Sending presents to Australia

9 replies

Hi, we wanted to send Xmas presents to our several nieces and nephews in Australia and wondered if anyone could advise us the best way to do this without huge delivery charges. Last year we used Amazon UK but of course delivery was expensive.

Is there an Australian online toy shop that we could order from in the UK, for example? I suppose the kind of presents we are after would be books/crafty things/Lego/Playmobil (the kids are aged 2 up to 9)

Many thanks in advance!

Marks and Spencer are doing free delivery to OZ / NZ with £30 spend, could be an option?

Toysrus Australia have an online shop. Also target and Kmart have online shopping. You could also try Myers and david jones which are Australian department stores with online shopping. The book depository always does free shipping to Australia but delivery can be patchy, even on the same order things come separately but much cheaper than buying books in oz.

Agree with Pinnhart. Also try Big W. M&S, Next and I think maybe Debenhams do free delivery to Australia. There is a great toy shop here called Kidstuff (May only be in Sydney though?) and I'm sure they do online.

Oh oh! We just got a gift from everythingbutflowers.com.au
Have in idea what it is but just went online and they have lots of lovely stuff!

Hardtofind.com.au is a bit like notonthehighstreet if you wanted quirky

Pretty sure there's an Amazon Australia, my dh orders stuff for his family that's delivered locally there. Sorry I can't be more precise but he always does it!

Www.peedeetoys.com.au had some nice Lego sets.

Don't think there is an Aussie amazon as I got my Mum who lives there a Kindle last year and had to register it to the US site.

Vouchers, photos? easy to send

No amazon Australia but I second m&s. I used them this year and it's the first year I haven't had to stress.
