*All prices shown are for parcels sent within Zone 1 (same capital city or same major area). Prices vary for other zones depending on destination.
When using your own packaging, Australia Post will calculate postage based on physical weight (how much the parcel weighs on a scale) or cubic weight (the parcel’s volume in cubic metres multiplied by 250), whichever is greater. This is known as the chargeable weight. Australia Post reserves the right to apply Cubic Weight Charges to all parcels, but is more likely where a parcel is large in size or irregular or cylindrical in shape. Cubic Weight Charging is not applicable to eligible Australia Post packaging products.
For parcels 5 kilograms or more, we calculate postage based on a fixed amount plus a cost per kilogram, depending on the destination.
