Battery and Prohibited Items

Does the Rabbit R2 contain lithium batteries? Yes, it features an integrated rechargeable cell. While this is common, international aviation safety rules require specific handling. You must ensure your chosen shipping method supports "Lithium Batteries Contained in Equipment." For a full list of what can and cannot be shipped, please review our prohibited items guide.

Bypassing purchase blocks with BuyForMe

Are you concerned about your Australian credit card being declined by the US Rabbit store? It is a common problem where major US retailers block international payment methods or orders destined for known freight forwarding facilities. This can lead to instant order cancellations and frustrating payment holds on your bank account.

The solution is our "BuyForMe" service. Instead of attempting the purchase yourself, you provide us with the product details, and we use a US-issued domestic credit card to buy the item on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your Rabbit R2 order is processed without a hitch. By acting as your proxy, we ensure the store sees a legitimate US transaction, eliminating the risk of automated flags.

Import regulations and local considerations

When shipping the Rabbit R2 to Australia in 2026, you must be aware of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). For items valued under AUD 1,000, GST is typically collected at the point of sale or by the carrier. However, if your total shipment value exceeds this threshold, additional customs duties may apply. Using a freight forwarder allows you to consolidate multiple purchases into one package, though you should monitor the total value to manage your tax exposure effectively. Always check the latest shipping fees and local tax updates before finalizing your export from the US.
