Hi Everyone
Is anyone know cheapest shipping services from Australia to China through Air, like DHL, UPS, Fedex for business or personal?

Not sure if this applies to Victoria, but in Sydney, you can actually send stuff back to China in chinese 'souvenier shops'. You typically find them in either chinatown or suburbs with fair amount of chinese population.
They generally are the ones that sell UGG boots, aussie touristy stuff, milk powder and supplements of sorts. You will see a lot of sealed packages if they provide mailing service. They have their own chinese courier connections so it's generally cheaper than Auspost or dhl etc.If the item is high value then I won't recommend them because sometimes some items in a package can 'mysteriously' disappear although this typically happen to milk powder. An option to consider :)Hurstville has them too. Basically long story short is they ship all the items back to china in bulk (shipping container?) then throw it into the mailing system when it arrives in china such that it is a domestic parcel.
chemist warehouse at hurstville has been offering this service too!
Have you used them before?
@shadow131:
sorry cant say i have, but lots of people do it, seen it at other chemist warehouse too, chatswoodThanks to all for replies, well that's interesting Chemist Warehouse has such system, I thought they only sell health products
I could be wrong, afaik, chemist warehouse will only ship their own products, ie. you buy from them and they'll send it for you.
but you can't bring your package in and ask them to ship it for you.The reason they do it is because vitamins, fish oils, supplements, baby supplies such as medicine and formula are notoriously bad quality/fake in China. So much countrified stuff.
As a ABC in AU, we have cheap and trusted products. Chinese people sending supplies back to China are probably the biggest consumers of their products. I've see my family send back tonnes of supplements for their parents and relatives.
tonnes as in in the $500 or more at once.
Cheapest I know is $6.5/kg in Hurstville at a souvenir shop opp club central. Most places are usually 7
Well it's definatley not DHL. It probably varies in regard to the size of the object you are trying to post. On all of their respective websites there will be a postage calculator that should give you a good idea. Don't discount aust post.
