all orders. All orders are securely packaged in tamper-proof padded mailers for your peace of mind.
What Is Our Same-Day Shipping Policy ?
Our same-day shipping guarantee applies to paid and approved orders placed before 3 PM AEST from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. In some cases, we may need to verify high-value or suspicious orders. If this unlikely scenario occurs, we will promptly reach out via email with our simple process.
What Order Update Emails Should I Expect ?
After placing an order, you will receive an 'order confirmation email' followed by an 'order completion email.' The order completion email includes your PDF tax invoice and is sent from orders@tangemaustralia.com.au.
If your order was placed before our same-day shipping cut-off time, you can expect to receive your consignment tracking shortly after, typically before 3 pm AEST.
Additionally, we will send two more emails to your designated email address:
1. When your consignment is onboard for delivery that day.
2. When your consignment has been delivered.
These emails, along with your tracking information, are sent from noreply@tangemaustralia.com.au.
If you miss an email, please check your email client's junk or spam folders and consider searching for emails from the above addresses.
If you haven't received your order completion email or tax invoice by the end of the business day, please get in touch. Be sure to include your order number.
What to Know About Our Shipping Terms ?
While we offer automatic address correction services using Google APIs, you as the customer are entirely responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping details. If no one is available to receive your eParcel, it will be redirected to your local post office (LPO) for collection. You must collect it within 7 business days, and a photo ID will be required. If you suspect a failed delivery, you must contact our team within 1-2 business days. Please be aware that we only offer one free shipping attempt. Please note we only ship it free once.
How Do We Handle Failed Deliveries ?
Failed deliveries that are not the fault of Tangem Australia or Australia Post will be returned to our office. If your parcel is marked "Return to Sender" (RTS) by Australia Post and we cannot contact you, your purchase will be automatically refunded, minus our combined shipping and payment processing charges. Although it's not something we prefer to do, we reserve the right to charge an administrative fee of 5% of the value of your order in such cases.
Can I Opt for Authority to Leave ?
No, we do not offer the option for safe drop or authority to leave on any of our shipments. All our parcels ship with signature-on-delivery (SOD) and include insurance against loss. Although this adds extra expense for us, it enhances security for both you and us, providing the best delivery experience and peace of mind. If no one is available to receive your delivery, you will be notified with a card, and your item will be redirected to your local Australia Post office (LPO) for collection.
How Do I Address a Delivery Issue ?
If you suspect a failed or delayed delivery, please notify our team within 72 hours after the expected delivery date. Keep in mind that most of our deliveries arrive the next business day.
If you believe your order may be lost in transit (LIT), let our team know so we can initiate an Australia Post enquiry. If Australia Post concludes that the delivery is LIT, we will either send a replacement or, at our discretion, offer a full refund.
How We Handle Unclaimed Mail ?
You are entirely responsible for collecting any mail redirected to your local Australia Post office (LPO). Unclaimed mail will be returned to the sender (RTS) according to Australia Post guidelines, usually within 7-10 business days.

Other Questions
Which Traditional Exchanges we do recommend ?
Many of us have had positive experiences with btcmarkets.net and coinspot.com.au, both of which are based in Australia. Independent Reserve is another reputable option. We recommend these Australian exchanges because they offer a good selection of respectable coins and tokens with reasonable buying, selling, and deposit fees. Additionally, they provide local customer support.
We currently do not have any affiliations with either of our recommendations. While we suggest these exchanges, we cannot vouch for the trustworthiness of their operators. Always do your own research (DYOR). Regardless of the operators' intentions, online exchanges are high-profile targets for hackers.
