Re: B250, there are changes coming in soon that will provide tiered discounts according to volume (up to 15% for over 1000 parcels a year), and apparently they're expanding the range of discounted products to include assessed domestic parcels as well, so it may be worth looking into for those that hadn't considered it before.

Thanks digi, that explains why it now shows the full price on one line and then the B250 discount below it.

Thanks for the update.

Digi, the regular parcels now have Business discounts applied. I will now do all of our parcels direct on MyPost. Spitting that I had already printed today's eBay labels before I started on the non-eBay parcels as I would have saved some money  😄

Arghhhh! I spoke too soon. I can't print the labels out on MyPost. They must still be updating the site or something. I am just getting the never-ending red swirly thing when I try to print  😞

Thanks. Just tried it again and was able to print the labels.

 

For anyone on B250 rates, the new rate for 500g parcels in Own Packaging is $7.15

I was switched over last night and it took me ages to get labels printed. So many errors, hanging pages and logon loops.

It'll be great when it gets sorted, though. Tier 2, which I haven't reached yet but hopefully will, includes economy international parcels, and perhaps more importantly, you can finally set a default send from address. 😄

You can set a default Ship from address now.
