AusPost parcel sending changes

[Paulbot]

I think $6.95 may be the minimum postage now? Like I said I'm a bit confused by it all.

Yep. Prices have gone up.

Yep, so what would have cost $6.60 (minimum you could send a parcel in Aus, via regular) has increased to $6.95; similarly what would have cost $9.65 is now $9.95 (as I found out yesterday), etc. So for the extra 30c or so you get tracking on all parcels now. But those price increases are for regular. I think they've increased a lot more for using prepaid and Click and Send.

I've got some prepaid packages sitting around and guess I'm going to be slugged extra now when I try to post them?

If you have pre-paid package things hanging around you wont be charged extra. My local PO was selling them off before the price promoting the fact that they are a cheap way to beat the price rise (for a bit anyway)

For what Australia post Tracking is worth...

That's good. That was my main concern. I guess the actual price increases aren't too much.

Postage costs in this country are ridiculous. I remember selling an Energon Unicron a couple of years back to another boards member and it was approx. $50 just to get it over the other side of the country. I get stuff shipped to me from OS for less...

Bit of a necro bump but in case people weren't aware the costs for sending parcels just went up. Minimum cost is $7.45 now it seems. For those selling items in the sales thread you might want to take this into account for postage estimates.
