FAQs about shipping from the USA to Australia

How much does it cost to ship from the USA to Australia?

The cost of shipping from the USA to Australia depends on three main factors:

  • Parcel weight and size - carriers charge by whichever is greater: actual weight or dimensional weight
  • Carrier choice - DHL, FedEx, USPS and Aramex each price differently for the US to Australia route
  • Number of parcels - sending one consolidated shipment is almost always cheaper than several separate ones

Use the shipping calculator above to compare live carrier rates for your parcel.

Stackry rates are quoted in US dollars. To see what a quote works out to in Australian dollars, you can convert quickly with XE.

How long does shipping from the USA to Australia take?

Transit time depends on the carrier and service level you choose. For express services from the US to major Australian cities, most parcels arrive within a week. Slower economy services take longer but cost less.

Typical transit times to capital cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide:

  • DHL Express: 2 to 5 business days
  • FedEx International Priority: 2 to 5 business days
  • USPS Priority Mail International: 15 to 30 business days

Parcels heading to regional or remote areas (Tasmania, Northern Territory, regional WA and QLD) usually add 1 to 3 business days for the final leg with Australia Post.

A few things that can extend transit time:

  • Australian customs inspection (more common for first-time importers and parcels near the AUD $1,000 threshold)
  • Public holidays in either country
  • Peak periods like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas

The transit time shown on each option in the calculator above is your best guide for a specific parcel. For a full breakdown of each carrier we work with, see our international shipping options.

Do I have to pay customs duties when I buy from the US and ship to Australia?

Stackry allows you to shop without paying US state tax. However, you will still need to pay local import duties.
Some countries have a de minimis value. Products that are valued under the de minimis value will be exempt from some or all taxes and duties.

Different countries have different rules, and the amount that you will need to pay will depend on the nature and value of your package. For more information about taxes and duties when shipping from the US to Australia, take a look at our dedicated information page.

How much can I save by consolidating multiple US orders into one shipment?

Consolidating multiple US orders into one shipment is the single biggest way to cut your shipping cost from the US to Australia. The savings come from how international carriers price parcels: rates are based on dimensional weight, so several small parcels almost always cost more to ship than one combined parcel of the same total weight.

What savings look like in practice (real Stackry rates):

Items Shipped separately Consolidated Saving
2 iPhones ~US$92 (2 x $46.29) US$62.72 ~32%
3 laptops ~US$274 (3 x $91.50) US$175.80 ~36%
3 bottles of perfume ~US$151 (3 x $50.37) US$71.98 ~52%

Smaller, lighter items (like books) often see the biggest percentage savings because consolidation closes the gap between dimensional weight and actual weight.

A couple of things to know about consolidating to Australia:

  • Each Stackry shipment to Australia is capped at AUD$1,000 / US$600 declared value. This keeps your parcel under Australia's GST low-value threshold, where 10% GST is collected by Stackry before dispatch when applicable, rather than at the border.
  • For hazmat items (perfume, multiple iPhones or laptops in one box), the $12.50 hazmat handling fee applies once per shipment so consolidating these saves you the fee on each extra parcel too.
