Express Post

When you are sending urgent items you need a delivery service you can rely on. Express Post is a simple and cost-effective express delivery service with a range of product options designed to meet your everyday business needs.

Service features

• Guaranteed next business day delivery within the Express Post networks*
• Proof of posting for the 5kg satchel and Express Post parcels when lodged over the post office counter. This is especially important if you're a seller using the PayPal online payment gateway to ensure that you qualify for PayPal seller protection.

• Track events available for viewing online (where available.)^

With multiple lodgement options, you can choose to:

• simply drop your prepaid envelope or satchel into one of over 800 gold Express Post street posting boxes^#
• lodge your Express Post item over the counter of one of our 4,400 retail outlets
• organise a regular pick-up from your business premises by calling us on 13 11 18 (for Australia Post charge account customers only).

Buying prepaid Express Post items

Select Express Post envelopes and satchels are now available for purchase online through the Australia Post Shop. C5 and B4 envelopes and 500g and 3kg satchels are available in packs of 10, with bulk savings. Buy Express Post now.

You can also buy the full range of prepaid Express Post envelopes and satchels at any Australia Post retail outlet. All prices are inclusive of GST and you can save up to 10% when buying in bulk.

Dealing with emergencies

If your regular driver has already completed the daily pick-up and there's an urgent document to be delivered interstate the next business day, our gold street posting boxes extend your lodgement window to 6pm (earlier in Perth and some regional centres), giving you more time to finalise your important despatch. 

No hidden charges

The price we quote is all-inclusive. GST is included and there are no additional fuel or security surcharges, account keeping fees, or redirection charges. Using Express Post means you will not be hit with any unexpected charges at the end of the month.

Reliability

No other carrier has an independently measured, on-time delivery performance of over 99 per cent. If you need guaranteed next business day delivery, Express Post is the answer for your business.
