Whether you're sending a birthday gift to a friend in Sydney, fulfilling an e-commerce order in Brisbane, or mailing essentials to family in Perth, getting it right matters.

Fortunately, with Worldwide Parcel Services, our 20 years of shipping experience and know-how, plus our top quality couriers, make it easier and safer than you might think. This guide walks you through every step of sending a parcel to Australia, from picking the best shipping option, packaging advice, navigating customs and keeping costs low.
Why Send a Parcel to Australia?
Australia's a popular destination for UK shippers, and it's no surprise why. With a large expat community, thriving trade links, and a love for UK goods, parcels flow Down Under all year-round. Maybe you're sending Vegemite alternatives (since they've got that covered!), holiday gifts for Christmas in summer, or handmade crafts for an online buyer. Whatever the reason, you've got plenty of options to get there. The key is understanding what Australia demands: secure packaging, accurate customs forms, and compliance with its famously strict import rules. Let's explore how to make it happen.
Shipping Solutions for Australia
Choosing the right courier is the first step to a successful shipment. The UK offers a lineup of trusted services, each with strengths tailored to Australia's needs. Here's what you need to know.
Top Couriers for Shipping to Australia
Several couriers stand out for UK-to-Australia shipping, balancing cost, speed, and reliability:
- DHL: A leader in express shipping, DHL's Express Worldwide delivers to Australia in 2-5 days.
- UPS: Versatile and reliable, UPS offers Express Saver in 3-5 days, with prices from £37.24 .
- DPD: Less common for Australia but partners with global networks for competitive rates and delivery times of 5 to 10 days.
Preparation Tips
A parcel to Australia faces a long, though surprisingly quick, journey, so preparation is everything.
Packing for the Long Haul
- Box It Right: Use a double-walled cardboard box.
- Protect It: Bubble wrap fragile goods, such as ceramics or glass, individually. Fill gaps with polystyrene chips or similar.
- Seal It: Three strips of heavy-duty tape in a crisscross pattern keep it shut.
Labelling & Customs Forms
When you book your parcel to Australia through Worldwide Parcel Services, your label is generated automatically from the details you have entered. Please ensure that you enter an accurate address plus email and a local phone number.
When you book with WPS, you will need to enter the quantity, weight, description and commodity (HS) code for your item. Please give a detailed description, i.e., instead of "tools" state "electric drill", "hammer", etc. You will not usually need to print off your commercial invoice as it is automatically generated and sent electronically to the courier's customs department, during the booking process.
What You Can't Send
Restricted and Prohibited items: Perfumes, aerosols, fresh food (meat, fruit), plants, seeds, soil, wooden items with bark, and more.
Please see our prohibited and restricted items list for more details

Tracking
To track your shipment, click tracking at the top of the homepage and enter your invoice number and the delivery postcode.

FAQs
How Do I Avoid Biosecurity Holds?
Declare all items accurately (e.g., "sealed biscuits") and avoid banned goods like seeds. Clean used items (e.g., shoes) to remove dirt.
What's the Quickest Way to Rural Australia?
DHL Express (3-4 working days) is usually the fastest. Please bear in mind that more remote areas can take 2 to 3 days longer.
Can I Send Electronics Safely?
Yes, but please pack them well. In addition, if they have lithium batteries, you can only send 2 items per shipment. Batteries must be attached to the item and no spare batteries can be sent.
