Your postage rate is based on the size of packaging you choose. As long as your item fits inside one of our If It Packs, It Posts packages, weighs under 5kgs and will be sent within Australia – it posts for a simple postage rate.
Your postage rate is based on the weight tier your packed item fits into. Your packed item weight is based on your packed item’s actual or cubic weight, whichever is greater.

Parcel Post is suitable for sending items up to $100 in value. If your item is valued over $100, you should purchase Extra Cover5 – it provides loss or damage cover from $100 up to $5,000. Parcel Post is not suitable for items over $100 such as jewellery, electronics or passports unless Extra Cover is purchased.
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. Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, Australia Post does not accept liability for any consequential or indirect loss or damage arising due to any failure related to our service. Neither the compensation included with our Parcel Post service nor the purchase of Extra Cover limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.
