Australia Post collection, by the numbers
The same terms at every participating outlet, in the city or the country.
Where you can collect
Your local post office is our counter. You pick the participating outlet, we do the rest.
Any participating Australia Post outlet, chosen by you at checkout
Money2Travel is an online currency exchange, so every order is collected in person at Australia Post. Collection runs through their network of more than 4,000 participating outlets, right across Australia. Enter the post code or suburb you want to collect from at checkout, home, work, or a relative's place, and the participating outlets nearest it are listed for you to choose from.
The network covers every state and territory: capital-city post offices, the suburbs and regional and country towns. If your town has a participating outlet, the checkout will show it. For a state-by-state view and the collection areas in each capital, see our Locations page; Sydney has its own page covering the CBD, the suburbs and the airport.

Is this the same as buying foreign cash from Australia Post?
No. Australia Post sells its own foreign cash over the counter. When you order from Money2Travel, the post office is your collection point, not the seller and three things change.

Choose your currency and amount at our online exclusive rate, enter your post code or suburb at checkout, pick one of the participating Australia Post outlets listed near you and pay by PayID or Bank Transfer. We send your cash to that outlet and email and SMS you the moment it is ready to collect.

Enter the post code or suburb you want to collect from and the nearest participating outlets are listed for you to choose from.
How long does it take for my order to reach Australia Post?
Typically 2-4 business days from payment, depending on the Australia Post location you choose, so order about a week before you fly. You do not need to keep checking, we email and SMS you, with tracking details, the moment your cash arrives at the outlet and is ready to collect.
What does it cost to collect foreign currency at Australia Post?
A $10 AUD shipping fee applies to delivered orders, shown before you pay and nothing else. The rate you lock in online is the rate you get and the fee is the same whichever participating outlet you choose, in a capital city or a country town. Orders start at AU$500 in foreign currency equivalent, up to AU$5,000 per 24 hours.
What ID do I need to collect my order from Australia Post?
The same valid photo ID you used when ordering, such as a driver licence or passport, plus your order confirmation email, on your phone or printed. Only the person named on the order can collect it, so place the order in the traveller's own name, exactly as it appears on their ID.
Can someone else pick up my order from Australia Post for me?
No. For security, only the person named on the order can collect it, with their own photo ID and the confirmation email. If you are buying cash for a partner or a family member, place the order in their name so that the details match the ID they will show at the counter.
How long do I have to collect my cash from Australia Post?
7 days from the email and SMS telling you it is ready. The collection date itself cannot be changed once the order is placed, so choose an outlet you can reach comfortably within that window, such as one near home or on your way to work.
Is this the same as buying foreign currency over the counter at Australia Post?
No. Australia Post sells its own foreign cash at participating post offices. With Money2Travel you order online first and lock in our online exclusive rate and the participating outlet is simply where you collect it. The order is ours, the rate is ours and the post office is the pick-up point.
Can I choose the denominations of the cash I collect?
No. Orders are packed with mixed denominations, depending on what is available in that currency. If you have a preference, such as smaller notes for taxis and markets, add it in the Requirements field in your cart when you order and we will do our best to accommodate it.
