But with decreased volumes why is delivery also taking around 2-3 days longer?
Flight availability.
Long-haul driver availability / overwork (seriously, these guys would be on the road constantly at the moment - some haven't seen their families for a few weeks etc).
I have heard very conflicting anecdotes with regard to volume - some are claiming it's just as busy as Christmas (I even heard taxi drivers had been hired to help deliver ? ), so I don't really know what the true situation is there. I do know they are prioritising mail - my very metro Adelaide post shop ran out of priority labels last week. I ordered them online and got them delivered to my PO box (from interstate) today, the PO still don't have theirs.
