Aus post are greedy!  Too many of their employees are theives - we've had many items stolen by the mongrels.  We went to post a padded bag (large letter) and because their scales (uncalibrated) read 126 grams, we had to pay $7.00 instead of $1.20.  We are looking at Pack & Send prices now.  After all of the trouble, thefts, and extotionate postage with Auspost, we are now no longer going to use them to send even a Christmas card.  They wouldn't deliver to our house, the local postie just didn't like us for some reason.  We never did anything to upset him.  We had to pay for a P.O. Box because he refused to do his job.  We compained at the P.O. - nothing was done.  We filed several formal complaints with HQ - nothing was done.  We reported it to the federal Ombudsman - they couldn't have cared less.  AUSPOST ARE THIEVES!!!
