Shipping Rates
Shipping costs are determined by weight of your order:

11KG - 20KG = $35

This is only a fraction of what we get charged from freight companies (apparently it costs a lot to ship heavy weighted items … who would have thought?).
When will my order ship and when will it arrive?
Our logistics team works really hard to get your RUK gear to you as soon as possible.
You will receive tracking details via email and/or text once your order has been shipped from our Castle Hill NSW, Cheltenham VIC, or Malaga WA warehouse.
We fulfil orders during business hours and work to get all orders out within 1-2 business days of ordering (depending on order volumes).
Once it leaves our factory, it's the carrier and the distance of you from our warehouse that will dictate the shipping times, but 2-5 days from ordering to you is the norm.
How can I track my order?
Once your order is shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. You can use this tracking number on our website or the carrier's website to track your order's progress.

If your tracking states that the parcel has been delivered, please first check with your local post office (either by phone or dropping into the local shop) before contacting us. Alternatively call Australia Post or the Courier with your tracking number to acquire further information.
If an order is returned to us due to the goods not claimed within the courier's required time frame or an incorrect address provided, there are two options:

FAQs
How is the RUKSAK brick system different from weight plates?
Traditional weighted backpacks use metal plates, which limit you to fixed weight jumps. The RUKSAK uses Iron RUKBRIKS, allowing you to adjust your load in precise 1kg increments. This lets you increase gradually, maintain balance, and fine-tune intensity for walking, rucking, or workouts.
Can I use the RUKSAK as a 10kg weighted backpack?
Yes. Purchase the 15KG option then simply load ten 1kg RUKBRIKS in for a total of 10kg. You can start lighter and add weight over time (up to 15kg total), making it ideal for progressive training or shared use.
Is the RUKSAK comfortable for long walks or hikes?
Absolutely. It’s designed with 10mm EVA padding, double-padded straps, and a padded waistbelt to distribute weight evenly and reduce shoulder pressure on longer sessions.
What’s included in the RUKSAK Starter Pak?
You’ll receive the RUKSAK backpack, your choice of RUKBRIKS, a hydration pak, padded waistbelt, and rain cover — everything you need to start training with weight.
Can I travel or commute with the RUKSAK?
Yes. The RUKSAK doubles as a durable everyday backpack with a hidden valuables pocket and secure hydration mounting points.
