What are the advantages of a courier?
I don't like that Australia post has such a complicated system. And that it is base on weight mainly. I mean it does not make sense. You get som much volume in a van, plain or train, the weight is only second.
Are couriers cheaper?
The same volume, but...
1 tonne of lead takes less room than 1 tonne of feathers, but the vehicle can probably only carry 1 tonne or its suspension will collapse. An aeroplane has a maximum takeoff weight. If that fits in less than the entire cargo hold the rest of the hold has to be empty, assuming you want the plane to be able to takeoff and have enough fuel to reach its destination.
