Shipping to Australia<\/span> From the US<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Australia is currently the tenth largest ecommerce market<\/a> in the world by revenue. If you haven\u2019t expanded your business into Australia, you\u2019re missing out on a great opportunity to grow sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But serving Australian customers as a US-based business can be tricky. Since Australia is a remote country, air and sea shipments are going to take some time. With more rules and regulations in place than many other countries, shipping to Australia from the US can be time-consuming, error-prone, and costly \u2014 especially if your ecommerce business is small to mid-sized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide to shipping from the US to Australia, you\u2019ll learn about your delivery options, rules and regulations, common transit times, and other ways to help you expand your ecommerce business in Australia, and the benefits of partnering with an\u00a0international fulfilment<\/a>\u00a03PL like ShipBob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. USPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

USPS is a great option if quick delivery times aren\u2019t a huge priority, and you want the cheapest shipping option. Unlike the other couriers, you will only have to pay a flat rate depending on the USPS mail type<\/a> and package weight. Package dropoff is simple because you can drop off packages at your mailbox or visit a local post office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One major drawback to using USPS for Australian shipping is that the packages are transferred to Australia Post (the national Australian mailing service) once they arrive in Australia. This means the order tracking number<\/a> provided by USPS will no longer work and you must wait for a new tracking number. This also adds on a few extra delivery days due to the transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
