"Head of Parcel & Express Services, Richard Umbers, told a conference at the CeBIT computer trade show in Sydney that Australia Post had had to cope with huge drops in parcel deliveries after numbers peaked in 2008."
Ebay and oz post staff, rejected pond scum .OZ Post just deleted the under 250gram parcel . Now the minimum parcel costs $7.20 oz wide even if it only weighs 10 grams. As a letter 10 grams costs 60 cents. Not everything is under 20mm thick. Hello thick as a brick oz post staff. Increase the price= lose customers.
It is cheaper to post small items from china air mail oz wide, than within QZ . If you can find yhe logic in that OZ post has a senior management job for you.
