How to Send Mail to Australia
It will not be wrong to say that one of the perks of living in the modern day’s society is the ability to send mail to any part of the world in a matter of few days. Although emails, live internet chat and social media tools have become a popular tool to communicate with your friends, relatives and colleagues, you will be required to use postal services if you are planning to send them a gift item or other such items. Sending mail to Australia from the United States can be done easily by adhering to the instructions given in the article. Remember, sending the mail to Australia is similar to sending mail to anywhere else in the world.
Instructions

1
Decided on the item to be sent to Australia. Bring the item home and place it inside a rectangular or square box. It is recommended to use padding if the item is breakable. You may also choose to use form popcorn and bubble wrap to make sure the item does not break before reaching the destination. Use clean packing tape to seal the parcel.
In case you want to send some documents, seal them properly in an envelope. -

Write your name, complete home address, social security number and telephone number on one side of the box. Make sure you write these details on the top of bottom left corner of the box. Write the receiver’s full name, house address and telephone number on the other side of the box.

Weigh the item or parcel on a weighing machine before taking it to your local United States Postal Office. As you enter the postal office, fill in the mail sender’s form.
You will be required to provide details such as your full name, home address and credit card details. Let the clerk know that you want to send the parcel to Australia and the address is detailed on the side of the parcel box. The clerk will then measure the dimensions of the parcel and its weight. -

You will be asked to choose from several pricing and time options. Use the one that best suits your needs and pay the service charges to the clerk. First class mail is usually the cheapest and the most unreliable as delivery date is not guaranteed. Global Recorded Express offers quickest delivery times with item guaranteed to be delivered in three working days.
