The Kookaburra Post is our specialist provider,  delivering love from home, wherever they roam.

THE KOOKABURRA POST

They are Australia’s most joyful birds and love gift-giving – just like you!

Nothing makes them more pleased than seeing the smile on the recipients face when they receive their special present from you.

In fact, it makes them so happy they break out into their well known laugh… koo koo koo ka ka ka ka!!!!!

A bit like the Hogwarts Express, the Kookaburra workers of the Kookaburra Post gather every weekday afternoon from the rooftops of our warehouse, 5/1 Fortiutude Crescent, Burleigh Heads, QLD 4220.

They gather all our carefully packaged parcels and take off across Australia and around the world, delivering them with care.

They love making sure they get where they’re supposed to go and feed live tracking information into our main frame systems!

Please see below for specific policies relating to Australian and International deliveries.

The Kookaburra Post sends within Australia, as well as to the USA, UK, Japan, Canada,Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore and the Philippines.

LOCAL PICKUP FROM OUR WAREHOUSE

• You are welcome to pick up deliveries from our warehouse on the Gold Coast: Shed 5/1 Fortitude Crescent, Burleigh Heads Q4220.

• If you choose this option, it’s free – please choose the option at checkout, and you will receive an email letting you know from what time your gift will be ready. Warehouse opening hours for collecting gifts is generally 9am-4pm Monday – Friday and 9:30am – 11am Saturdays; however please wait for our email confirmation, as there may be exceptions.

• Please note we do not have a shop-front and are an online only business. If you choose to collect your gifts from our warehouse, they will be left at reception to pick up – there is no general browsing of stock in our working warehouse environment.

EXPRESS DELIVERY TO ANY AUSTRALIAN ADDRESS

If you live in a metro area and want next-day delivery, order before 10AM AEDST and choose express delivery.
Depending on where you are based, we generally use DHL Express or Australia Post Express for express delivery at a flat rate of $20 for any parcel, anywhere in Australia

• If ordering before 10am AEDST we will endeavour to dispatch express deliveries on the same day from our Gold Coast headquarters
• Delivery timing for express is ‘next day’ if ordered before 10am AEDST for metro areas (i.e. ares in main metro area of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin and Perth)  and outside Tasmania. Please not this is not guaranteed and may be longer in busy periods like Christmas.
• Please also note, Australia Post now automatically adds an additional day to their estimated delivery date on Express Post parcels. In our experience, this is not correct if you are within an Australia Post ‘Next Day Delivery Guarantee’ area. See here for the Next Day Delivery Guarantee information from Australia Post.
• Regional, Rural and Tasmanian addresses will take 1-3 days longer than standard express.
• In some circumstances beyond our control, delivery may be delayed. We cannot be held responsible for these instances, for example in extreme weather events or at busy Christmas periods.  We will, however, do all we can to investigate and resolve this on your behalf.
