Click and Send Flat Rate Cartons - are they anything special?

[the3coopers]

Need some advice please - I've never used the carton service of Click and Send.

http://auspost.ebay.com.au/flat-rate-box

It's not very clear on the C&S page, plus I've never seen any special boxes at the Post Office.

Do I have to buy a special "ebay branded" carton, or can I use the stock of Bx1, Bx2 and Bx3 that I already have here?

And do you reckon I can turn my used boxes inside out and re-use / recycle them?

Do you have to be registered at Click and Send and linked to your ebay account to use the Flat Rate boxes? Because I can't get any option to come up other than "own packaging" there is nothing else in the drop-down menu. I have the box and the item and wanted to try it out but just clicked on "send now and register later".

They've recently removed the options from the drop-down menu where you could select the box size.

In the Product Code box enter the code and click Search and it will bring up the Flat Rate box details. The code number is the last 5 digits of the barcode printed on the bottom of the box.

Bx1 00069

Bx2 00076

Bx4 00090

If you mouse-over the question mark next to the Product Code box a popup will display all of the Flat Rate codes.

I can't seem to work out how to get the flat rate postage through click and send I have a couple of boxes here I want to send out but can't work it out.  have used different browsers and I get no where to type in the product code...

[bigbrickshop]

Under Item Details select Box and then enter the code in the box below and click on Search.

The only requirement to buying and using them is that you be an eBay member, but you can use them to send personal items, sales from other sites and so on - there's no restrictions stating that what's inside a satchel need be an eBay purchase. (AP have even recommended the eBay C&S satchels to people who run their own websites as an alternative.

Click and send satchels can be purchased directly from the AP online shop so there is no requirement to be an Ebay member

I've used the link above  - or to paraphrase

I've clicked and clicked all over the place

I've clicked until I'm blue in the face

But I can't find the postage price for using the flat-rate boxes

I used to have a link to send people but it must be out of date, it doesn't show the prices or the codes, I know it's $6.20 $10.50 and $13.25, but can anyone provide the Australia Post link, please?

I hate to think it's not there because they are busy changing the prices.

I found it the other day, but it took me half an hour and I can't remember where it was, so, sorry, I can't provide it.

From memory, I did dummy listings to get the prices.

[travelling_agoraphobic]

Sorry, I can't find pricing online, but they are:

B1 box - $6.50

B2 box - $10.50

B4 box - $13.25

Plus the cost of the box, as per the link above
