Small volume of shipments under 20kg I haven't found anything more convenient or cost effective than australia post. Over 20kg I've tried a few - Star Track Express was one I think. Air Road Direct perhaps another. Hard to remember now, they are far and few between.
AAE is good but for me it means travelling to their airport depot if I have it delivered to home and am not there. Not sure if you can send once-off things with them or if you need an account?
I once enquired with DHL and they seemed strangely expensive. I figured I must've got quoted the wrong thing but it was too much trouble to sort out so didn't try, just went elsewhere.
Australia post don't do fragile, so that might be a reason you need to go elsewhere also.
I have used Pack & Send, they were helpful and friendly, and did a good job of packing an item which was too big and awkward for me to find packaging for. I think they charge appropriately for their service, which is more than you would pay packing it yourself and sending it through some other courier.
