Hi. Previously we listed an item for Pick up only. Despite making it clear in the description it
was for Pick up only we still got numerous enquiries for posting interstate including some
far distant remote areas. In the end it just got too much and we cancelled the listing.
Am thinking about relisting item and will allow people to enquire about postage. I would
like people to seek a quote from me before bidding BUT I would also like to include
the parcel weight/dimensions in the description so people can make their own
enquiries if they want to. And I would give a range of sample prices for certain destinations
'as a guide'. Am not familiar with calculated postage in the listings and would prefer to
just do it myself.
The box weighs around 2.2kg and measures 39 x 18 x 24cm. Doing a test with the Australia Post
calculator I am getting prices around $22 for Brisbane, $30 for Perth and $42 for Broome. Could
there be any places within Aust that go higher than that (posting from Melb suburbs)? This is
for regular parcel post with signature on delivery.
Can anybody give me some tips on reducing costs so I can make the item more appealing.?
I would be reusing some packaging and not adding a handling fee.
If I posted the item in a large tough bag would it still be cubed?
I am not sure how the click and send flat rate options work but am guessing mine wouldn't qualify for that?
