Placing tracked parcels into a red Street Post Box (SPB) is risky.
They rarely get a scan event until it is delivered.
If it gets lost before any scan events are recorded then you have no proof it is even in the Aust Post delivery system.
So I agree its safer to lodge over the counter and get a lodgement scan event. At least you have proof you sent it.
There may be another risk using the red street box, I've noticed an official sticker on one local red post box "this box is subject to regular security checks" , a bit alarming, assuming this is due to there having been an issue with mail put in that box. At least it wasn't blown up, which is another possible but rare risk.
