Shipping swords to Australia
Shipping swords by USPS
We use USPS for international shipping. Regular shipping cost for an average sword: USD40-80.
Max allowed length of package is 42 inches.
We can use Global Express for sword packages 42-46 inches but price will be about USD200 in this case.
Impossible to deliver packages over 46″.
Possible solutions:
1. Global Express (increased shipping fee).
2. ship to friend/family, if you have, in New Zealand. Ask them to forward your package to Australia. This will decrease your price.
Warning: Investigate your local law before you buy a sword. Some swords may be prohibited in your area. We cannot refund money for confiscated products.

Will swords be able to come into Victoria??
1. USPS: We can but package container must be up to 42″ lenght, this means sword must be slightly shorter(price is USD40-80 per sword).
2. We can use other shipping services than USPS, allowing longer packages but price is usually USD150-350 per sword.
Its usually worth putting as many details as possible on packing orders too. I know Australian customs are quite strict on such goods so they may hold it if something is missing. The import restrictions may differ from state to state. It’d be interesting to see the difference in difficulty if bringing a sword with compared to shipping it?
