- Parcel Post: Domestic parcels are delivered in 2+ business days; distance & remoteness change timings. Ranges reflect typical Melbourne → state timeframes.
- Express Post: Next business day applies when both origin & destination are inside the Express Post next‑business‑day network. Otherwise Express is still faster but not guaranteed.
- Remote Islands: Some destinations can require significantly longer on standard services.
- Disruptions: Weather & operational updates may affect timeframes.
