The person who gave you the advice may have got it wrong. Maybe they only work on the counter and have no idea what happens out the back. AP staff would be no different to forum dwellers - some give wrong advice on subjects they know nothing about and then insist they're right.
That PO may well keep local mail aside and not send it to the sorting centre at all. Sending everything to the sorting centre would be like my local PO sending mail for local delivery on a 2-hour trip to Geelong to be sorted, only to have it come back the next day - which definitely doesn't happen. They told me a few years ago that any mail for the next towns south or west get kept in a different bag to be put on the morning truck, but everything else heads to Geelong on the night truck. Parts of that may have changed last year because the morning and night trucks now come from the same direction, but the fact is that they do sort a lot of mail before it gets to the main sorting centre. I do acknowledge the fact that their 'improvements' mean they're less efficient than they used to be. Perhaps that's why they wanted a price rise - so they could afford to be less efficient.
No I just checked and it has just got to Underwood 🙂
