  • You cannot AIRSURE to Australia.

    Was going to say that you could not Airsure to Australia, I do not know why they do not offer it, there are only about 20 countries you can Airsure to.

    If this is a low value item (under 46 pounds) I would use airmail small packets and a Certificate of Posting saving you or your customer 5 pounds. You will still have insurance if anything goes wrong.

    Also foreign tracking is entirely dependent on their mail service, their workers scanning the item etc. usps in the USA is particularly pants about it!

    There is no £3.09 post to Australia. Assuming the DVD weighed about 125 g packed then it would have been £2.60 small packet. That price band covers up to 160g, the next band is up to 180g for £3.20.

    I would check your POP to see what you were charged for as I cannot make up a combined total of £3.09 at all.
