A change to the Signature on Delivery (SOD) requirement has been raised in another thread on Powersellers board.  Thought I 'd post it on the general selling board for others who may not have seen the thread. 

Extra cover is now able to be purchased for parcels with goods up to $300 without the SOD requirement

HIP HIP HOORAY !!

From AP website:

Extra Cover

Sending something valuable or important? Extra Cover provides you with cover for the specified value of your item (up to $5,000) if your item is lost or damaged while being carried by Australia Post

Price

$1.50 per $100 of your item's value (or part thereof); and

You must add $2.95 for Signature on Delivery if your item is valued above $300.

Please note: the Signature on Delivery fee does not apply to Courier Post, as this feature is included in the Courier Post service.

How to add this feature

Simply choose Extra Cover as an additional feature when you pay for your item in-store or online via Click and Send.

Adding this feature after you've bought your satchel or postage label? You can purchase Extra Cover at an Australia Post retail outlet.
