Shipping policy
At Beyond Tools, we take pride in delivering a premium experience from order to delivery. As a family-run, independently owned specialist store, we work hard to ensure your tools and machinery arrive safely, securely and as quickly as possible.

Collect in Store or Delivery?
Customers may choose:
- Free in-store collection from our Malaga, WA showroom

Authority to Leave
If you request Authority To Leave (ATL) during checkout, you accept responsibility for the parcel once the carrier confirms delivery at the nominated address.
By selecting ATL:
- Beyond Tools is not responsible for loss, theft or damage after delivery confirmation
- Delivery will be considered complete once the carrier records the parcel as delivered
- Claims for non-delivery may not be accepted where proof of delivery has been supplied by the carrier

- Freight requirements
International Shipping, Duties & Taxes
International orders may incur:
- Duties
- Taxes

If You Are Asked To Pay Duties or Taxes Again

Once payment has been made, please contact our team with:

We will work with our shipping and customs partners to investigate and attempt to recover the duplicated charges where possible.
