Can I post a satchel at standard large letter rate?

[ozbatteries_australia]

I have been using padded bags for a number of years now and are sent as a large envelope, cosing $1.40. I received a phone cover in the mail last week and they used a blank satchel to send it at a cost of $1.40. I know that my goods would fit into this size as they are under 20mm thick, just wanting to know whether Aust Post still class a small stachel as a large envelope?

I'm not sure why you would use a satchel unless you have used ones. 2c worth of clingwrap would provide the same level of protection for your goods, and a sheet of newspaper would triple it.

and packing peanuts would increase that by a factor of 10!

They're only for special people. And you can't fit many in a letter if you have a good to post.
