What's the cheapest way to ship clothing in Australia?
For items under 500g: Australia Post's 500g prepaid satchel (AU$11.15 standard, or ~AU$9.50 with MyPost Business Band 3+). Poly mailers from Temu weigh almost nothing, keeping you well under the 500g limit for most single garments. For heavy lots (denim, winter coats), the 3kg satchel at MyPost Business rates often undercuts per-kilo pricing at Aramex. Pre-purchase satchels in bulk online to save further — individual counter purchase adds 10–15%.

Key things to know for Australian sellers
Australian online selling has its own quirks: GST registration thresholds, Australia Post rate structures, and platform-specific buyer behaviour differ from the US and UK advice you'll find most readily online. Checking ATO guidance directly and using the Australia Post postage calculator for accurate quotes are good starting points.
Using multiple platforms together
Most successful Australian resellers end up selling across at least two platforms. The marginal effort to list on a second platform is much lower if you already have photos and a description, and reaching two different buyer pools meaningfully increases your chances of a sale.
