.....Busse deal with the export from the US and you will deal with the import end. That *may* (if valued over $1K Aussie INCLUDING the shipping costs) mean doing the import paperwork and paying the fees, that will be the applicable GST, tariff if applicable plus the standard $90 processing fee.

Looks like you can Ship through USPS but only Express international, a small flat rate envelope size is about 70.00
Still no 1st class and no priority.
Spent about 30 min trying all different ways.

I call it a "doing your job fee"
 
That $90 fee is the part I begrudge the most. I have actually filled in all the forms and completed the calculations identifying the correct tariff codes etc. That check my math and send out the bill for me to pay for the package to be released. Now if it is UNDER $1K Aussie it just sails on through to me.
 
knife sent from eastern states on the 27th last month usps, just notifed by auspost it will be delivered on the 5th-7th october fest for sure!
 
Well at least you are getting your package finally. Congrats on that at least. Fortunately for me, I don’t ever have to import expensive Tools or Luxury items.

So, I just got word through my office. As of Oct. 1, USPS is officially suspending international mail acceptance to Australia, until further notice. This is due to "unavailable transportation."

Effects:
Airmail - effective 10/1
International Priority Airmail - effective 10/1
International Surface Air Lift - effective 10/1
Priority Mail International - suspended 9/17
First-Class Package International Service - suspended 9/3
Commercial ePacket - suspended 9/3
International Priority Airmail Packets - suspended 9/3
International Surface Airlift Packets - suspended 9/3

Customers are entitled to a full refund of their postage costs when service to the country of destination is suspended.
Detailed procedures for refund can be found at https://postalpro.usps.com/international-refunds
The International Service Alerts page has the most up to date information: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/?utm_source=residential&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=res_to_intl

Thus ends this Public Service Announcement.

ETA - Packages that were submitted prior to the above dates will supposedly transport the packages to their destination, but delays are to be expected. Anything submitted after those dates, for the specific services, will be routed back to the sender. It then goes on to talk about getting refunds.

Because most of the freight is carried on passenger flights and they are just not happening at a rate enough to sustain the demand. I expect this situation to continue till @December maybe November when out international gates are more open. Amazon and eBay are still getting packages in presumably due to commercial arrangements with FedEx etc.
 
Simple Solution! Ship to Aus? No problem, you just became an Amazon Fulfillment Center 😁 That bald headed Munchkin will make anyone a fulfilment center. Need some labels? just ask, I know someone. No really, I know someone 😂
 
You lot need to stop relying on Fox new et al for your news. All you get is made up nonsense.

Australia will be coming out of this pandemic with hundreds of thousands of less deaths than the US and a far higher vaccination rate... could these facts be related??

And further, yes we pay higher taxes but also receive far better health care and government support.

We have a better quality of life, and we live longer too!!
 
I am still waiting for an item that was shipped on September 3, from Melbourne

Sorry to hear.
If it was sent through Australia Post I'd expect delay because they would be sending stuff out by commercial flights.

The other delaying factor is that Melbourne was under lockdown till last week, so possible staff shortages.
And a standard procedure for all big businesses here has been that if any of the staff tested positive to Covid, all warehouse/depo goes into shutdown and deep clean, and other staff hast to get tested and quarantine at home...

My friend waited nearly 3 weeks for item sent by courier company from Brisbane to Sydney... the van got to a depo which was closed that same day and was stuck there till depo reopened

I had a set of knife scales take about 5 weeks from Australia to Ireland. They arrived safe and sound. International post has been slow for the last year so there is nothing to do only wait and they will turn up safe.
The US is opening up commercial flights more from Europe and Internationally as of the 8th and Australia is opening up, so hopefully we will see a return to normality or close enough.
