Cut-off dates
Cut-off dates
Last year we delivered nearly 100 million parcels to customers during November and December. We recommend sending your Christmas parcels as early as possible, and by the cut-off dates below, to help us get them there in time for Christmas Day. We’ll deliver items sent after these dates as quickly as we can, but they may not arrive until after Christmas.
If you’re sending a Christmas card within Australia, the postage cost is 65c3. Check out the cost to send cards, letters and parcels, within Australia and overseas here.
