customs forms. No post office line.

## The $1.70-or-$53 Problem

USPS gives you two choices for mailing a letter or document to Australia: $1.70 
USD untracked, with no delivery guarantee and no tracking, or $53+ USD tracked, 
plus customs forms. There is nothing in between.

PostMyDoc gives you a better option: tracked delivery to any Australian address 
from $8.00 USD, delivered in 3-7 business days. No customs paperwork required. Your
PDF crosses as data; we print and post it inside Australia, so it arrives as ordinary
domestic mail.

Only the data crosses the Pacific. **We print and mail it there.**

## USPS vs PostMyDoc: Mailing a Letter to Australia

Here is how the three USPS international services stack up against having PostMyDoc**
print and post your letter inside Australia**. The fine print lives in the notes
under the table.

  |  Compare |  USPSFirst-Class International |  USPSPriority Mail International |  USPSPriority Mail Express International |  PostMyDocStandard |  PostMyDocStandard + Tracking |  PostMyDocExpress + Tracking |  
   |  Price |  $1.70 USD |  $53 USD |  $89.20 USD |  $7.00 USD |  $8.00 USD |  $14.00 USD |  
 |  Delivery |  7-21+ business days (no guarantee) |  6-10 business days |  3-5 business days |  3-7 business days |  3-7 business days |  Next business day most metro, 2-3 business days regional, 3-5 business days rural |  
 |  Tracking |  No |  Yes |  Yes |  No |  Yes |  Yes |  
 |  Customs form |  No (letters only) |  Yes: required |  Yes: required |  No: domestic mail |  No: domestic mail |  No: domestic mail |  
 |  Includes |  Stamp only |  Flat rate envelope postage + insurance |  Flat rate envelope postage + insurance |  Everything |  Everything |  Everything |

USPS prices shown are for flat rate envelopes to Australia (Price Group 6). Delivery
timeframes are estimates; actual days may vary based on origin, destination, and
customs delays. Priority Mail International 6-10 business day timeframe is not available
for Flat Rate Envelopes or Small Flat Rate Boxes.

PostMyDoc prices include everything: document preparation, envelope, postage via
Australia Post, and same business day dispatch. No customs forms required; your 
document enters Australia’s postal system as domestic mail.

Postal rates sourced from USPS official pricing, April 2026. Rates may change.

There’s a ~$51 USD gap between USPS untracked ($1.70 USD) and USPS tracked ($53 
USD). **PostMyDoc fills that gap**: tracked delivery from $8.00 USD, with 3-7 business
day domestic delivery that’s faster than either USPS option.

Every USPS Priority item to Australia requires a customs form (PS Form 2976-A). **
PostMyDoc doesn’t**, because your document enters Australia’s postal system as domestic
mail.

USPS Priority Express costs $89.20 USD with 3-5 business day delivery. **PostMyDoc
Express** costs $14.00 USD with next business day delivery to most Australian metro
areas.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a customs form?

No. Your document enters Australia’s postal system as domestic mail; no customs 
documentation required. All USPS Priority Mail items to Australia require customs
forms (PS Form 2976-A inside PS Form 2976-E envelope).

How much does it cost to mail a letter to Australia?

Through USPS, a First-Class International letter to Australia is $1.70 USD in stamps,
untracked, with no delivery guarantee and 7-21+ business days in transit. The cheapest
tracked USPS option is Priority Mail International at $53 USD. PostMyDoc sits in
the gap: from $7.00 USD untracked or $8.00 USD fully tracked, delivered in 3-7 business
days. No stamps, no post office trip; you upload a PDF and we mail it inside Australia.

Why is tracked delivery so much cheaper through PostMyDoc?

USPS has no affordable tracked letter option to Australia. Their cheapest tracked
service (Priority Mail International) starts at $53 USD for a flat rate envelope.
PostMyDoc offers tracked domestic delivery from $8.00 USD because your document 
enters Australia’s postal system locally; it never travels internationally as physical
mail.

How does payment work?

You pay in US dollars at checkout via Stripe. No conversion fees, no surprises on
your statement.

Do I need an account?

No. Upload your PDF, enter the recipient’s Australian address, pay, and we take 
care of the rest. No account to create and no password to remember.

Is my document secure?

Yes. Every document is encrypted in transit, printed once for dispatch, and permanently
deleted within 24 hours under our [Burn After Reading Policy](https://postmydoc.au/burn-after-reading/).

What file types can I send?

PDF only. If your document is in Word, Pages, or another format, export or “Save
as” PDF before uploading.
