Negative ions, absorbing water and improving air quality are three of the top health benefits talked about with pink salt lamps.

In addition, we often have customers tell us how they reduce allergy symptoms, improve their energy levels and help in purifying the air in their home.

You can read more about the negatively charged ions in the air and how they improve mood here.

In particular, you may love the lamps for your home as a night light for the natural soft light sources it provides.

Our goal is to find the lowest price postage but also the fastest. That is our priority.

We ship your salt lamps Australia wide

As we choose from 3-4 courier options, the postage costs are pretty low, and we can post your salt lamps Australia wide.

Your postage costs for your salt lamps are calculated on checkout automatically

  1. When you place an order and enter your postal address, our postage calculator will give you an exact price on postage. You will know immediately before you have to pay for your order.
  2. We DO NOT charge a 'handling' fee on your order. Whatever the postage quote is, we pass that on to you. We will always be transparent with our postage quote.
  3. You then accept and pay, and your item will be shipped the next morning.
  4. For those in major cities, postage is at best the next day and for most others, you will receive your order within 2-3 business days.

Remember, all Himalayan rock salt lamps are less than 5kgs in size and so postage is excellent when shipping this weight. You can also buy several and postage works out very competitive.

When all is said and done, it is important to consider the postage rates when it comes to buying your Himalayan rock salt lamps.

Included in your purchase you will receive a light bulb inside and a power cord as you will see when you click on more product information.

What about sites offering free shipping?

Now, you may come across companies who offer free shipping with the Himalayan rock salt lamps.

Try not to fall into this trap because you're paying for this one way or the other.

Bottom line is shipping is a hard cost none of us can 'get out of' so to speak. It will be factored into the price one way or the other. Either the retail price is $10 more, or it is added at checkout.

Should I buy salt lamps at a shopping centre?

Now, some of you may have the opportunity to purchase from a retail outlet in a shopping centre. Nearby us, there's a big shopping centre, and they have rock salt lamps. But they only stock the small ones. You will never find the larger size salt lamps in the local shopping centres or chemists.

The reason why you would not want to buy them from a shopping centre or a retail outlet is they put a significant markup on.

If you shop around, you'll find they sell it for at least $10 more than what you see here at Earth Inspired Gifts.

You can see in the image below, a price chart from a local shopping centre in Sydney. We've written up a post on the best price for Himalayan salt lamps which is well worth reading.

Save $10, $15 or $40 immediately

They realise they're going to save $10, $15 or maybe even as much as $40 depending on the weight of the salt lamp.

As a result, they give us a call or jump online here and get their salt lamp shipped out quickly, saving them money. We have no doubt we have the best place to buy Himalayan salt lamps in 2024.

Double check what base your salt lamp comes on before buying

The quality of the base your rock salt lamp is made on does make a big difference. Many are on an inferior wooden base.

If your salt lamp sweats and it is on a wooden base, it will leave a residue, and it is not nice.

A leaking salt lamp is similar to when you have a cold drink, and you let it sweat, but you don't have a coaster. If it is on a wooden table, you will know it leaves a mark and discolours the wood. A salt lamp on a wooden base is exactly like that.

Should I buy a real Himalayan salt lamp on a marble base?

The other type of base available is a marble base and, to be honest, they're okay but not fantastic. We noticed they are selling natural Himalayan salt lamps on a steel base but only in America. We believe it defeats the purpose of the natural feel and benefits of Himalayan salt lamps.

How to buy a salt lamp on the best base

All of our Himalayan salt lamps are earth-inspired gifts. As a result, they come on an onyx crystal base.

These are beautiful bases. It doesn't make any difference from a health point of view. They are just much more beautiful, simple as that.

When you are looking for the best place to buy a salt lamp, stick with the onyx base. Every single one is unique and beautiful.

Click play on the video below to see the difference in the quality of the bases from wood to marble to onyx.

Every single one of our salt lamp bases is a crystal, so they're beautiful in presentation. They're much shinier, and they're much more appealing.

It's sort of like buying a real diamond ring versus a zirconia. They sort of look similar, but one is way more attractive. Buying crystal salt lamps on an Onyx crystal base is like buying the diamond ring version. You deserve the best.

When you have a look around for the base, just have a look at the video on our page above to see the different styles of salt lamp bases. Notice how different the finish is?
