500g parcels up now to $8.30, so I guess $7.05 at max discount via My Post Business.
@I see they're also introducing a 50-125g large letter weight bracket for international mail - that will be good for me because it's cheaper than what we have now (50g - 250g @ $9.00), but not so good for those sending 125-250g as that's now $12. Well past time for me to switch to DHL for international, anyway.
At long last international insurance has dropped (nearly halved), but domestic insurance is increasing to $2.00 per $100.
I think you are looking at "priority" pricing. Those Extra stamps you can put on to supposedly get it there faster than regular mail but slower than express.
regular metered mail is $0.99 per stamp. If I used one of those machines I'd be insulted by a 1 cent discount. But I guess it is still cheaper than a stamp.
There is not an increase to the humble stamp though, Nearly everything else they can think of though.
