tall bearded   What if you don't offer more that one option? Only standard post and no ability to select a registered option at checkout?   The choice of the delivery service to be used rests with the buyer, and the legislation clearly imposes an onus on the seller to do as buyer instructs. That is, if in my listings I only provide for regular post, and the buyer says no I want it sent registered, then the seller must do as the buyer instructs, because if they don’t, they may well find themselves at risk until the item is actually received.

You need to make sure that the buyer is aware of the risk and also include a recommendation that registered post/insurance is a more secure option.

Mail order delivery has been taking place in Australia before the internet was thought of or indeed invented. There is no difference between mail order and an internet sale save for the method that the item was advertised.

Here are some examples of terms of sale from some Australian online businesses that lay out the notification requirements

ticketmaster

 Tickets sent by normal mail or express delivery cannot be traced and no responsibility will be taken for tickets sent by this method. Alternatively your tickets may be collected from the venue on the day of the performance. Please check box office operating hours. In some instances where a venue collection is not available, alternative arrangements may be offered. Please check the purchase page for that event.

Liability
Whilst we will take due care to adequately pack your goods, we cannot be held responsible for goods damaged or lost due to circumstances that are beyond our control. This applies to goods in transit or after delivery. We will gladly follow up on any delivery problems with Australia Post, but by placing an order with Sugar Free Zone Pty Ltd, to the extent permissable by Australian law, the purchaser absolves Sugar Free Zone Pty Ltd and its employees of any responsibility for the goods once they have been delivered in good condition to our local post office.
