You will need to complete a customs declaration form when shipping to Australia, but this is very straightforward, and we’ll guide you through it during the booking process. All we’ll need is a detailed account of each item in your package and the value.
Depending on what you're sending, customs charges may also apply, and these will need to be paid by the recipient before Australian Customs will release your parcel. Please ensure the recipient is aware of any charges due and make sure you enclose up to date contact information for them so they can be easily contacted by customs when the parcel arrives.

Australia has some cautious rules and regulations surrounding imports, which apply to parcels sent to the country, both by courier and post. Due to its reliance on agriculture, many things that are allowed into the country are subject to close inspection and quarantine. The Australian Import Service keeps an especially close eye on all agricultural products.
Despite disease outbreaks in animal populations worldwide, Australia's plants and animals have remained largely unaffected. To maintain the country's clean standards, you will not be able to ship any meats, dairy products, plants or soil. This may also apply to items that come into contact with soil, including used outdoor sports clothing/equipment, used gardening equipment or outdoor furniture.
The Australian Border Force provides a very comprehensive guide on what items can be imported to Australia, but please also check the Parcel Monkey restricted and prohibited items list, as there could be additional restrictions which have been imposed by our courier partners.

Always use Parcel Monkey to organise my regular parcels to be sent to my daughter in Australia. I was pleasantly amazed at the price this month, but then the parcel was not all that heavy. I can track it all the way and she gets notified at her end when it is in the country. I dont use anyone else and it travels Global Priority Royal Mail.
Priced parcel at local Post Office and would have been £80. Took parcel home and went online for prices. Parcel Monkey was cheapest at £36 for an express tracked service with Parcel Force. Paid online, printed the labels and fixed to the parcel, and dropped the parcel back at the same post office as before. Saving was £50 for printing my own label. (QR code was provided to print label at post office if no printer available.). Parcel subsequently delivered on the day quoted and was able to track to destination. Email received when parcel was delivered in Australia. Our parcel was 3.2kg in a standard posting box. Superb saving of £50 against the Parcel Force standard delivery price quoted at Post Office by using Parcel Monkey for the faster Express Tracked delivery also offered by Parcel Force. Would definitely use this service again.
When my son rang me to say the parcel I sent him had arrived, I was very impressed. From start to finish it took 7 days, which i was pleased about so will be using monkey parcel again.
As always the service is perfect! I have been sending parcels to my daughter in Australia for over five years now and they have always arrived perfectly and on time.
It was a great price on my delivery to Australia, cheaper than booking direct with parcelforce. Booking it in was easy and all the instructions were clear. Parcel arrived within the days given and I was kept informed all the way
Great service, reliable, easy to access and tracking information is sound, even when the route seems alternative. Range of prices and speeds to suit different occasions, top tier company!
Amazing service! The best by far.. No problem what so ever
All worked well, the slight downside was the tracking, it seemed to take a long time for the tracking to be updated so I was never quite sure where the parcel had got to.
