Secure delivery (Registered Post)

When you are sending valuable or important documents within Australia or internationally, Registered Post gives you an added level of security.

Benefits of using Registered Post

Registered Post gives you:

  • proof that the article was sent (when lodged at the post office counter)
  • proof that the article was received - a signature is obtained on delivery
  • a unique identification number for every article
  • compensation for loss or damage of the article up to $100 for a standard registered delivery.

Optional services (additional fees apply)

  • Delivery confirmation - a card is returned to you with the recipient's signature.
  • Person-to-person delivery* - your mail will be delivered to the addressee (only available within Australia).
  • Extra Cover up to $5,000 (only available within Australia).

Please note: All Registered Post articles must be lodged over the counter at an Australia Post retail outlet for proof of posting.  If they are posted in gold or street posting boxes they will not have proof of posting and may be subject to delays.

Costs

Our Registered Post service is priced from $2.70 and depends on the type of service you require.  Significant discounts are available for purchasing prepaid envelopes, labels and International padded bags.
