To metro areas like Melbourne, yes. Courier post can be more expensive purely for the fact they don't service a certain area and therefore raise the price to cover the extra effort they go to, to get out there. Express is the only option in which your order processed quicker and shipped out by an express service - generally via Australia Post. All others are standard shipping times, rough guesses of these times are given at the checkout. Please remember these times don't include processing times which are listed above.
