Sending parcels overseas

International sending cut-off dates vary depending on destination and the chosen delivery service. Search by country below to find our recommended dates. Parcels sent after these dates will be delivered as quickly as possible, but they may not arrive until after Christmas.

Please note: These dates are correct at time of publishing and are subject to change. Overseas deliveries may be affected by factors that are beyond our control such as customs delays and overseas postal disruptions – so it’s best to send as early as you can. As always, we remain committed to keeping you updated on any external impacts that may affect our services. To stay updated see our international updates.

Items sent from South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory must travel interstate before departing Australia. You can factor this in by adding 2 business days for Express items, and 5 business days for Standard and Economy items.

All estimates are for sending between metro destinations - items sent to and from regional and rural locations will likely take longer.
