Who is Blacknet.net.au?
Blacknet.net.au is an Australian based official importer and reseller of Blacknets. We buy these portable basketball nets in bulk from Blacknet.net and resell them locally. This reduces the costs of shipping individual units from Canada. This also means we can sell them locally at a reasonable price. In addition, we can provide local support to our fellow Blacknet users. We were initially just huge fans of the product but people kept asking us about our Blacknet. In the end we decided to start Blacknet.net.au.
How do you ship the Blacknet portable basketball net to me?
We use several shipping options to get your Blacknet out to you as quickly as possible. If you’re in central Sydney we often deliver them ourselves straight to your door. (It’s always fun meeting our fellow Blacknet users!) Additionally, we use Australia Post to ship to the rest of Australia. We also to ship to most other countries worldwide. We also used to use Sendle but in early 2026 they stopped providing services to the Australian market.
When we ship via Australia Post or another 3rd party we always use a rigid, custom-size cardboard box. This ensures the Blacknet arrives in pristine condition. Unfortunately this isn’t the case with those poor quality counterfeit options you may have seen being sold elsewhere. These counterfeit products are made with lightweight, fragile plastic. They also use thin, low quality nets. Moreover, they often squash the product into a smaller package to reduce its overall volume to save on shipping fees. This results in an out of shape and ill-fitting product that just won’t last.
Put simply; if it’s not being sold by an official Blacknet importer, it’s not a legitimate Blacknet.
What do I get in the box?
You get the Blacknet itself as well as some spare net clips. If you buy two or more Blacknets we might also throw in some merch! You also get access to the instructional comic book featuring street-ball legend X-Facta. X-Facta tells you all you need to know about the operation and care of your Blacknet.
The Blacknet uses two types of clips. Firstly, the net clips hold the Blacknet net onto the Blacknet ring. Spare net clips are provided to replace ones that may come loose or break after extended use. Chances are you’ll never need to use them, but they are provided just in case!
Secondly, a flat clip is affixed to the bottom of the net to temporarily hold your basketball to the Blacknet net whilst shooting the Blacknet into the basketball hoop. This flat clip is identical to a small rounded cable tie. The Blacknet designer and manufacturer in Canada deemed this to be the most reliable method of securing the ball and net together whilst also allowing it to come free once the Blacknet was positioned on the basketball hoop. The net can be twisted around the flat clip twice if the single twist shown in the comic and Blacknet video isn’t sufficient. Contact Blacknet Australia for further details if required.
Can I pickup my Blacknet portable basketball net from you in Sydney?
Local pickups from our Pyrmont depot can be arranged. Please select the Local Pickup option during checkout. We will be in touch to confirm a pickup date and time.
Why do Blacknets cost less on Blacknet.net?
The primary reason for the price difference between the Canadian Blacknet.net site and the Australian Blacknet.net.au site is the exorbitant international shipping costs for an item of this unusual size and weight. The current (Oct 2025) shipping cost for one Blacknet from Canada to Australia is between $112 & $157! This makes the total cost between $190 and $235! Unfortunately the Canadian Blacknet.net site has completely sold out of all stock. So the only place to buy a genuine Blacknet is from Blacknet.net.au.
Whilst shipping Blacknets in bulk reduces this cost per item, we do still have to incorporate the expense into our local price. We also have to account for import duties, GST and exchange rates. We’ve been working hard to minimise our bulk shipping costs to ensure buying from the Australian site is significantly better-priced overall than anywhere else!
What is your Refund and Returns policy? Can I return my Blacknet to you?
Our Refund and Returns policy is available on our website here. The checkout process also asks you to review and accept these terms. In short, yes you can return your Blacknet to us if required.
