Your Australia Post tracking and support questions answered

How do I contact Australia Post? 

During eCommerce peak season or when it’s business as usual, knowing how to quickly get the Australia Post help and support you need can be crucial. Whether you’re tracking a customer’s parcel, enquiring about a return, want to recall an item or have another question, we want you to find an answer as quickly as possible.

Last year’s peak sending season was another bumper one for eCommerce retailers with 52 million parcels delivered, including 2.8 million on December 12 alone. Aussies shopped up a storm ahead of Christmas, resulting in the biggest December in Australian online shopping history.

With so much activity in our network, you’ll want to make sure you can get in contact with Australia Post if you need us, to keep your mail on the move.

Got a question? Here’s a roundup of some of the best ways to get in touch.

MyPost Business customer support 

If you’re a MyPost Business customer, there are plenty of ways to get the answers you need. In fact, MyPost Business has its own dedicated support team to help out. 

Start by logging into your MyPost Business Account, then you can use the Live Chat function (Monday – Friday between 8am and 6pm) or raise a support ticket. If you’d prefer to talk to someone on the phone, you can request a call-back from the support team.

In addition, there’s a collection of how-to videos and FAQs covering a range of subjects if you click onto the ‘Support’ tab; looking at everything from how the MyPost Business savings bands work to requesting refunds.

How to access the Australia Post Business Support Portal

If you’re a Parcel Contract customer, you’ll have access to the Business Support Portal, or BSP. This is usually the fastest way for businesses to raise an enquiry or seek help on any questions. 

Use your details to log in and manage your enquiries in one place, and have simple questions answered straight away. You can track, redirect or recall a parcel in transit, or check its status. For other questions, there’s also a chatbot to help answer them within the BSP. 

Support for StarTrack customers   

For businesses using StarTrack, you can manage your parcels and freight, pick-up bookings and Track & Trace using the my StarTrack Online portal. Your customers can also access the Track & Trace tool online to track their own parcels.

Sharing this tool at the time you send your customers their tracking details may reduce enquiries to your own support teams during peak periods.  

How to track a parcel using the AusPost app 

A great tool to help shoppers manage and track their own deliveries is the AusPost app. By encouraging your customers to download the app, they’ll enjoy a smoother delivery experience with better visibility of their parcels in the network.

91% of shoppers say they track their parcels¹ and website trackers are three times more likely to contact the retailer about a delivery issue than app users – who will self-serve. Anything that leads to a reduction in queries to your support teams during peak season is no doubt a great help!  

Customers can use the app to:

• Quickly and easily track a parcel
• Get delivery estimates
• Request safe drop²
• Add a Parcel Locker or another Collection Point
• Redirect a parcel – even while they’re in transit³
