I spoke with Australia Post today re lost parcel and was told they had a lost parcel rate of 4% and she thought that was quite good i said so you ship 2000000 items a day and you lose 80000 of them ? she said oh it dosent sound good when you say it like that so not only are they crushing small biz with crazy prices they are costing us with replacements or refunds . also the sizing is so restrictive most other countrys have a 25mm letter thickness no not here 20mm is $2. but 21mm will cost you $7.40 now and international manufacturers design their product with postage in mind small things could make good profit if you could ship it at $2 but at $7.40 its a joke now take that $5.40 differance x it by 800000 small biz sending just 1 parcel = $4320000 now lets all send 100 parcels =half a billion dollars that small biz have to buy more stock pay tax on etc etc which in turn creates more jobs with ports freight co packaging stamps etc etc its a total win win to make some changes to au post and thats 100 parcels a year per small biz i know thousands would send many thousand one small change could potentially inject multi billions into our economy just on small parcels alone what are your thoughts
