How much does it cost to ship to Australia?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions and the service. On the long air route, couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight, so a light but bulky box can cost more than you'd expect. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final shipping prices straight away. Any import charges are separate.

How many days does delivery to Australia take?

It depends on the service and the destination. The comparison shows the estimated time for each option before you book. For Australia, customs clearance, biosecurity checks, the distance to remote areas and pre-Christmas volumes all play a part. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees.

Can the courier collect from my address?

Yes. The courier collects from your home or office on the pickup day you choose when booking. Have the parcel packed and the commercial invoice printed.

How do I track my shipment?

You track it with the number you receive once your booking is complete. It shows every stage of the route, including when the parcel clears customs and biosecurity. If anything is needed from the recipient, you'll see it there.

Which courier should I choose for Australia?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Australia you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For documents with a deadline, go for the shortest estimate. For holiday gifts, ship early and pick by price.

Are the prices I see final?

For shipping, yes, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. Because Australia is outside the EU, import duties, taxes or fees may apply under local rules. They are not included in the price you see and are normally charged to the recipient. A detailed invoice description helps avoid delays at biosecurity.

Sending a parcel from Greece to Australia

Australia's Greek community lives mostly in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide and stays closely connected to Greece. Sending a parcel to Australia usually means gifts, clothes, books and documents for relatives. And the other way round: certificates and powers of attorney for matters in Greece.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. It's a very long route, and remote areas such as the Northern Territory take longer.

Every parcel goes through customs and biosecurity checks. Import duties, taxes or fees may apply under the country's rules and are not included in the shipping price.

Useful information

Main cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Remote inland areas and the Northern Territory often take longer.
Postcodes have 4 digits and go after the state, e.g. Oakleigh VIC 3166.
Australia strictly controls food, seeds, plants, animal products and wooden items. Many aren't allowed, and all must be declared.
Outside the EU: customs check with a commercial invoice.
Christmas falls in the Australian summer. Australia Day (26 January) and Anzac Day (25 April) are public holidays.
