Australia Student Semester Shipping: What to Send Before School Starts

What to ship first

Urgent clothing, documents, textbooks, adapters, basic bedding and daily essentials should be prioritised for air freight.

Heavy bedding, backup clothes, books, kitchenware and storage products can be shipped earlier by sea freight.

Timing and cost planning

If school starts soon, protect delivery time for essentials rather than placing everything into sea freight.

Consolidating Taobao, Pinduoduo and JD orders at the China warehouse gives more route choices.

Customs and delivery reminders

Food, medicine, supplements, liquids, powders and battery goods should be checked before mixing with regular luggage.

Student accommodation needs room number, building details, access information, postcode and Australian phone number.
