As communicated in our Spring Seller Update, some postage service and pricing changes will come into effect on 7 November.
Australia Post label pricing
We are reflecting Australia Post’s annual price change on our labels platform. The pricing is now zonal (local, metro or rural), which means you’ll get more competitive pricing for same and different city metro deliveries. The Australia Post retail rates in the postage calculator have also been updated.
You can find the new pricing updated in the Seller Centre. You can also access the domestic postcode guide for metro zoning and the per kilogram pricing by origin and destination zone for parcels 5 kilograms or more in weight.
Australia Post Packaging Classification
Australia Post packaging is now classified by size rather than weight, to reflect their ‘If it packs, it posts’ approach. For example, a 500 gram parcel is now a ‘small’ parcel. Satchels and boxes have a maximum weight of 5 kilograms, and prices vary depending on the origin and destination zone of the item.
