Australia Post Delivery Times Overseas

Sending a gift overseas? You can find the recommended last lodgement dates for all Auspost international destinations listed on their website. While these dates are correct at the time of publishing, they are subject to change.

Overseas deliveries may be affected by factors that are beyond AusPosts control such as customs delays and overseas postal disruptions, so we recommend sending as early as you can.                                                                                             

For both domestic and international destinations, items sent after these dates will be delivered as quickly as possible, but they may not arrive until after Christmas.
