How to Use Shipping Calculator

If you have never used a shipping calculator before, don't worry — it is as simple as it can get.

Here is a step-by-step process to guide you with using a postage estimator:

Step 1 - Enter the Origin and Destination. These fields will also require you to mention the specific country, suburb, and postcode that you are sending the shipment from and sending it to

Step 2 - Check the box if you would like us to pack your shipment for you. (if you select this option, you will be getting a customized quote instead of an instant one)

Step 3 - Check the box that would let us know if you would like to add excess baggage or personal items (if you select this option, you will be getting a customized quote instead of an instant one)

Step 4 - Enter the details of the package including its length, width, height, and value. You should have the accurate measurement and weight of the package to generate an exact postage estimate. If it is not possible for you to have the exact dimensions and weight of the package, enter an estimate. However, note that the final cost will be based on the exact values of the package dimensions and weight.

Step 5 - Add a brief description of the package that you are sending

Step 6 - Click on “Submit Quote”

Step 7 - Review the postage cost generated based on the details entered by you. You can also proceed to select one of the several shipping options to pick one that works best for you
