Australia Post Business - Lower Shipping Costs

[tacti_shop]

The shipping cost with Australia Post has become too expensive for me. I am only on discount Band 1 and I'd would like to help one another change that.

Australia Post offers the option for Business accounts to invite team members (under the "Business Details" option. My understanding is that the discount band is determined by the number of parcels sent by the entire team. The process to add a new team member is very simple: add name, surname, email.

I'd like to partner with other sellers so we get a better discount on Australia Post. I know this has been done by other sellers, however I can't find the posts now.

Are you interested?

I have heard of it being done,  but as gutter says it is against the T&C's.

But also have known of issues,  as the accounting becomes very difficult, in particular if parcels go through which Aus Post need to charge you extra for, it will come out of your funds as the master account holder, where as it could be me under weighing all of my items.

It can be a total mess.  not worth the small benefit you will get.

I know it has been raised here before, but don 't know that it went anywhere.

Anyway it is actually against the MPB  T&C's, unless all members of the same business.
