I am on a parcel contract so this doesnt affect me but it might affect you. Another 3-4% increase.

Australia Post has announced a number of price changes that will take effect from 2 March 2015. This is part of our normal bi annual price review. Official notifications will be sent out shortly if you have not already received them. Customers with eParcel, Parcel and International contracts are not impacted by these changes.

The price and product changes will occur on 2 March 2015 include:

Those darn vowels being all so close together on the keyboard - at least it wasn't a word that changes the entire message when I hit the wrong key (I try to refrain from wishing people good luck, they often thought I was being overtly flirtatious with the mix up of I's and U's.... ).

Thanks.

Looks like it should have little/no effect on us as we mostly use large letter.

Would be handy if they produced a post tariff with ebay fees built in !
