Shipping Tips
- Australia Post Parcel Post with tracking is the go-to for most items. Budget $10-15 for standard-sized parcels.
- Poly mailers work for clothing and soft goods — they're lighter and cheaper to post than boxes.
- For rigid items, use a box with at least 2cm of padding on all sides. Newspaper works in a pinch, but bubble wrap is better.
- Print labels at home if you're shipping regularly — it saves time at the post office and gives you tracking automatically.
- Offer combined shipping if you sell multiple items. Buyers appreciate the discount and you save on packaging.
- Always get proof of postage. A tracking number or Australia Post receipt is your only defence in a delivery dispute.
