Whats the best way to send something to Australia?
I need to send a gift (big box) to someone there as quickly and reasonably as possible.

1. My partner's daughter lives there
and we always use Global Priority through UPS, but it's not cheap. It cost us about $40 last time.

Regular mail would probably be cheaper, but it would take much longer.

9. If it's charitable in nature, you might call one of the big airlines
that does regular flights there. Explain the wish and see if they'll give you a break on a most expeditious delivery.

8. We have friends in Queensland.
Miz t. sent their Christmas box off last week.
About 1' cube.
Cost $35 by USPS.
She says it would have to go by air now to make it in time.
