New Click and Send - new services, ebay label system...

[babylonfuture]

WOW

New Click and Send services coming.. and also the ebay click and send codes will cease to work on the click and send site from 13th May. Will need to use the ebay Label Postage service.

Click and Send will have it's own flat rate products., ie, BX1, BX2 (no BX4). If you qualify for the business 250 Aus Post account you can get extra cover for $1 (and you do not need signature on delivery, unless value of goods is over $300).

Have a read here

What are your thoughts?

1 big issue for me with the ebay system is the 1 label per page. Might need to look into a label printer (I have a brother QL-570 now, but for postage labels they would be too small..).

Good to see , if I read correctly, we can pay for international post parcels, ordinary parcels etc all online ..

Also the new barcode they generate will include the receivers address - so should mean more reliable deliveries (we can only hope, right?!?!).

1. Yes you can, but you don't get eBay rates.

2. Clicked from the relevant notice at the bottom of the C&S login page - http://auspost.com.au/about-us/click-and-send-changes.html.

3. This one I'll give you.

Registrations for the business account will be available on the 13th May. How sucky is that! And yes.. they are saying it will take 3 days... best of luck....:/

that's right - Aust Post are not putting in their click and send  changes until 13 may - we just have to wait

I clicked on your link but unfortunately I got an Auspost Page Heading with the following

Page not found

The page you are looking for does not exist.

Please check the URL for any possible spelling errors. If you are still having trouble, try searching our site for the information you need.

It must all be a huge state secret!

Try again. It was live when I posted it. And yesterday, at least, as others have posted the exact same information.

OR.... go to the click and send login page and click it directly.

I provide direction, but I don't do handholding.

I got the same message dave - cleared cache/cookies etc - then all good to go.

Handy link BTW

Would appreciate advice anyone can give me!!  I'm a little confused over the pricing of the flat rate products using the ebay label system (have used Click and Send only until now)  With the new changes, does that mean I will still pay 11.70 to post a BX2 (up to 3kg) and 15.05 to post a BX4 (up to 5kg), using the ebay label system?  Thanks for any help!!!

Okay, thanks very much for that! Am very relieved to see that the BX4s still have a flat rate,even if it's via ebay's system rather than via Click and Send!!  It looks like the whole introduction of these changes has not been well planned or well-communicated by Aust Post, as there's obviously much confusion out there.  Anyway, thanks again!!
