Does mail get shipped on weekends aus
In Australia, the postal services operate on a Monday to Friday schedule, with some exceptions on weekends and public holidays. Here's what you need to know:
- Australia Post: Mail and parcels are not shipped on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) or public holidays. If you send a parcel or mail on a Friday, it will be processed and dispatched on the next business day, which is usually Monday.
- Express Post: Australia Post's Express Post service is available Monday to Friday, but it's not available on weekends or public holidays. If you send an Express Post item on a Friday, it will be processed and dispatched on the next business day, which is usually Monday.
- Parcel Lockers: Some Parcel Lockers are available 24/7, but you can only collect your parcel during business hours (Monday to Friday).
However, there are some exceptions:
- Some regional areas: In some regional areas, Australia Post may operate on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is not a standard service and is subject to change.
- Special arrangements: In some cases, Australia Post may make special arrangements for weekend delivery, such as for urgent or time-sensitive items. However, these arrangements are usually made on a case-by-case basis and are not a standard service.
It's always best to check with Australia Post or the specific postal service you're using to confirm their weekend and public holiday operating hours, as these may vary depending on your location and the type of service you're using.
