That's right - anything that is less than 2 cm - so it's been great for high value but thin books.
The only proviso now is stated on the tab: this envelope is not suitble for sending loose or small rigid items such as jewellery, precious stones, keys, coins or USBs.
The operative word there being "loose." Just make sure to package them up in some way, maybe put them in a plastic bag and tape them to a piece of cardboard, or wrap them in bubble wrap. The problem being if the envelope gets damaged they could fall out, and a key for example could be the item that pokes the hole in the envelope in the first place. My secret to small loose items is to make sure they are in the middle of the envelope like this:
I could be wrong, but I think I saw those tracked envelopes in my local AP. They are green aren't they? Cashflow is a problem for me atm, so I have been holding off on buying them, but I do want them. I hate ordering from AP online, they are so slow, and usually require a signature which is a pain.
As for the original topic, I have been getting messages from all over the country. Got one from Perth and one from Melbourne about inr today. I guess it's just AP being slow because of the holidays.
