Why not find an Australian site and send from there? Etsy lets you change country

Your best bet is a local site or voucher by email.

We lived in the US 15 years ago and when I asked about last posting dates for parcels to the at the US post office they said it was the same apart from days when they were closed like Christmas Day, Thanksgiving and New Years. The items we posted back via US postal service on our return to the UK arrived quicker than the 2 we used a courier for. I wonder how many other countries are like this?

Is there any country expect maybe the most impoverished that doesn't have Amazon?

How is that a surprise 😂

Lots of countries don’t have Amazon! Australia has only had it since 2017

Definitely don’t try sending anything from the UK , I sent a parcel to Florida on Dec 1st on priority delivery and it has only been delivered today .

I've found the Aussie Amazon not that great, but there are plenty of Australian toy websites that will do the job.

I've used Toy World Australia before and also The Book Depository which I think is worldwide, and ship to Oz.

FYI with Amazon, just type into Google Amazon Australia and choose the .au site, you can then log in with your usual credentials which will be linked to you usual payment account.

Ooh the book depository is a good shout!
