No postcode on the Aust Post receipt

[ydgonline06]

Today I posted a parcel and when I went to send the tracking number to the purchaser I noticed that there was no postcode on the Aust Post receipt. Is that new?

The receipts I have don't have a postcode. Did they used to have the postcode?

some post offices are just lazy and don't put it in. I have still been getting them on my receipts.

If I go to my local back street PO I get postcodes on the tracking numbers, but if I go to the main PO I don't. If I am posting more than 1 item at the main PO I ask them if I can have a quick look at the tracking number sticker so I know which number belongs to which parcel. They are usually happy to oblige, even when they're busy.

OK, now I know that they have a choice to put it on or not, thank you.
I will ask in future. Never had it missing before. I do things manually, as I don`t have much postage. Mostly pick up. Thanks MM

You will also find that if it is a parcel that is under 500g there is no post code as these go anywhere for $7.20

wrong.

If there is no postcode just ask the staff at the PO for a postcode receipt. All my parcels are under 500 gms and I get a receipt with postcodes.

For articles under 500 gm tell them you want the postcode as well as the tracking no. If they say they can't do it tell them to go to no. 5 on their screen & it will allow the postcode to be shown. This applys at all licensed post offices. I had the same trouble until I found this out & now it is always there. For letters etc there is no tracking available but now with this money backa guarantee garbage I register all letters ( $3 ) & charge the buyer to cover myself.

Thanks for the blatant put down there. I was just trying to help.

Last week I queried why there was no postcode on my receipt for my items I had paid for online.

Postal Manager of small country PO said 'U can only get the postcode on the receipts when U pay at the PO?   Evidently there's nothing on her keyboard/system to put the postcode in when paying elsewhere.  She actually showed me her screen & there's nowhere to put the postcode.

Another thing is why don't we get a receipt when we lodge registered mail?  Registered mail is not tracked, only whows up when it's delivered.  If it's not tracked for what are we paying all that money?
