Cost-effective international delivery
When speed isn’t the highest priority, and what you are sending is of low value so you don’t need tracking, choose our International Economy service.
International Economy is suitable for sending items up to $100 in value. If your item is valued over $100, you should purchase Extra Cover3 – it provides loss or damage cover from $100 up to $5,000. Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, if your parcel is lost or damaged, and you haven’t purchased Extra Cover, compensation of up to $100 and a postage refund may be payable.5
