Courier to Australia

[JCKST1]

I need to send a parcel to Australia tomorrow, it is 65 x 65 x 26 CM in size and around 3-4KG in weight.
Quite important so I need it there within 1-2 days, having had a look on line most are coming back around £120 for a 1-3 day service.

I dont mind paying this but wondered if anyone knows a company offering it cheaper or a next day service for a similar amount?


Thanks in advance.

The problem you have is the volume of the parcel

its only 4kg(Max) physical weight but the dimensions work out at 22kg (most couriers will use length x width x height divided by 5000; so 65 x 65 x 26 /5000 = 22kg)

We send a lot of stuff to Australia at work and this is the issue, the amount of space it takes up on the airoplane basically

£120 is good, i'd have charged about £140 inc VAT with DHL

Are there still very strict rules on packaging materials used in shipments to Australia?
No wood based products unless certified?

Ah well so £120 it is, worth asking I suppose.

Luckily ours are carbon based and not wood or anything peculiar.


Thanks again

I regularly use Transglobal but they are coming back a bit more expensive this time.
Pharos just came back at £100 on a 2-3 day service, thanks for the heads up
