And what happens if the buyer is not available during delivery hours? How much time and petrol is reasonable to go to the depot and collect?

Croy presumably sells books, so I doubt they would be sending too many 12kg parcels.

dont post offices open business hours too , and you can have it delivered to your business also,

i am going on about a different service as sellers are complaning about the AP service, that 12 kg parcel is still cheaper than a sachel up to 3 kg for a book ,  but if you send small things and letters well you have no choice but to use AP.

Just a follow up out of 4 parcels sent by courier   ,i took them on monday at about 11am. in dandenong vic.

tuesday 10.03 delivered to adelaide,, tuesday 10.17 delivered to donvale melbourne,,  tuesday  9.17 delivered to nsw...

only the tasy one has not arived yet. not bad
