Can I track my parcel?

Yes. Use the Track My Parcel section on the Mi Office website and select the relevant courier provider.

What is volumetric weight?

Courier companies consider both the actual weight of a parcel and the space it occupies and uses whichever is greatest. A large, lightweight parcel may therefore be charged according to its volumetric rather than actual weight.

Can Mi Office package my parcel?

Yes. We can help pack and protect your shipment, and we stock packaging materials including boxes, postal tubes, Mailite envelopes, tape, bubble wrap and other packaging accessories.

Can I buy packaging without sending a parcel?

Yes. Packaging materials can also be purchased separately.

Can I insure my courier parcel?

Yes, Insurance or limited liability cover may be available for qualifying courier shipments, depending on the service and contents. Ask us about cover before sending high-value items.

Are there items I cannot send by courier?

Yes. Courier companies have prohibited and restricted items. These can vary for domestic and international shipments. Tell our staff what you are sending so we can advise you before accepting the shipment.

What time must I bring my parcel in for same-day dispatch?

Cut-off times vary between branches and courier services. As a general guideline, bring your parcel in before 3pm on a working day, but confirm with your branch for the applicable daily cut-off.

What is a main centre or an outlying area?

Main centres are major metropolitan or established delivery areas. Outlying areas are destinations outside the courier's normal main-centre network and may take longer or attract different charges.

Can I use Mi Office as a collection or delivery point?

Selected collection and parcel-receiving options are available. Please check with your nearest branch before using its address for an incoming shipment.
