From our China consolidation warehouse to your front door in Australia — final delivery by Australia Post.

✎ 77 Freight Transport   ·   📍 China → Australia   ·   ⏱ 7 min read

Most freight quotes stop at the port or the depot. Ours doesn’t. Your supplier sends your goods to our consolidation warehouse in China — from there, for $10.99 per kilogram, we fly it to Australia, clear customs, and hand the final leg to Australia Post, who deliver it to your actual door.

One rate. One point of contact. No surprise charges waiting at the end.

Getting goods to our warehouse: Your supplier ships to our China consolidation warehouse — a standard domestic delivery within China that most factories arrange as routine. We provide the address and a reference to mark on the cartons. If your supplier genuinely can’t arrange freight, we can collect from them for an additional fee.

Why Australia Post for the Final Leg?

The last leg of an import is where most freight services quietly fall over. Depot pick-up only. Metro postcodes only. Business-hours delivery to a commercial address only. If you’re a small business, a home-based seller, or you’re shipping outside a capital city, that’s a real problem.

Australia Post solves it, because it goes everywhere.

✅ Nationwide reach

Metro, regional, and rural addresses across every state and territory — not just capital cities.

✅ Residential-friendly

Home addresses are standard, not an exception with a surcharge attached.

✅ Tracked end to end

You can follow the parcel through the final leg, not just to a warehouse.

✅ No depot collection

You don’t drive anywhere. It comes to you.

How it’s allocated: Parcels of 20 kg and under are delivered by Australia Post as standard. Heavier consignments go via freight carrier — including our own fleet across South East Queensland, with tail-lift available for bulky items where the delivery site has no loading dock.

Consolidation: Multiple Suppliers, One Shipment

Buying from three different suppliers in China? You don’t need three separate freight bookings, three sets of customs paperwork, and three delivery dates.

Have each supplier ship to our China warehouse. We hold your goods until everything arrives, combine them into a single shipment, and clear it as one consignment.

Without Consolidation With Consolidation
Separate freight charge per supplier One combined chargeable weight
Multiple customs entries Single clearance
Parcels arriving on different days One delivery, one day
Chasing three tracking numbers One shipment to follow
Half-empty cartons paying volumetric weight Repacked efficiently — often reducing chargeable weight

Consolidation works especially well if you:

✅ Source from several suppliers on the same platform or in the same region

✅ Place small, frequent orders rather than one large one

✅ Are testing multiple products at once before choosing what to scale

✅ Keep receiving cartons that are half air — we can repack them properly

What $10.99/kg Is Calculated On

Air freight is charged on chargeable weight — whichever is higher between actual weight and volumetric weight. This matters most for bulky, lightweight goods.

Volumetric Weight
L (cm) × W (cm) × H (cm) ÷ 6000
Charged on the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight, at $10.99/kg

So a dense 15 kg carton of hardware is charged at 15 kg. A 60 × 50 × 50 cm box of cushions weighing 8 kg is charged at 25 kg, because that’s the space it occupies on the aircraft.

Also worth knowing: Import duty and GST are assessed separately by Australian Border Force based on the value of your goods — these aren’t part of the freight rate. If you’re GST-registered, GST on imports is generally claimable. And if your shipment is large, heavy, or not time-critical, ask us about sea freight instead — it starts from $2/kg.

Who This Service Suits

Restock fast without holding a container’s worth of inventory.

First-time importers

Regional & rural buyers

Australia Post reaches addresses most freight carriers won’t.

“A freight quote that stops at the depot isn’t really a quote — it’s half of one. Door to door means the number you’re given is the number you pay.”

From a Queensland Online Seller

“We order from four suppliers. They all send to 77’s warehouse in China, it comes over as one shipment, clears once, and Australia Post drops it at our door. We stopped driving to depots months ago.”
