Hello All
So I am in a little bit of a daze this morning after a chat with my local Post office manager, as after the 8th of April he is no longer allowed to sell the soon to be outdated registered post labels.
My concern is this, we post a lot of our items in letter format(padded), from small to large letter and the value can range from $10 - $50 it really depends on what the item is however this type of sale makes up for a large part of our business and the benefit is that its only $1.20 postage. If the item value is over $20 we usually place a registered label on the item to cover us for INR/chargeback cases with PayPal.
With the new changes we will no longer have this option. I was also told I could not pay for additional tracking for just a letter so it feels like it is opening a large hole in the post service.
The manager also made comment that there a lot of people in a similar situation asking this question.
For the cover required, will everything have to be sent via C&S, will there ever be an option added to C&S for large letters/small packages to have them covered.
Luckily I can buy labels in bulk right up until the 8th and still use them, however after they run out it looks like our options are limited.
Does anyone have any information they might be able to add to this discussion.
