CBDistillery review — an Australian CBD Oil Alternative
CBDistillery is a US online CBD brand that ships within the US only. Here is the range, the Australian-import caveat, and an Australian alternative shipped across every state.
Short answer: CBDistillery is a US brand based in Colorado — it does not ship to Australia, and importing its products through a third-party reseller or mail-forwarder is a prohibited import under Australian Border Force rules. CBD products from overseas are subject to seizure at the Australian border without prior permission. For Australians wanting hemp-derived CBD oil from a domestic source — third-party tested, dispatched within Australia, no customs risk — CBD Oil Australia ships Australia-wide from an online CBD oil shop that describes every oil by composition.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Australia is a separate Australian shop selling its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not CBDistillery, is not affiliated with it, and is not connected to Balanced Health Botanicals. CBDistillery's own products are on its official site.
What CBDistillery is
CBDistillery is an American CBD brand launched in 2016 in Colorado, operating as part of Balanced Health Botanicals. It is one of the best-known CBD names in the US market, and its product catalogue has made it a widely searched term globally — including in Australia. The brand uses US-grown, non-GMO hemp and carries a broad range: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and isolate CBD oils; gummies, softgels and capsules; topicals; a pet range; isolate powder; and minor-cannabinoid products including CBG and CBN (typically as gummies or softgels rather than dedicated oils). In the US market, it also sells US-legal Delta-9 products.
From a composition standpoint, the range is genuinely wide. For Australian buyers, however, the composition is secondary to a more immediate question: can you actually receive these products here?
The shipping reality: US only
CBDistillery's store ships within the United States only. It does not offer international shipping to Australia through its own site. Some buyers search for third-party resellers or use US mail-forwarding services to attempt delivery — but this does not make the import legal.
Under Australian Border Force rules, CBD products are a prohibited import without prior permission. The personal importation scheme that covers some low-risk goods does not cover cannabis-derived products. A parcel containing CBD oil arriving from the US can be held or seized by ABF without any obligation to release it, regardless of the route it took to get there. That is a straightforward regulatory fact, not a commentary on the product's quality. The TGA website and ABF set out the import rules for controlled substances.
Spectrum comparison: CBDistillery range vs CBD Oil Australia
Setting aside the import issue for a moment, the spectrum and format comparison is useful for understanding the CBD landscape.
CBDistillery leads with full-spectrum and broad-spectrum oil tinctures, which mirrors the approach most dedicated CBD oil shoppers are used to. Full-spectrum keeps the whole-plant profile including a trace of THC; broad-spectrum removes the THC entirely. CBD Oil Australia follows the same structural logic.
Our full-spectrum CBD oil is whole-plant hemp with THC under 0.3%; our broad-spectrum CBD oil is the 0% THC version. Beyond those, we carry individual cannabinoid oils as their own lines: CBG oil for cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil for cannabinol — the minor cannabinoids CBDistillery offers mainly in edible form, we offer as dedicated oils. The pet CBD oil is formulated for animals rather than people.
Each CBD Oil Australia bottle is 50ml in a coconut-derived MCT carrier, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis available on request, from $69.00 AUD. Our oils are imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and then held for dispatch within Australia — so the supply chain is inbound, not outbound to a buyer trying to import from the US.
Why domestic sourcing matters for Australian buyers
The import issue makes the domestic-versus-US distinction more than a logistical preference. A CBD oil ordered from a domestic Australian shop arrives as a normal domestic parcel; a CBD oil ordered from or through a US supplier crosses an international border where it is a controlled substance. The practical differences:
- Customs risk: A domestic order has none. An overseas order crosses ABF-controlled borders.
- Delivery timeline: Domestic dispatch is measured in days, not weeks, and carries no border-clearance uncertainty.
- Price certainty: Domestic AUD pricing is what you pay. Overseas purchases carry exchange rates, potential brokerage fees, and the risk of a seized package with no refund route.
- Lab traceability: A domestic Australian shop's batch testing is directly verifiable on request. An overseas supplier's documentation, while potentially accurate, cannot be verified the same way by an Australian buyer.
For Australian CBD oil buyers, these aren't minor considerations. The how-to-use guide covers what to look for on a composition label once you have a domestic order in hand.
