How can I send a gift to my cousin in Melbourne city in Australia? Is it good to send it by General Post or any other courier service? what are the charges for it?

contact network marketing company online, they will delivery quality products to your destination. I know one Malaysian company. If interested, let me know, I will give you their contact details.

well DHL and fedex are way more expensive comparing with General Post. Once i had to send 4KG parcel from Doha to Norway. I checked with DHL and they estimate the cost around QR1300 and would take 2days. I checked with GeneralPost they estimate around QR280 with 4days deliverytime. I chose General Post and it took 6days(+weekends) but goods arrived there safely. Now its upto you how urgent you want to send.

hope that gives an idea.

Hi,

I regularly send parcels home to my parents and friends in Sydney, Australia.

I use the Mumtaz Post section of Q Post. The office on Airport road is one that has Mumtaz Post (not all Q Post branches offer the service).

It's cheaper and slower than the courier services, takes around 10 days but so far has been very reliable.

Good luck!
