Of course it matters - both from a taxpayers point of view and a retialer trying to compete against the el-cheapo Chinese imports.
My point was that we subsidise the cost of those small packets from China....
"We're seeing a double-digit growth at least in terms of the under two kilo parcels, the small parcel size that are sent into Australia. And in that category Post is losing, we're told, around $50 million per annum in delivering those parcels. And there's nothing they can do, obviously, to recover those costs because they're tied up in these international frameworks about how the sharing of postal charges is calculated."................."What we have is Australia Post delivering within Australia parcels from overseas at a loss, yet today we're seeing them increase the cost for posting parcels within Australia. So obviously there's some detrimental impacts flowing through to Australian retailers trying to compete."
