Summer is in the air, the holiday season is on the horizon, and all around Australia we are reconnecting with family and friends. Online shopping is a great way to knock over your Christmas shopping, but it comes with it's own challenges!
This guide will help you plan your online shopping to ensure your gift makes it safely to it's destination in time for Christmas.
1. Choose gifts that travel well
Those beautiful goodies need to go a long way, especially when sending overseas, so choose products that will go the distance and arrive as pristine as when they left.
We recommend:
Think lightweight and non-fragile - as a bonus, you'll pay less for shipping on lightweight parcels!
2. Consider using our gift option
Pro tip: cut out the middle man and send your gift straight to it's lucky recipient! Select gift option at checkout, and we'll make sure your gift is beautifully presented without the invoice. You can even personalise your purchased greeting card! Learn more about this process
3. Know your delivery cut-off dates
There's nothing more disappointing than putting all that effort into choosing the perfect gift, for it not to arrive in time for Christmas. We anticipate that this year is going to be particularly busy for courier services, so plan ahead and skip the stress of sending parcels with our super easy guide to domestic and international cut-off dates.
