Courier post cost

[amalan11]

Just  got me curious...I brought  a item from Darwin for $3.82 inc post. It was in mailbox today 3 days later and looking at it it came by Startrack   .How do sellers do that it must be more expensive than Aus Post , had to be impressed

Are they buying feedback?

Don't  think  so  they have 18000+ pos .it was just a rubber cover  for  a power pack battery so only  about 30 gm but  I thought it  ust be a expensive  shipping  option

With the volume the seller does I would assume they have very low level profit margin on goods and a lucrative corporate deal with courier.

I'm thinking it was a Chinese seller in disguise myself.

Looks like a Chinese seller with warehouse in Oz.

            No secret, Australia Post own StarTrack, ....that simple, my friend.

If it was in your mailbox it would not have been delivered by StarTrack, unless you mean it was a PO box.

StarTrack only delivers to your door or leaves the parcl at the PO if there is no-one home.

oh ok it may have been done through  post then although it says startrack and a return depo in Melbourne. I guess whatever  I  was impressed  ... :smileyhappy
