Thanks Sue. I have been meaning to message you and ask how you packaged everything, after you once commented you used those big bags.

Oh my gosh, didn't realize it was taking up to 8 months now to arrive.

Hi Jenny. I'm in South Australia. I do a large parcel in one of those zip bags from the cheap shop. I line it with a garbag. I cut the handles off and completely seal it with wide tape , so everything is secure if the zipper breaks or a seam bursts. Since Mail recommended after Covid parcels are taking from 6 to 8 months to arrive ( used to be 3 months).

HI Wendy,

Thanks. This is the exact info I was looking for.

Have a Great Day.

Hi Jenny, I am in Australia and I have always sent my parcels wrapped in black plastic bin bags sealed up with lots of tape. I have not had any issues with them being lost or damaged so far as I know.

I usually do a double layer of bags and then seal with really wide tape so that the whole parcel is covered. I prefer to send this way as a box adds a lot of excess weight.

I always use Sea Mail. Air Mail is too expensive. The only draw back is it can take up to 6 months before my parcels arrive. The minimum weight for Sea Mail is also 2 kg. Hope this helps.

Thanks Amy for your reply. I was actually wondering how people package them ie in a plastic garbage bag all taped up or in an Australia Post bag with lots of tape; or is there a better way

Thanks,

Jenny,

Maybe someone else from Australia will comment here.  This is the link on the Forum about post from several places in the world, Australia is on the list.   Most of our contributors from Australia send sea mail.  We have always received mail from Australia it just takes a bit of time to get here.  Thanks for asking.

HI,

I have knitted, crocheted and loomed quite a few squares and would like to post them. Does anyone have any tips on how to package them ready for postage from Australia please?
