Here I am with my afternoon cuppa reading auspost.com.au 'Post Charges' booklet -7th oct 2013. Not the most entertaining reading but,
On page 16 - The local country parcels service is for a parcel lodged at the same office that will deliver it. Parcels up to 500g -$4.15 per parcel.
So , how do we get this price? I happened to have a parcel today -very local address and toddled off to the local po - I showed them the address and asked if there was a special price for local delivery -$6.95 they say. Is it just they know nothing of this service ?
I only happened to pick they booklet up on my way out as I thought I had read about this before but never had such a local parcel .may show them tomorrow to see what they do say about it.
There is also a service for parcels over 500g lodged at an office within 50km of the delivery office -fixed price of $9.30 per parcel. I am sure I have lodged such parcels but always had to pay more than that.
So am I reading this wrong or are the staff once again clueless?
Has anyone ever managed to be charged these rates?
