All Sendle deliveries require a physical street address (Sendle can't deliver to post offices, PO boxes, locked bags, parcel lockers or parcel collect locations). Bear in mind, Sendle currently does not offer signature on delivery.

How postage is calculated
Sellers can prepay for their Australia Post postage labels on eBay, add signature on delivery or insurance if required, and drop their parcels at a Post Office.
Find Australia Post's domestic postcode guide here. Australia Post or eBay co-branded Flat rate packaging can be used to send 5kg or under in Australia. Postage is calculated based on the packaging size (extra small, small, medium, large or extra large)
As of 1 July 2024, Australia Post rates are as follows (prices are inclusive of GST):
| Size | Parcel post | Express post |
| XS (250g) | $8.55 | $11.25 |
| S (500g) | $10.95 |
$14.45 |
| M (1kg) | $14.95 | $18.95 |
| L (3kg) | $18.95 | $23.45 |
| XL (5kg) | $22.85 | $31.35 |
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.
