AusPost Christmas Cut-off Dates 2025

 

Christmas cut-off dates from Auspost

Last year Auspost delivered almost 103 million parcels to customers during November and December. We recommend sending your Christmas parcels as early as possible, and by the cut-off dates below, to help us get them there in time for Christmas Day. We’ll deliver items sent after these dates as quickly as we can, but they may not arrive until after Christmas.

For Parcel Post items lodged over the counter, there is a 2.30pm cut-off time.
