   I don't have an ABN (yet) but I already post at least 5 parcels a week (not including large letters) so qualify in that regard. I have a few questions though.

    

   1. Do I have to print my own postage labels? I need to go to the Australia Post Office anyway. I don't need nor want them to come to my house or office (assuming I'm even there, which I'm not).
   2. How and where do I get the discount?
   3. How does Australia Post track how many parcels I send a week?
   4. Does the Australia Post "MyPost" card have anything do with anything (for example, tracking how many parcels I send each time)?

   If you can answer my questions or if you have any useful information I would appreciate it.

OK. that was timely. I just went to the PO to do my mailing and the manager wanted a word. It turns out AP have introduced a new or completely revamped mypostbusiness service. PO managers have been off to courses in the last couple of weeks and are keen to sign people up to the new system.

Basically there are three tiers of customer, with the discounts of 5%, 10% and 15% on parcel postage rates, depending on how many parcels you post over time. You need to sign up for and use a mypost card for your transactions. This tracks your parcel postage levels over six week periods and asigns the discount based on this progressive six week period. I,m not sure if the discount applies to items as mailed or wether your account is credited with the discount after the 6 weeks. You can still mail parcels over the PO counter as per normal and they can print the label also as per normal.

The discounts also apply on top of the regular discounts for buying satchels in bulk lots of ten or one hundred, making these substantially cheaper.

All up it sounds interesting and as much as I hate changing anything, I might give it a try.
