Shipping & FAQs

Everything you need to know, in one place. Can't find an answer? Email orders@miningmayhem.com.au and we will get back to you within 24 to 48 hours.

Shipping

Do you ship for free?

Yes. We ship every order free across Australia, New Zealand and the United States. No minimums. No surprises at checkout.

The only exception is a small number of heavy items (ride-on construction toys and oversized 1:24 scale crates) where freight has to be quoted at checkout. These are clearly flagged on the product page.

How long will my order take?

Die-cast, RC and bundles: dispatch 1 to 2 business days. Delivery 3 to 7 days within Australia, 5 to 10 days within the US.

Apparel (T-shirts and hoodies): allow 6 to 12 business days from order to delivery (AU and US).

Sticker packs: dispatch 1 to 3 business days from Burleigh, delivery 3 to 7 days. Australia only.

Where do you ship?

Die-cast models, RC machinery and bundles ship to Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Apparel ships to Australia and the United States. Sticker packs ship within Australia only.

How do I track my order?

You will get a confirmation email when you place your order, then a tracking link as soon as your parcel ships. Click the tracking number to follow it to your door.

My tracking hasn't updated. What do I do?

Hold tight for a few days. Carriers sometimes scan parcels at depots rather than at every stop. If your tracking shows no movement for more than 7 business days within Australia (or 14 days for international), email orders@miningmayhem.com.au with your order number and we will follow it up with the carrier.

Can I change my shipping address after ordering?

If we haven't dispatched yet, yes. Email orders@miningmayhem.com.au with your order number and the new address as fast as you can. Once a parcel is in the carrier network we can no longer change the address.

Why do apparel orders take a few extra days?

Our apparel takes a few extra business days to prepare and dispatch. The wait keeps the range fresh with current designs. We ship as fast as we can.

Returns & Refunds

How do I return something?

Visit our step-by-step Returns Process page for the easy version, or read the full Returns & Refunds Policy for the legal detail.

Die-cast, RC and bundles: 30 days from delivery. Item must be unopened in original packaging and in resaleable condition. Return postage is at your cost.

US Customers

Do you ship to the US?

Yes. We ship die-cast models, RC, bundles and apparel to the United States. Sticker packs are Australia only.

Can I return from the US?

Apparel & Sizing

How do I find my size?

Each apparel product page has a sizing guide with chest, length and sleeve measurements. Measure a favourite shirt that fits you well and compare to the chart.

We cannot accept change-of-mind returns on apparel, so take a minute on the sizing chart before you order.

Are the shirts unisex?

Our standard t-shirt and hoodie cuts are unisex sizing (S through 5XL). The sizing chart on each product page shows the actual measurements so you can pick by fit, not just letter.

How do I care for my Mining Mayhem apparel?

Wash cold, inside out, with similar colours. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. No bleach, no ironing directly on the print. Treated right, the print stays sharp for years.

Models & RC

Are these official CAT licensed?

Yes. All our CAT die-cast and RC machinery is officially licensed by Caterpillar and made by approved manufacturers (Diecast Masters, Classic Construction Models, Norscot, BELAZ Toys and others).

What's the scale?

Most of our models are 1:50 scale (the collector standard for CAT). We also stock 1:87 (smaller display pieces), 1:64, 1:35 RC and a few 1:24 RC giants. Scale is listed in every product title and description.

Are these display models or toys?

Most are detailed collector display models, not designed for rough play. Articulated parts, opening hoods, working tracks. RC machinery is operable. Each product page notes whether the item is suitable for kids.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

All major cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX), Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Afterpay / Zip for eligible orders.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. Payments are processed by Shopify Payments and Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Do you have a wholesale program?

Yes, for genuine retailers and trade buyers. Email wholesale@miningmayhem.com.au with your ABN and a bit about your business and we will send through the wholesale terms.
