I thought I'd get this thread up again.:-)

I've had enough excitement here for one day and am off to find my zzz's.

Good thing the weekend is coming up so we can play with all this new stuff.

September was awful here too & very slow on the website as well. That was the most disappointing, I got used to doing well on there. 😕

Things are ticking along - slow, but still ticking.

Will do! Have put a couple of things on tonight. See you all around..:-)

Interesting article in Bookseller & Publisher

Why is it cheaper to post a book from overseas than within Australia? http://www.fancygoods.com.au/elly/2011/10/05/why-is-it-cheaper-to-post-a-book-from-overseas-than-within-australia-australia-post-the-royal-mail-and-the-cost-of-shipping-books/

Interesting.

‘a business in the UK posting 100 parcels (500 grams) to Australia could enjoy a unit postal cost of $3.04. In contrast, a business in Australia posting the same volume and weight of parcels within Australia would pay an estimated until postal cost of $5.75 – 89 percent more than the business in the UK pays for delivery to Australia’.
my bold

how does that work?

And now it costs $6.35 (or $6.60 in a satchel) to post a 500g parcel within Australia.

Over 100% more. :_|

well that was a volume discount for 100 items
but still
within

is nuts

Ah, that's true, T.

So the AP discount on 100 prepaid satchels brings the price down to $5.94 to send something across the country, but that's still almost double what UK businesses are paying to send something across the world.

Something is not right. Something is not fair.

Something is not right, something is quite wrong
this Post Office fiasco has been going on too long

Hi again,

Out of the 'couple of things' ie 2 books I listed that night, one sold by the morning. A bit inspired, but also listing household items.
