Oversized items - sending overseas

Send large, unusually-shaped or heavy items over 30kg overseas. Our International Freight service can offer a door to door, freight forwarding capability for larger items, which cannot be sent through our standard services.

What is an oversized item?

  • Weighs 30kg or more.
  • Height, length or thickness of any one side over 1.5m, or more than 3m overall (length plus girth)
  • Volume over 0.125m3 - this is calculated by height x length x thickness.

What can I send?

Single, large items and small or large volumes may be delivered.

How much does it cost?

The cost to send by international freight is based on the size, weight and destination of your item.
