Have sold an item on eBay but the buyer is from Malaysia, anybody know a cheaper alternative then Aus Post?
Is There Anybody Cheaper than Australia Post - to Send Item to Malaysia?

I did investigate this and couldn't find anything else other then Auspost. So I based my sale on that information, but if anybody knows some where else to get it cheaper, I am all ears. But thanks for your comment.
Still better to do it beforehand. You would have gotten more bidding activity if you could list the actual (+fee percentage) postage cost that you intended to use.
I didn't think of putting up those details to entice international buyers, will know for next time. Thank you :)
Depending on the cost of the item you are sending you could try sendle
Thanks! I had no idea about this courier service, they seem cheap.
interparcel.com.au
Might be cheaper to wait for some cheap flights and take it yourself. Enjoy your trip to Malaysia. I hear the Laksa is amazing.
Would it fit in a boogie board bag?
I'm selling a bunch of things on ebay at the moment and sending internationally via Sendle.
Much cheaper than Auspost, never had any issues. Im fairly sure it goes through DHL anyway.Do they pickup from you? Unfortunately my home isn't listed as a possible pickup location.
Yeah they do, its literally the only negative about it. Maybe try typing the address differently? If its in a metro area they will pick it up..
For domestic parcels they allow you to drop off at news agencies etc, but not for International consignments…Good to know about domestic parcels! I have a relative I can drop it off too for this international delivery, im assuming they can pick it up if you leave it out the front?
@m0tyrider: Well they actually claim that they need to see some ID for the first 3 international consignments, I havent been asked for ID once..
I didn't know you could use Sendle to post internationally, thanks for the info
Yeah its a new addition to their service. Quite cheap for smaller parcels.
Couldn't you say you did not want to sell the item internationally (you made a mistake), you only wanted to sell it in Oz. Refund the money then relist the item on eBay
You should have investigated this before you made the listing and decided on how much to charge for international postage.
