Australia post cut off mail to uk

A common concern for many Australians!

Australia Post has indeed announced changes to its international mail services, including the suspension of some mail services to the United Kingdom (UK) and other countries.

As of January 2022, Australia Post has implemented the following changes:

  1. Suspension of airmail services: Australia Post has suspended its airmail services to the UK and other countries due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions. This means that mail sent via airmail will not be accepted for dispatch.
  2. Surface mail services: While airmail services are suspended, Australia Post is still accepting mail for dispatch via surface mail (sea freight) to the UK and other countries. However, please note that surface mail services are slower and may take longer to arrive.
  3. Priority services: Australia Post is still offering priority services, such as Express Post International, to the UK and other countries. These services are faster and more reliable than surface mail, but may still be affected by delays due to the pandemic.

What does this mean for you?

If you need to send mail to the UK or other countries, you can still do so, but you'll need to choose the surface mail or priority services. Keep in mind that surface mail services may take longer to arrive, and priority services may still be affected by delays.

To ensure your mail arrives safely and efficiently, consider the following:
