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.

Good service and easy to follow instructions and parcel sent to Australia easy
Not the greatest. My parcel is missing in transit somewhere……..however I’m told that this is still because of covid & the weather! 3-8 days was advertised delivery time, the parcel I sent did not complete its journey in this time & who knows when it will.
I’ve used Parcel Monkey on and off for about 7 years, first time I used them they managed to stop an international sale scam we’d somehow got involved in. I’ve been loyal to them ever since. Always good.
It would be much more helpful if you could give a collection time slot on the day rather than have customers waiting for hours on collection day. Otherwise an excellent service which got my package from the UK to Australia very quickly.
Very efficient website. Labels are easy to print with clear packaging advice. Parcel was collected by a friendly driver and the recipient was notified that a parcel would be arriving. The parcel is destined for Australia and will take approximately a week. Hopefully it will arrive within the week.
Brilliant as usual, parcel arrived in Australia in time for a birthday and in perfect condition.
Excellent service.
Collected on time and delivered on time i would recommend
