With Australia Post prices increasing above inflation all the time I did some research and found e Go couriers which are part of the Hunter Transport group.
You prepay money into their account and receive bonus creidt for larger deposits> Up to 10% for $1000 prepaid.
At this level you can send to most capital cities up to 10kgs cubed out to 15kgs for $9.77 Perth has recently had $2.20 added to this as they have a new delivery partner there offering a better service.
I message customers to advise we use a carrier and ask where the parcel can be left if no one is home. There is proof of delivery signed by the driver which would satisfy Paypal and eBay, but I have had no need to use that.
Have sent over 200 parcels this way over a three month period with no problems.
e Go pick up daily and generally are faster with deliveries than Australia Post.
Online tracking is also provided.
I have received a number of price adjustment invoices where the scanning machine shows the declared dimensions are underquoted. They were not underquoted and when I asked that the scan pictures be checked the extra charges were refunded as another parcel had interfered with the scan.
All contact is online to keep costs low.
From my end e Go has been a great find.
