The
postage
price
depends
on
the
weight
of
the
parcel
and
distance.
Because
buyers
of
OZtion
are
located
in
all
states
of
Australia
we
recommend
you
use
the
Calculated
postage
-
cost
will
vary
by
buyer
postcode
option
when
listing
an
item
or
alternatively,
include
the
measurements
of
the
parcel
and
your
lodgement
postcode
in
the
listing's
Postage
Details.
This
will
allow
any
buyer
to
see
the
accurate
Australia
Post
domestic
postage
cost
or
estimate
the
postage
cost
and
avoid
you
missing
a
sale.
- Weigh
the
parcel
- Measure
the
parcel's
dimensions
-
length,
height
and
width
- Use
the
Calculated
postage
-
cost
will
vary
by
buyer
postcode
option
and
enter
the
weight
and
dimensions
when
listing
the
item
or
alternatively,
include
the
measurements
and
your
postcode
in
the
'Postage
Details'
as
per
below
For
example
-
see
screenshot
where
the
seller
includes
details
to
assist
the
buyer:
Cubic
Weight
(used
when
the
cubic
weight
is
greater
than
the
actual
weight
-
e.g.
a
parcel
that
doesn't
weigh
much)
Note:
For
parcels
over
1kg
that
are
square
or
rectangular
in
shape,
the
cubic
weight
is
used
if
this
is
greater
than
the
actual
weight.
Australia
Post
will
assess
charges
according
to
their
actual
weight
or
cubic
weight
equivalent,
whichever
is
greater.
The
cubic
weight
is
the
parcel's
volume
in
cubic
metres
multiplied
by
250.
e.g.
a
parcel
measuring
40cm
long
(0.4m)
x
20cm
high
(0.2m)
x
30cm
wide
(0.3m)
is
equal
to
0.024
cubic
metres.
The
cubic
volume
multiplied
by
a
conversion
factor
of
250 gives the
cubic
weight
of
6kg,
i.e.
0.4
x
0.2
x
0.3
=
0.024
x
250
=
6kg.
