We are rural too and in the same boat. Interesting though, it's $8.50 city to rural but $7.25 in reverse, despite the fact the trucks go both ways every day regardless if they are full or empty.

You could assume city to rural has higher volumes than rural to city so in that sense the pricing is back to front or is Australia Post giving rural senders a discount ?

AP pricing is based on the destination, not the origin. Has been ever since they introduced MyPost Business. I'm not sure about the predecessor version, I didn't use it much.

Curious to hear from other sellers if they are raising prices or absorbing the upcoming Australia Post increases ?

Raising. I'm due to fall off Band 2 three weeks ago.

depends what the market does. USD/AUD is very low so doesn't effect us

I remember years ago when AP staff seemed to have a really bad rep.

 

How to guarantee getting a job at the Post Office ? Just take your bad attitude with you to the interview.

 

Most I have found now are lovely, but I admit in the past not so much

Product updates and pricing appears slow at the Retail level, not to mention AP regulations which change regularly. Management probably depends on updated screens to hand down information.

With these increased prices I will demand a better service and delivery experience for my patronage. Yes it's a big country to deliver mail, but the gold plated pricing needs to be backed by gold plated service...

Unfortunately Australia Post closed their Community Forum so airing public 'feedback' is now more difficult.

I forgot to process my postage lables last night so now am covering the extra. Atleast the ones I had done on friday are still charged at the previous rate.
