Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We would like to clarify a few important points regarding our business model. We have never represented ourselves as an authorised Swarovski Optik dealer. All products sold through our store are 100% genuine and sourced through parallel import channels from other countries.

As parallel import products are outside the scope of the manufacturer's regional warranty network, we provide our own warranty covering the full duration equivalent to the manufacturer's warranty period. All warranty claims are handled directly by us, ensuring our customers receive full coverage and support.

Should you have any questions regarding a specific purchase, we welcome you to contact us directly at support@netstra.com.au

We'd like to set the record straight on a few points.

On the price: Our prices are lower because we operate as a parallel importer — sourcing genuine Minelab products through legitimate international channels. A lower price is not a red flag, it's the advantage of shopping outside the authorised dealer network.

On authorised seller status: We have never claimed to be an authorised Minelab dealer. Parallel importing of genuine goods is entirely lawful in Australia under the Trade Marks Act 1995. Minelab saying we're "not authorised" is simply confirming our business model — nothing more.

On our website copy: Fair point on the training wording — we've updated it to better reflect how our team builds product knowledge.

On warranty: Every product we sell carries a full Netstra warranty, backed by Australian Consumer Law statutory guarantees. These apply regardless of where you purchase.

On our ABN: A sole trader structure under an active ABN is a completely standard and legal way to operate in Australia. There is nothing unusual here.

We're sorry your WhatsApp questions weren't answered fully — that's not our standard. If you'd like to continue the conversation, we're at support@netstra.com.au.

Thank you for your comment — we'd like to address each claim directly so our customers have the full picture.

On "authorised dealer" status: Netstra has never claimed to be an authorised Minelab dealer, and we don't need to be. Parallel importing of genuine branded goods is perfectly legal in Australia under the Trade Marks Act 1995 and has been confirmed as such by Australian courts. We sell 100% genuine Minelab products — not counterfeits, not replicas.

On "intellectual property infringement": Reselling genuine goods does not constitute IP infringement. The exhaustion of rights doctrine applies here. If actual legal proceedings existed, they would not be announced via a Trustpilot review.

On GST: Netstra holds an active Australian Business Number (ABN). Anyone is welcome to verify this independently at abr.business.gov.au. This claim is simply incorrect.

On warranty: Every Minelab product we sell comes with a Netstra warranty. Under Australian Consumer Law, customers retain full statutory guarantees regardless of whether they purchase through an "authorised" channel or not.

We note this review was posted anonymously with no purchase verified, and reads more like a competitor action than a genuine customer concern. We encourage anyone with questions to contact us directly at support@netstra.com.au — our team is happy to answer any questions about product authenticity, warranty, or our business registration.

Thank you for the feedback — our customers deserve clarity, and we're happy to address this.

Netstra is not part of the STIHL authorised dealer network. What we offer is 100% genuine STIHL equipment through legitimate supply channels, at competitive prices.

Every product we sell is covered under Australian Consumer Law — the same statutory guarantees that protect customers regardless of where they buy. We handle all claims directly, so there's no runaround.

For customers who prefer purchasing within the brand's authorised service network, that's a valid choice. For those who want genuine equipment, strong consumer protections, and straightforward service — we're here.

Hi James,

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We always welcome constructive feedback, and we would like to address each point transparently, as there appears to be some confusion regarding our business structure.

1. ABN:
Our Australian Business Number (ABN) is clearly listed in our website’s Privacy Policy and is fully verifiable via the Australian Business Register (abr.business.gov.au).

2. ASIC Registration:
Netstra is registered as an Australian business (Business Name / Sole Trader), not as a proprietary limited company (Pty Ltd). ASIC regulates corporations and financial markets. Business name registration is managed through separate Australian government channels. We are fully compliant with all applicable regulations for our business structure.

3. Minelab Equipment:
We source all our Minelab products exclusively through authorised distribution partners, ensuring every item we sell is 100% genuine and covered under Australian Consumer Law. We are not a factory-direct outlet — this is standard practice for many independent Australian retailers and is disclosed transparently in our website footer.

4. Warehouse Address:
Our dispatch facility is a commercial storage shed located in regional South Australia. It is a legitimate operational premises used for inventory and logistics. Many small-to-medium Australian businesses utilise similar commercial shed and industrial facilities — this does not diminish the legitimacy of the operation in any way.

We operate with full transparency and are committed to providing genuine products and reliable service to our customers. If you have any further questions about our credentials, we encourage you to contact us directly at [support@netstra.com.au].

Kind regards,

The Netstra Team
