It is a fairly new service.....I doubt that many buyers have yet found out about it.

It is rather expensive.....on a par with the GSP which most Aussies object to.    The only thing that might give it an edge over the GSP is that Australia Post will be working out what is a Prohibited import and not Pitney Bowes who have their own peculiar ideas of what is allowed and what is not.

The cost will kill it for most people
