I fail to beleive Australia post won't take their packaging into account this is the most blantant money grabbing scam i've ever seen..So why say 1kg cost x amount when the quite wll know when the item is package and a few grams over they slug you the next rate up which is 3 kg RIDICULOUS and Auspost reply is....You will be charged for 1 kg if it doesn't include packaging ..Ummm how many item do't include packaging ??? Tossers.... .. again Ridiculous....Mybe it's to build up Aus post CEO for his 200 million dollrar bonus this year !

If I understand your rant correctly you are annoyed that Australia Post is charging you a postage rate to cover the weight of the item plus the packaging?
Words fail me...why would you think they would not do that?

So they charge me 3kg for 1 kg for a bag weight10 grams Come on....so their getting an extra 4 or 5 bucks on my 1kg charging me for 3kg and you think thats fair

My guess is that you were unlucky with your choice of post office. I can remember one instance - when I was down in Melbourn and a complete unknown to the post office where the parcel I was seding was about 10g over the limit for 1kg and they allowed it through. Sometimes though the small amount of power that the post office worker has goes right to their heads and they will be very extrememly thorough in their checking.

If it was that close, you should have weighed everything before sealing it.
I'm sure you could have skimmed 10gr off the packing.

Then Buyer weights it and walla neg feedback -10 g is a lot when your selling salts and powder products..I weight everything to the gram correctly

How do you skim 10 grams off a plastic bag or a cosmetic jar..weather it be 10 g or 3 g they charge up the next level they just give no leeway for 3 measly grams over I think thats sad on their part

Had a look at your listings and they state the weight is 1 kg
If the product weighs 1kg, how were you thinking you would get that passed the PO staff,
including packaging?
You have to charge the buyer for the correct postage or wear the loss.
edit: you also state each additional item is freepost

Another thing is If i was a costomer i wouid be wondering why i'm being chagred for 3 kg and not 1, all I can possibly say is ask Aus Post.....or I can give you less product weight than discribed to make their weight restrictions...

So all i can do is skim on the product..
