How much does it cost to ship a box to Australia?

We tailor our shipping service to suit your individual budget and time-frame, but there are three main factors that influence the overall cost of shipping to Australia from the UK:

  • How many items you’re sending to Australia.
  • Your chosen transport method.
  • Your exact end destination in Australia.

If you are looking for cheap shipping to Australia, sending your items via sea freight is the recommended method as it keeps shipping costs down. We will ship your boxes in a shared container and you’ll only pay for the space your boxes use up.

If you need your boxes to be sent quickly then you can send them via air freight. This is the fastest way to ship boxes to Australia but you can expect to pay more as the costs are calculated based on the weight of your items.

Another contributing factor to the cost of shipping boxes to Australia is the distance that your goods are travelling and how they are delivered upon arrival in Australia. Find out how much it will cost you to ship to Australia by filling in our online quote.
