Send a Letter to the UK From Australia
Upload or write your letter online — we print it and post it inside the UK via Royal Mail. No printer. No stamps. No post office. And the time difference does not slow you down.
Why people in Australia use PostRight
Need to post a letter to someone in the UK, but you live in Australia? Sending it the normal way is slow. Airmail can take one to two weeks, and it costs a lot. PostRight does it a better way. You upload your letter, or write one online. We print it and post it for you inside the UK, using Royal Mail. So it arrives fast — just like a letter posted down the road.
Australia is about 9 to 11 hours ahead of the UK. But that does not slow you down. There is nothing for you to post yourself. A letter you write tonight can be on its way in the UK tomorrow.
Lots of people in Australia still have things to sort out in Britain — British people who moved to Australia, or Australians who lived, studied or worked in the UK. Much of this still needs a paper letter, and posting it from so far away is the hard part. PostRight takes the distance away.
Reasons people in Australia write to the UK
Common situations where a real posted letter is still needed:
A frozen UK pension
If you get a UK State Pension and live in Australia, it is "frozen" — it does not go up each year. Lots of people write to the DWP about this.
A UK student loan
If you studied in the UK and now live in Australia, you need to keep the Student Loans Company updated about what you earn. This often means sending forms by post.
Getting UK tax back
If you left the UK after a working holiday, or for good, you might have paid too much tax. Claiming it back often means posting a form to HMRC.
A home, a will, or family papers
Property, estate matters, or family documents in the UK still need a real letter — and posting from Australia the normal way is slow and expensive.
Also: a UK bank account you need to close or sort out, or any other situation where a real letter to a UK address is needed.
