Premium Quality Comes First
When you purchase a TubTreasures bath mat, you’re buying more than just a bathroom accessory; you’re investing in a product that’s been carefully designed, tested, and produced with the highest standards in mind.
Unlike cheaper alternatives, our mats are made from 100% natural diatomaceous earth, crafted under strict quality control. We work with the best manufacturers and suppliers available, which naturally raises production costs. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our promise is simple: we only deliver products that we would proudly use in our own homes.
Behind the Price Tag: The Hidden Costs
It’s easy to see the $79.99 AUD price and assume most of it is profit. The reality, however, is very different. Here’s a closer look at what goes into bringing a TubTreasures bath mat to your home:
Product Costs: Premium materials and top-tier manufacturing ensure durability, safety, and a luxurious finish.
Transport & Import Fees: Getting products from the production facility to Australia involves significant shipping and customs charges.
Storage: Once in Australia, our mats are stored safely, ready for fast delivery.
Amazon FBA Fees: Selling through Amazon means using their fulfillment centers. Amazon charges storage and distribution fees to ship products quickly and reliably to customers.
Marketing & Advertising: To reach new customers, we invest in ads on Amazon and beyond.
Operational Costs: From maintaining our website to paying staff, these small but necessary expenses add up.
Once all these costs are deducted, the margin that remains is modest: just enough to sustain our small business and plan for growth.
Why Amazon, and What’s Next
Amazon Australia is currently our main sales channel. It gives us access to a wide audience and ensures fast, reliable delivery for our customers. However, Amazon’s convenience comes at a cost. Their FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) fees are substantial, and while they allow us to focus on product quality and customer service, they also limit our profitability.
Our long-term vision is to develop our own distribution system. By handling logistics independently, we can reduce fees, invest more into product development, and pass some of those savings on to you. This transition, however, is a long process. As a new, small company, we don’t yet have the negotiation power or infrastructure to make it happen overnight. But step by step, we’re building toward it.
Luxury That’s Built to Last
Another reason behind the $79.99 AUD price is longevity. A TubTreasures diatomaceous earth bath mat lasts far longer than a traditional fabric mat. Instead of replacing damp, smelly mats every few months, our mat remains functional and elegant with simple maintenance. Over time, that makes it a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice.
Sustainability Is Never Cheap
We are deeply committed to sustainability. From choosing biodegradable materials to aiming for more responsible production methods in the future, every decision we make balances luxury with environmental responsibility. True sustainability often requires higher upfront costs, whether in sourcing, certification, or production standards. By supporting TubTreasures, you’re helping us grow toward a future where sustainable luxury bathroom essentials are the norm, not the exception.
A Small Business With Big Goals
At the heart of TubTreasures is a simple truth: we are still a young company. Unlike big corporations, we don’t have the leverage to negotiate ultra-low manufacturing rates or shipping discounts. Every cent we earn is reinvested into improving our products, developing new sustainable bathroom essentials, and building a brand that can stand the test of time.
Our ultimate goal? To expand our range beyond bath mats, introducing luxury soap dispensers, sustainable bath textiles, and more while keeping quality and sustainability at the core.
Final Thoughts: Why Our Price Is Fair
The $79.99 AUD price of our bath mat reflects the real costs of delivering luxury, sustainability, and reliability in one product. From premium materials to high operational expenses, every element contributes to the final price. And while our profit margins are slim, we wouldn’t want it any other way.
Because at TubTreasures, we’re not here to cut corners, we’re here to set a new standard for what bathroom essentials can and should be.
By choosing TubTreasures, you’re not only investing in a product that transforms your bathroom routine. At the same time you’re supporting a small business dedicated to sustainable growth, innovation, and premium craftsmanship.
