If it's small enough to fit, you can post your parcel in any yellow street-posting box. Alternatively, take your parcel into an Australia Post retail outlet.

Please check posting times at your nearest retail outlet or the street-posting box to ensure you can receive next-day delivery* within the Express Post network.

Important note: Do not post in a red street-posting box, as this will delay your delivery and void the Next Business Day Guarantee.

Tracking your Express Post item

Visit our track tool and enter the tracking number (Article ID) found on the barcode of your satchel or receipt^.

If the sender has opted you in to our free Track Advice service, you may also receive email notifications regarding the progress of your parcel.

* Delivery is guaranteed to occur the next business day only within the Express Post network and when lodged over the counter or in a yellow street posting box. Express Post still offers the fastest possible service if posted outside the network.
