Sounds like an a$$hat employee rather than the company itself (and I'm not one to stick up for AP at all). If they refuse you service or try to charge you more than the cost of postage, tell 'em to get effed and move on to the next post office. The only thing not allowed in the mail as a large letter are items over 20mm or 3/4" thick (including the packaging/envelope), very large or heavy items (over 500g) or batteries, explosives and other items that like to spontaneously combust, and anything else that is restricted/illegal to send (but sadly not the Liberal/Labor/Greens "pick me!" propaganda which is currently filling everyone's letterboxes around here regardless of any large NO JUNK MAIL signs that may be around).

If I start sending games later this year (or later) and receiving the same games back in the next day or twenty-eight complete with a message from Australia Post saying they now refuse all large letters that don't contain flexible paper documents (because the 1940s just called and computers and television no longer exist), I will either remove my listings for good or list them as pickup-only if I haven't been defected to buh-gery from all the INR claims that would pop up if that did happen.

Meanwhile, I am looking at yet another item (Parcel Post this time, not Registered Post) which was supposed to be sent from VIC to NSW which is still "in transit" after seven days, scanned only once at my post office and never again. Can't wait to cop an INR defect over that $5 item, tracking, schmacking.

Pssst, Heihachi, you don't get defects for INR's any more. That ceased in Feb I think. You only get defects for shipping (if you lodged over the counter and uploaded a tracking number within you're handling time, you're protected), cases closed without seller resolution and transactions you cancelled for being out of stock.
