Third-party mounting solutions like those from SpaceTek Australia operate under their own policies, which can differ from Starlink's hardware warranty.

Basic Shipping, Returns, and Warranty: What to Expect When Buying Starlink Mounts in Australia terms:
Understanding Warranty Policies for Your Mount
Understanding your mount's warranty is as important as the warranty for the Starlink Kit. SpaceTek mounts and accessories come with their own dedicated 12-month warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship. We craft our mounts to withstand the harsh Australian climate, from scorching sun to powerful winds.
Our 12-month warranty is designed to give you confidence in your investment, aligning with the standard warranty periods for many consumer electronics and accessories in Australia, including those from Starlink.
Beyond our warranty, the Australian Consumer Law provides additional statutory protections, ensuring products are of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. For an overview of your rights, see the ACCC's guide to consumer guarantees.
Making a Warranty Claim: If you believe your SpaceTek mount has a defect, submit a detailed description via our SpaceTek Customer Support Portal. Please have your proof of purchase and any relevant photos ready to help us assess your claim efficiently.
Exclusions from Warranty: Our warranty does not cover failures from unauthorised modifications, incorrect installation, misuse, abuse, neglect, normal wear and tear, or acts of nature. We design our mounts to be "warranty-friendly," meaning they won't void your Starlink Kit's warranty when installed correctly.
The Returns Process: What to Do if a Mount Isn't Suitable
We understand that a product might not always be the right fit, which is why we offer a clear and hassle-free returns process. SpaceTek provides a 30-day return window from the date of purchase. If a mount is defective or unsuitable for your setup, you can return it for a full refund. This policy is similar to Starlink's own 30-day trial, offering you peace of mind.
How to Initiate a Return: Contact us through the SpaceTek Customer Portal with your order number, the item, and the reason for the return. This helps us process your request quickly.
Required Documentation: You will need to provide proof of purchase, such as your order confirmation or receipt, to help us verify your purchase.
Conditions for Return: To receive a full refund, the item must be returned in an undamaged, untampered, and unmodified condition with all original components and packaging where possible. If an item is defective, we will make allowances for its condition.
We believe in transparency and fairness. For more information, check out our guide on Starlink Shopping Down Under: Your Guide to Getting Connected.
Shipping: What to Expect When Ordering Starlink Mounts in Australia
Getting your mount to you quickly is a top priority. We know you're keen to get your Starlink system optimised.
Shipping Costs: Costs are calculated at checkout based on order size, weight, and destination. While Starlink often charges a flat rate for its kits, our pricing varies to reflect the specific materials of our high-quality mounts.
Delivery Times: Our standard delivery estimates are:
- Metro Areas: 3-7 business days
- Regional Areas: 5-10 business days
Please note these are estimates and can be affected by your location and courier delays.
Coverage and Tracking: We ship across Australia, from cities to the outback. Express options may be available for an additional fee. Once your order is dispatched, you'll receive a tracking number to monitor its journey.

Mounts & Policies for Starlink Gen 2
The Starlink Gen 2 "Dishy" (the rectangular version) has been a game-changer for many Australians. If you're using a Gen 2 dish, the right mount is crucial for optimal performance.
Our SpaceTek mounts for the Gen 2 dish are specifically designed to complement its capabilities and withstand Australia's unique environmental challenges. These mounts are crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant aluminium, ensuring they can handle the elements without corroding or failing. This is particularly important for a dish that has an IP54 weather resilience rating.
Our 12-month warranty covers our Gen 2 compatible mounts against material defects and workmanship. Furthermore, our mounts are engineered to integrate seamlessly with your Gen 2 Starlink Kit, without interfering with its functionality or potentially voiding its own warranty when installed correctly.
A popular choice for many Gen 2 users is our mast adapter, which allows you to easily attach your rectangular Dishy to an existing pole or mast.
You can explore our Mast Adapter for Dishy Rectangle Gen 2 to see how it can improve your setup. For more insights, read Find the Right Fit: SpaceTek Australia's 5 Mounts for Gen 2 Standard Actuated. We also invite you to Explore our Gen 2 collection.
Mounts & Policies for Starlink Gen 3 and Mini
The latest Starlink Gen 3 (V4) and Starlink Mini hardware offer new possibilities, and our mounts are designed to match.
The Starlink Gen 3 (V4) dish is larger, manually aligned, and has an IP67 weather rating. Our mounts provide the stability and elevation needed for its 110-degree field of view.
The portable Starlink Mini is designed for pole mounting, making it perfect for users on the go.
For both models, our mounts are crafted from high-grade, rust-proof aluminium to withstand Australian climates. Our 12-month warranty applies, covering manufacturing defects.
Consider our Starlink Gen 3 (V4) Standard Mobility Mount or the Starlink Mini Basic In-Motion Mount for robust, Australian-engineered solutions.

On the Move? Shipping, Returns, and Warranty for RV and Portability Mounts
For those embracing the RV and caravanning lifestyle, a reliable and durable mount is essential. Our SpaceTek RV and portability mounts are designed for Australian travel, prioritising durability, light weight, and ease of use.
We offer solutions like carbon fibre telescopic mounts, which provide excellent strength-to-weight ratio and adjustable height, and suction cup mounts for quick, temporary setups. Our standard shipping, returns, and 12-month warranty policies apply to these mounts.
Warranty Considerations for Mobile Use: It's crucial to be aware of Starlink's own policies. Using a standard Starlink Kit on a moving vehicle (unless it's a designated in-motion service) can void its warranty. While our mounts provide a stable and secure platform, tested for wind speeds up to 115 km/h, users are responsible for adhering to Starlink's service terms for in-motion use.
For a deeper understanding of what to look for in a mobile setup, read our guide on Starlink RV Mounts: What to Consider When You're Always on the Move. And don't forget to Explore our RV and Portability collection for all your on-the-go connectivity needs.
Conclusion: Making a Confident Purchase
Making a confident purchase comes down to understanding the policies that protect you. At SpaceTek Australia, our clear shipping process, 30-day return window, and 12-month warranty are designed to give you peace of mind. We offer dedicated mounts for Gen 2, Gen 3, Starlink Mini, and RV/portability setups, ensuring you have the right gear for your needs.
However, the best mount is only effective with correct installation, which is crucial for optimal performance and the longevity of your Starlink system. A poorly secured dish can lead to poor performance or even failure. That's why we engineer every SpaceTek mount to be secure, user-friendly, and compatible with Starlink's self-installer approach.
Our mounts are crafted from high-quality, rust-resistant materials like marine-grade aluminium, built to withstand harsh Australian conditions. This commitment ensures your investment is protected, whether you're at home or on the road.
