Australia Post's Courier costs are mainly calculated based on several factors:
Express service type:
Express Post (Courier service) : Usually 1-3 business days delivery. If you use Express Post's pre-paid bags and boxes, for packages of 5kg or less, postage is calculated according to size rather than weight, and there are four sizes: small, medium, large and extra large, with prices of AUD 14.40, AUD 18.80, AUD 23.15 and AUD 30.45 respectively; For packages of up to 5 kg, postage is based on weight or volume weight (whichever is the greater) and destination. For packages of up to 500g, AUD 14.10, and for 500g to 1kg, AUD 18.50. It costs $22.75 for 1kg to 3kg and $29.95 for 3kg to 5kg. For packages between 5kg and 22kg, postage is also based on weight or volumetric weight and destination.
Standard mail: Suitable for non-urgent delivery, relatively low cost, delivery time is longer. The exact cost is based on factors such as the weight, size and destination of the package and can be checked through Australia Post's online calculator or at your local post office.
Package weight and size: If you do not use the uniform specification of surface mail packaging, for packages of 5 kg and below, the cost will be calculated according to the actual weight or volume weight (length × width × height ÷5000, the unit is cm), taking the larger value of the two; For packages over 5 kg to 22 kg, postage is also calculated based on weight or volumetric weight and destination. If using Express Post's surface mail packaging, packages of 5 kg and under are charged according to package size, regardless of weight.
The destination of the package: The cost of postage may vary in different parts of the country, and usually the further the distance, the higher the cost. If it is an international express, the cost will also be affected by the destination country or region, as well as customs policies, taxes and other factors in different countries will also have an impact on the total cost.
Additional Services: If you choose additional insurance services, you will need to pay the corresponding fee according to the insured amount to ensure compensation in case of loss or damage to the package; There are also additional fees for signature confirmation services.
