The rates for the service, which provides a U.S. address for Aussies, is 24.95$ base rate and 5.95$ per 500gms.

so an alternative to the GSP but not cheap.

Smart idea considering how much we have been buying from the U.S., smarter to have set it up when our dollar was superlative.

I have not used any of the alternatives, I might use AP if it wasn't going to be a heavy item.

I've had one for years now, and a lot cheaper than that!  For anyone wanting one a quick google search should show you who to use.  I have a UK one and a USA one - handy things to have.  The benefits of using the other types is they will hold and group parcels up to 60 days apart.

there is already a few threads on this, one in this forum and one in PS

Yes, I saw that on Facebook. I think the cost is OTT . 😞

Not everyone can look at PS.

I know Padi started one, but the prices weren't specified outside the link. 

[amber-eyed-girl]

Wanted to get the prices up, as some people don't like clicking links.

could start a thread, but not post to one. Can't post on other threads right now either 😮

...and now, I can post normally. Weird. Apologies to Padi for starting another thread 🙂

Pointless using an alternative to the GSP if it doesn't save any money. Australia post already get enough of my money.
