Hi there,

 

I post a lot of letter rate (400/500 a week) and I find my rate is 1%.

 

I have noticed many are to apartment blocks and certain postcodes in Vic.

 

Intially my rate was like yours 2/3% but was advised by Aust Post not to put my company name on the return address. To use a stamp with the return address only. If you use a sticker then it looks as if the item is expensive.

 

Also as suggested by another I always ask them to check with their local Post Office. In WA esp I have found they are held for up to three weeks before being returned.

 

The idea suggested endorsing your feedback with

 

<UID>: Replacement sent for item reported lost in post <date>.

 

is an excellent one and will be doing so in future.

 

Hope that this is of help and you are not alone.

 

Kind regards to all.
