Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you have experience with shipping from Australia to Europe? And what courier would you recommend? I have good experience with DHL Express but never imported something out of Australia.
Would Appreciate any advice

I tend to use Australia Post express international with tracking and signature on delivery. Auspost is very reliable and solid as well as affordable and most European countries on the receiving end have high quality domestic mail services also.

Thank you! Then I will do that. And If I go with the Australia Post option, with tracking and signature, is it better/safer to go with insurance? Or does that make the package more of a target for theft etc.

Australia Post or DHL 👍

As above haven’t had a issue with Aus Post shipped like Ash above described.
Tip….Use the biggest box you can even if it’s a bit extra.

I also used both Australia Post and DHL and both works very good. Of course DHL have a higher price, work faster but you will have to pay attention at custom declaration..

Thank you for sharing your experience. What exactly do you mean by paying attention at custom decleration?
