I understand your concern, but there is nothing that can be done. It quotes the largest weight you could send for the price. I am quite confused about the 5.3 Kgs. It seems like an odd amount, they usually quote by the KG or part thereof, I have never seen this before. My parcels if over 1Kg have 2KGS or 3KGS on the label (can't remember which, but it is an even number) Although I am only sending in boxes, you do not say if it is a packet or box, or maybe an odd shaped item, this could be the difference. Your Post Office may be able to tell you more.

You can go to the Australia Post website and check the price . You need your postcode, the postcode it is going to, the size of the parcel, and the weight of the parcel. I find it is always accurate. The advantage of printing your own label is that you get a discount on all but the basic $7.95 one which is for parcels under 500 grams.

They may have cubed it as it's a "larger" parcel,(so yes,it's best to check before sending),

You are right Tazz, they cube all parcels over 1 kg in weight.
