Stawks, report it to the Mods and ask for it to be deleted as it is board policy not to post incorrect information.

Done.   I asked for the whole thread to be deleted.

[lyndal1838]

So did I.

It is no longer current information and no-one would want to know year old information that cannot be used in any way.

here's information for AUSTRALIA POST delivery dates for the christmas period 2017 just in case people look at this thread before it is closed / deleted. 

full info can be found at: https://auspost.com.au/christmas#dates

That's not accurate for all post offices. I just got back from the post office and the notice said they'd be closed on Friday 29th for their annual PO holiday, as well as Monday 1st.

fair enough - obviously the post offices can set their own rules if they're owned privately i guess..

but i'm just stating the overall info which was provided on the australia post website. the majority, i dare say, will keep in line with those guidelines - but i guess if people really want to know, they can ask at their local post office or check it out for themselves :]

The AP Picnic Day holiday is the 29th December this year and is an industry wide holiday.

If the PO is an LPO rather than an AP store then the owners are able to open if they want to but there will be no postal deliveries at all.

handy to know thanks lyndal! :]

thanks for that. Nice & clear.

I nearly had a fit though when i read the first post as I didn't notice it was a 2016 post and it said Sunday 25th Dec. 

I'm relying on Sunday to get things ready. So relieved to find Xmas is on Monday as I thought.

I don't know who posted this but if it was Australia Post they are not in Australia. In Australia in 2017 Christmas Day is Monday 25th December and this post still doesn't answer the question.... will they be delivering within Australia on Saturday 23rd December? Hmmm...?
