Own courier

Arrange your own courier to collect from our Thomastown warehouse and avoid delivery charges entirely.

Shipping costs are based on your location and the weight of your order — either dead weight or cubic weight, whichever is greater. See the cubic weight section below for a full explanation.

📦 Understanding Cubic Weight

Couriers charge based on either the dead weight or the cubic weight of your order — whichever is greater. Understanding cubic weight can help you anticipate your shipping costs accurately.

What is cubic weight?

Cubic weight is calculated from the external dimensions of the carton we ship your order in — not the weight of the products themselves. Convert your dimensions to metres, then apply the formula:

Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m) × 250 = Cubic Weight (kg)

Your shipping cost is based on whichever is higher — the actual weight or the cubic weight.

Real example: A carton measuring 50cm × 50cm × 50cm converts to 0.50m × 0.50m × 0.50m = 0.125m³. Multiply by 250 = 31.25kg cubic weight. If the actual contents only weigh 5kg, shipping is still charged at 31.25kg. This is standard practice across all Australian couriers and is not something PackQueen controls.

Our website calculates cubic weight automatically when you enter your postcode at checkout — so you always know your shipping cost before you pay.

Shipping costs are calculated automatically on our website. You can check the estimated cost on each product page by entering your postcode, or by adding items to your cart before checkout. Costs are based on your location and the dead weight or cubic weight of your order — whichever is greater.
For Australian deliveries we use Direct Freight, StarTrack, and Australia Post. For international orders we use DHL and Australia Post International. The courier available to you will be shown at checkout based on your delivery address.
Once your order is dispatched, you'll receive a confirmation email containing a consignment tracking number. Use this number to track your delivery directly with the courier at any time.
We strongly recommend using a business address. If delivering to a home address, please note that by placing your order you agree to an automatic authority to leave if no one is present at the time of delivery. You can add delivery instructions at checkout (e.g. "leave at front door"), however couriers are unable to contact you before delivery or deliver at a specific time. Please do not use a PO Box — our couriers require a physical street address.
First, track your delivery using the consignment number in your dispatch notification email — it may already be out for delivery. If you're still concerned after checking the tracking, contact us at info@packqueen.com.au or call 03 8689 9344 and our team will investigate with the courier on your behalf.
Large orders are sometimes split across multiple cartons which may be delivered separately. Check your tracking using the consignment number in your dispatch email — the remaining cartons may already be on their way. If missing items don't arrive or you need help, contact us at info@packqueen.com.au or call 03 8689 9344.

Couriers charge based on either dead weight or cubic weight — whichever is greater. Cubic weight is calculated from the dimensions of the outer carton we ship your order in, not the weight of the products. Packaging products are often bulky relative to their weight, which means cubic weight frequently exceeds dead weight. This is standard industry practice across all Australian couriers.
