*Delivery times are estimates provided to us by our courier partners and are based on delivery to major destinations only. For more remote locations, transit times could be a day or two longer.
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.

Brilliant service, parcel to Australia arrived swiftly and safe.
Excellent service n will always use this service in the future.
Posting Parcel and notification excellent but delivery times to Australia much longer than suggested.Covid related delays I expect .
I now only use Parcel Monkey to send my parcels to my family in Australia. As well as their prices being very reasonable - they always show up when they say they will and our parcels have always arrived at my daughters house (in good condition) a week after collected from my house.
Everything went according to plan. The only challenge or complaint is that the collection and delivery window are all day which is not always easy to manage. Even text notifications just gave 7am - 6pm Nordlink tracking service did not respond to any of the tracker IDs I had, not sure of the benefit of this But they did what they said they would do and all went well UK to Australia in 4-5 days, pretty good
We were very impressed with the service. Our parcel was collected from England on 21st April and our relatives in Australia received it on 28th or 29th April. As this was during a time when the world was partially shut down due to the Covid pandemic, we thought this was very speedy. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.
Excellent Service
Glad to have found this service and saved myself a few pounds.
