I'll give the heads up, but unfortunately you probably won't get any joy with your local member.
As another member has already mentioned, the postal systems worldwide have a standing international agreement which goes back well before the last century (in one form or another). I know it sounds like we are getting ripped-off, but honestly every postal service in almost every country honours the postal delivery agreement.
You think it's bad in Australia, take this example on board.....you post a 500gm parcel priority air mail to Australia from Canada and you'll pay about AU$47-00, then post the exact same parcel from the USA to Australia using the same type priority air mail and you'll only pay about AU$16-00
Either way Australia Post will deliver no matter how much the sender paid for postage in the country of origin.
It know it sounds strange, but the system actually works and has done for eons...given you can't get a majority motion approved by the United Nations on the colour of mud, however you can get a parcel delivered almost anywhere in the world in times of war or peace....go figure that out, but at least it works.
My grandmother sent letters to my late grandfather when he was downed air crew in a German POW camp during WW2 via Red Cross....and the whole world was at war at that time.
Nah, leave this alone it's not worth the time or effort to write to your local MP
