If the recipient is an Australian overseas warehouse or an Amazon warehouse, the recipient cannot cooperate in customs clearance, so international express delivery is generally suitable for commercial and private residential addresses. The price is the most expensive and the time limit is the fastest. It takes 5-7 days to sign in.

In addition, it is difficult to make an appointment for delivery from the FBA warehouse in Australia. The overall timeliness may take 45-60 days. If the FBA seller has requirements for timeliness, it is not recommended to choose the shipping channel.
