Frequently asked questions
1 Our regular parcel service delivers in an estimated 2+ business days. Delivery times will vary depending on lodgement and destination points. View delivery speeds and coverage for sending within Australia.
2 Next business day delivery is only available within the Express Post next business day delivery network. The national next business day delivery network operates between capital cities (excluding Darwin; and for Perth, delivery into the CBD only) and some major centres. Express eParcel is not covered in the Express Post guarantee.
3 For parcels where you use your own packaging or any other packaging, which is not eligible for the national flat rates for postage based on size, Australia Post will assess charges according to the actual weight or cubic weight equivalent of the parcel, whichever is greater.
