Shipping Bulky Items
- Standard Australia Post has size and weight limits. Anything over 22kg or 105cm on the longest side needs a courier.
- Aramex and CouriersPlease are usually the cheapest options for bulky items within Australia.
- Get quotes from multiple couriers — prices vary wildly depending on the route and dimensions.
- Pack bulky items with corner protectors and thick cardboard. Couriers are rougher on large parcels than small ones.
- Local pickup eliminates shipping hassles entirely. Price your item slightly lower for pickup-only and you'll often sell faster.
- If offering delivery, charge a flat fee based on distance — $20 within 10km, $40 within 30km is a common approach.
