I'm getting ready to send a present to someone in Australia

[Donk Yore]

at the end of the address, do I need more than:

Cairns, QLD 4870


Do I need to add Australia or something?

Serious.

1. i'm not kidding

do I need to add Au or something?

thanks

I'm giving someone a laptop, and this is the only address they gave me. do I need to add Australia or something at the end?

Please, if you have info, let me know. I don't want it returned because I didn't put enough info on the box.

2. Yes, add Australia

I don't think a lot people in American post offices know what the adresses look like in Australia. You always add the country.

3. thanks

is that all I have to do?

I've never sent a package to another country before.

6. Ask the people at the post office

and Allegro just mentioned the declaration. He is right, don't forget that.

8. thanks

the people at this post office haven't probably had to deal with mail farther away than the next county, so that's why I was asking for info.

Thanks to you and all!

4. I would do it like this

Mr./Ms. Whoever
Street Address
CAIRNS, QLD 4870
AUSTRALIA

5. dont forget to fill out a customs declarations form

its a small green form at the post office, that says whats in the package and how much its worth.

7. thanks

I wouldn't have ever thought of that
