Australia Post Express International - Who Do They Use?

Hello,

Wondering on who Australia Post International uses (these are govt documents) from Australia to the Republic of Ireland. As its a PO Box I cant see any other choice.

  • It depends on many factors within logistics but default is most likely be the local post service so: An Post.

    Once it leave Australian shores and arrives in Ireland, it should be Ireland's own postal service who does the last mile delivery.

    • I figured that one, just wondering who they use for the trans shipment phase.

      I’ve had a look at 20 tracking numbers and every thing is just wild. Seems like I’m only getting “UPU” some sort of UN agency?

      What if the PO Box is more than a mile away from the airport?

  • It works like this

    Local PO
    district PO
    DC PO
    Loaded into country of destination bag at DC PO
    Freight terminal PO
    Scanned through security
    Airside
    Loaded onto next plane going towards destination
    Arrival at first airport
    Reloaded to another plane if needed
    Arrival second airport
    Reloaded to another plane
    Arrival to destination
    Scanned by security if required
    Handed over to local mail service
    Delivered to recipient

  • I have sent gifts from Sydney (Australia) to County Kerry (Ireland) and each time, it has arrived with no issues.
    One was an engagement gift of champagne glasses from Victoria's Basement. I wrapped it up and marked it FRAGILE and it arrived in less than 10 days with no breakage!
    Another was a Samsung tablet less than $300 and was received as well.
    Even Christmas cards and letters are received.
    It's in good hands when it gets to Ireland so don't worry. Just pack it in an International envelope with tracking?

    • I've got an International Express Envelope, just wondering who they actually use for the international shipping sector, is it EMS, FedEx, UPS, DHL or someone else.

      • I can't confirm but try and see if you can speak to someone in Ireland. Perhaps call a postal service there. The thing is, there are many service providers like you suggest. It could be any one of them, including Toll Priority etc.
