Advice on couriers..

I am fed up with Australia post.


 


They seem to be making more profit on my item then I am.


 


I made a $10 profit on an item and all my items are packed in a satchel and on average weight between 1 to 2 kg


 


Using C&S calculator I charge according to what it says. . but in the very fine print hidden amongst a sea of type is a clause saying they may cube the parcel, which I believe do not know that.


 


One parcel I sent today said it cost $20 but when I went to the post office costed me $25. I cannot lower my postage because my competitors are even charging less.. no they did not bump up the price of the item.


 


I have come to think they may be using couriers.  


 


I checked fastway and yes they are cheaper but they do not deliver outside cities.. eg they service the Sydney Area but if you send a parcel to Bathurst area they do not cover the area.


 


I looked at TOLL DHL Star Track Express TNT Toll as per ebay notice.. but will I run into the same problem?


 


Execpt Fastway the other couriers do not have prices showing on their sites.


 


Could people that use couriers give me help.


 


Can you advise who I should be looking at and who to stay away from..


 


Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Advice on couriers..

They seem to be so new that they have had no customers at all as far as I can see.

Any seller who takes a chance on them would have to be very trusting....would you like to think the Joe Blow down the road will be delivering your parcels with no experience at all?
