Sending Parcels from the UK to Australia — How It Works
Many UK online shops don't offer international shipping to Australia, or charge high rates that make ordering impractical. PostUK gives you a real UK delivery address so you can shop from any UK retailer as a UK customer and forward your parcels to Australia.
Australian expats living in the UK who are returning home, Australians who prefer UK pricing and product ranges, and anyone who can't get a UK retailer to ship to Australia — PostUK solves the problem with a straightforward forwarding service.

Consolidation — worth considering for Australia
Shipping from the UK to Australia is a long-haul route, so forwarding costs are primarily driven by weight and volume. If you're ordering from multiple UK retailers, PostUK's parcel consolidation service lets you combine everything into a single shipment — often saving significantly compared to forwarding each parcel separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does shipping to Australia take?
Standard services to Australia typically take 7–14 working days. Express options can be faster. Estimated delivery times are shown before payment.
Will I pay Australian customs duties?
Australia charges GST (10%) on imported goods over AUD 1,000 in value. Parcels under this threshold are generally imported duty-free. Any applicable charges are your responsibility and are not included in PostUK forwarding costs.
Will UK electronics work in Australia?
Australia uses Type I plugs and 230V/50Hz power. Most modern UK electronics are dual-voltage and will work in Australia, but you'll need a UK-to-Australian plug adaptor. Check each product's specs before ordering.
Is consolidation worth it for Australia?
Yes. On long-haul routes like UK to Australia, combining multiple parcels into one shipment can save substantially compared to forwarding separately. Use Quick Quote to compare.
