I posted from Canberra to Narooma (south cost NSW) last Monday morning and the item arrived yesterday afternoon. That's less than 200km. With no tracking events between lodgement Mon am and on board with driver next Mon am.

My stars were going good, but my postage cost is now below 4.9 (3 month). Half mine are 'free' post (automatic 5 stars), the rest are 500g C&S satchels at $6.50, which allows a whole 30c for the satchel, packaging and handling.

I think a lot of buyers consider 4 a good score; as it would be anywhere else.
