Arranging a Courier from Australia to Malaysia
You can arrange a courier from Australia to Malaysia in three ways, and how to ship to Malaysia with PACK & SEND depends on whether you need a one-off courier to Malaysia or an ongoing freight program:
Service Centre Shipping (Recommended)
Best for fragile, high-value or oversized items, excess baggage and personal effects. Request a personalised courier quote online or by phone, with no need to visit in person (though you are always welcome to). We provide professional packing, customs paperwork, expert support and pickup from your address.
Book Online (Self-Service)
A limited, no-frills option for eligible pre-packed parcels under 20 kg and up to $1,000 in value, sent by individuals who are not shipping for a business and do not send regularly. If your shipment is eligible, you may be able to book online.
You pack and label the parcel yourself, then drop it off or book a pickup. Anything fragile, unpacked, oversized, higher in value or containing lithium batteries must be arranged through your local Service Centre instead.
PACK & SEND Live (For Business Senders)
A powerful solution for Business Senders and other regular senders. PACK & SEND Live offers automation, system integration and scalable fulfilment support. If you ship frequently and want streamlined operations, talk to your local Service Centre about activating a business account.
Shipping Methods from Australia to Malaysia
We offer flexible, dependable delivery options tailored to Malaysian destinations:
Air Freight (Express & Standard)
Choose air freight to Malaysia when timing is essential.
- Express international shipping to Malaysia: for urgent items, typically reaching major Malaysian cities in 2 – 7 business days.
- Standard Air Freight: suited to heavier shipments, with typical transit of 5 – 12 business days.
These timeframes are a guide only, as customs processing, carrier schedules and other factors outside PACK & SEND's control may affect delivery schedules.
Sea Freight
For larger or less time-sensitive consignments, sea freight to Malaysia is the practical choice.
- LCL (Less than Container Load): consolidated container space for smaller shipments.
- FCL (Full Container Load): dedicated container space for large-scale cargo shipping to Malaysia.
Sea freight from Australia to Malaysia typically takes 6 – 10 weeks depending on origin, route and destination port, and LCL shipments can take longer because of container consolidation and deconsolidation. These transit times are a guide only, as customs clearance and carrier schedules are outside PACK & SEND's control.
Shipping Costs from Australia to Malaysia
Every Malaysia shipping quote is customised to the specifics of your consignment and the service it needs. Key factors include:
- Weight and dimensions
- Chosen service (express, air or sea)
- Packing and handling requirements
- Any duties or import taxes that apply

Customs, Duties and Taxes for Malaysia
Customs requirements for Malaysia depend on the type and value of the goods and the circumstances of the shipment. We support you through the customs process by helping prepare the documentation your shipment needs accurately and clearly.
- Duties and taxes: import duty, taxes or customs fees may apply, depending on the type and value of the goods.
- Gifts: parcels sent as gifts may still attract import duty or taxes.
- Documentation: additional customs documentation or permits may be required depending on what you're sending.
Customs clearance decisions rest with Malaysia's customs authorities and are outside PACK & SEND's control. Your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can assist with the requirements and charges for your specific shipment.
