Postage Labels and the Aust Post Tracking System

[sueg57]

Thought I'd just try the postage labels through ebay for the first time, so printed them off and put my parcels in the post box as there is one close by and since then I've been clicking the tracking number to see it update and make sure they're delivered OK... however nothing is happening ... is anyone elses updating?  ... One parcel I posted last Thursday and the other over the weekend!

I have found that the tracking no. for postage labels printed through ebay doesnt work in the ebay tracking screen , but if you try the number in the australia post site it will show up.

No tracking numbers work through eBay as far as I can tell.

Thanks Shop & Dave .. I was checking both... clicking on the link in Ebay and then clicking again to go to Aust Post website... they have both updated this morning... one was delivered yesterday and the other scheduled for delivery today... Weird that it just sits on them for days and then bang... delivered LOL... so anyone else stressing... it does work ... phew .. thanks everyone 🙂

Most of our things are small, inexpensive and squishy so we mostly just use large letters for delivery.

To do the labels we have invested in a Brother QL-500 label printer. We get the labels on rolls of 800. End up costing about 4/5-cents each including printing.

We just copy/paste the address details into the label software as we are packing the item, do a little bit of formatting to make it fit etc and print & stick. So easy!! And quick too!

Occasionally for a larger order that won't fit in a large letter we use Click n Send and lodge over the counter for tracking purposes.
