Postage Labels not working?

bigbrickshop — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 02:22:32 GMT

I printed some out this morning and noticed that there have been some changes. Have just tried to do another one and now it stops after entering the parcel size and weight. 😞

Looks like eBay's done another change for the worse

Friday "maintainance gremlins" maybe?

G'day eezi...................

It's a bit early for the Friday maintenance to be causing problems.

I have printed the labels directly through MyPost.

Hi BBS,

Just wondering how much My Post charges these days for 500g parcels (not prepaid satchels), and 3kg satchels? Ta.

Re: Postage Labels not working?

bigbrickshop — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 02:55:09 GMT

$7.42 500g, $12.10 3kg, $15.43 5kg satchels plus the cost of the satchel. That is the Business 250 rates.

meekamag2 — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 02:56:50 GMT

Gee, that's quite a saving now that Ap has increased it's prices.

So I could pack something in a box and post it for $7.42?

Re: Postage Labels not working?

If your item fits in a box and the box fits into the flat-rate satchel then yes.

If not, it is $7.95 for up to 500g if you use your own packaging.

someone posted this handy link for MyPost Personal / Business-related problems the other day - https://status.developers.auspost.com.au

you can go there and subscribe to updates or alternatively, just visit the website whenever you want to see if it's experiencing problems. apparently, around the time you posted, it appears they were/are having problems with the service.

Re: B250, there are changes coming in soon that will provide tiered discounts according to volume (up to 15% for over 1000 parcels a year), and apparently they're expanding the range of discounted products to include assessed domestic parcels as well, so it may be worth looking into for those that hadn't considered it before.

Re: Postage Labels not working?

bigbrickshop — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 03:46:24 GMT

Thanks digi, that explains why it now shows the full price on one line and then the B250 discount below it.

Thanks for the update.

Digi, the regular parcels now have Business discounts applied. I will now do all of our parcels direct on MyPost. Spitting that I had already printed today's eBay labels before I started on the non-eBay parcels as I would have saved some money 😄

Re: Postage Labels not working?

bigbrickshop — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 23:47:08 GMT

Arghhhh! I spoke too soon. I can't print the labels out on MyPost. They must still be updating the site or something. I am just getting the never-ending red swirly thing when I try to print 😞

Thanks. Just tried it again and was able to print the labels.

For anyone on B250 rates, the new rate for 500g parcels in Own Packaging is $7.15

I was switched over last night and it took me ages to get labels printed. So many errors, hanging pages and logon loops.

It'll be great when it gets sorted, though. Tier 2, which I haven't reached yet but hopefully will, includes economy international parcels, and perhaps more importantly, you can finally set a default send from address. 😄

Re: Postage Labels not working?

bigbrickshop — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 01:03:51 GMT

You can set a default Ship from address now.
