Australia Post Christmas dates 2026, from WA
Australia Post's 2026 Parcel Post cut-offs from WA: Mon 14 December to the NT, Wed 16 December to Tasmania, Thu 17 December to Queensland, and Fri 18 December to NSW, the ACT, Victoria and South Australia. Within WA, and Express Post from WA, it's Tue 22 December. Those are metro dates, and Australia Post says to allow extra time outside a metro area, so check Australia Post's Christmas sending dates and order well ahead. The maker still has to pack it and send it.
Family interstate? These makers say on their own sites that they post Australia-wide: Capricopia, Farm Fresh Truffles, Gabriel Chocolate, Margaret River Roasting Co, Moon Haven, Obison Coffee Roasters, Olio Bello, Soap Suds & Oils, Vasse Virgin, Yahava KoffeeWorks. Margaret River Food Company posts on request and quotes the postage. The "Family you'll post to" list above sticks to these makers.
Left it late? Vasse Virgin sells an eGift card, and Truffle Hill and Gabriel Chocolate sell gift cards too. Truffle Hill and Vasse Virgin both have ready-made gift packs, and Bahen & Co will add a handwritten note when you send a bar as a gift.
For everyone else, check the maker's site or ask them. And if it isn't Christmas you're shopping for, our South West gift guide sorts the same makers for the rest of the year.
Christmas questions
Is this a Christmas hamper service?
No. We're an independent guide to makers in the South West of Western Australia, and we don't sell anything. Every gift here links to the maker's own site, and you order from the maker directly.
When is the last posting day for Christmas gifts from WA in 2026?
Earlier than you think. Australia Post's 2026 Parcel Post cut-offs from WA are Mon 14 December to the NT, Wed 16 December to Tasmania, Thu 17 December to Queensland, and Fri 18 December to NSW, the ACT, Victoria and South Australia. Within WA, and Express Post from WA, it's Tue 22 December. Those are metro dates, and Australia Post says to allow extra time outside a metro area. Check Australia Post's Christmas sending dates (we read them on 1 November 2026), then leave the maker time to pack and send before the cut-off. We didn't find a Christmas order-by date on the makers' sites we checked, so if timing is tight, ask the maker.
Which South West makers post Australia-wide?
On their own sites, these 10 say they do: Capricopia, Farm Fresh Truffles, Gabriel Chocolate, Margaret River Roasting Co, Moon Haven, Obison Coffee Roasters, Olio Bello, Soap Suds & Oils, Vasse Virgin and Yahava KoffeeWorks. Margaret River Food Company posts on request and quotes the postage. Corrynne's Natural Skincare sends its orders from Dunsborough by Australia Post. Pick "Family you'll post to" above for gifts from these makers. For anyone else, check the maker's site.
What's a good Secret Santa gift from the South West?
Something small that still looks chosen: cranberry and pistachio nougat from Bettenays, a jar of Truffle Hill's truffle salt, or chocolate fudge from Margaret River Fudge Factory. Pick "Secret Santa" above for the rest, or see our Secret Santa gift ideas made in WA, sorted by who you drew.
Any stocking fillers from the South West?
Plenty of small things fit: flat chocolate bars, lip balm, soap and loose-leaf tea. Our stocking fillers made in WA sorts them for her, for him and for kids, with picks that won't melt in December.
What can I give a teacher at the end of the year?
Something to share in the staffroom, or a small thing to keep, like a candle or a jar of honey. Our end-of-year teacher gifts from WA makers has picks for teachers, aides and office staff, plus order dates that beat the last day of term.
What can I bring to Christmas lunch?
Something for the table: Providore's chilli and lemon olives, grown on its Margaret River property, Temper Temper's chocolate almonds for after pudding, or a hand-poured Celestial Salts candle. Pick "Whoever's hosting lunch" above for more.
Any ideas for work thank-yous?
Coffee, tea and chocolate suit most offices. Gabriel Chocolate's Premium Selection is twelve bars chosen by its chocolate maker, Yahava's Kahava also comes in a refillable tin, and Seven Seas Tea hand-blends loose-leaf in Cowaramup for the tea drinkers.
Where can I buy local Christmas gifts in person?
Our guide to South West market days, town by town shows where to find local stallholders and makers in person. Days and times change, so check the market's own page before you go.
Can I carry South West honey or olive oil on a plane?
Rules for liquids and gels differ between cabin and checked bags, and they can change. Our guide to taking honey and olive oil on a plane explains what applies in Australia. Check with your airline before you fly.
