Increases in International & Parcel rates. That won't go down well with the increased cost of FVF being charged on all shipping costs already this year.

Increases in domestic prepaid envelopes. These went up in price early this year as well.

Regular pre-paid envelopes

Medium C5       Large C4     Large B4

500g	162 x 229 x 20mm	$1.80	$17.10 (1-4 packs) $16.20 (5+ packs)
500g	324 x 229 x 20mm	$3.50	$33.25 (1-4 packs) $31.50 (5+ packs)
500g	353 x 250 x 20mm	$4.15	$39.45 (1-4 packs) $37.35 (5+ packs)

Australia Post do not realise that we are feeling the pinch, what with their costs & ebays 10% on postage that we have to factor in it is making our items dearer all the time.

I agree the prepaid envelopes were a cheaper alternative for $3.20 than putting it in a $3.50 stamped envelope, but then again Australia Post have increased them twice in one year. WRONG...

As for lost mail well what else can be said?
