As a postie myself. This is very very good information for the public. I would also add make sure your mail box is in compliance with regulation. Because alot of these mailing envelopes do not fit in mail boxes. And if you want your products to be delivered safely to you, you have to have a mailbox that can fit it, or it has to be picked up from the local post office either the next day or that afternoon.

@DrMysterion 2 жыл бұрын

how is that our fault though, if it doesn't fit in the mail box... GO to the door or don't deliver, use the vans... it defeats the whole purpose of "DELIVERY".... they should have a standard mail measuring tool to see if it'll fit or not otherwise it's a waste of time :|

the international letters are actually available rn I think as I’ve been sending a few and they’ve been delivered (if they were in an envelope) the economy untracked parcels which are suspended. Prices has been raised though. And you can only send letters, if you send them with a box or a bubble mailer it gets returned to sender if you don’t have a customs form with a barcode.

@TaylahRose 3 жыл бұрын

Its only documents currently! (For letter mail) I contacted auspost last month and anything that isn’t documents is still not technically allowed :(( I’ve been shipping my stickers as it’s paper but my scrunchies won’t be allowed still as the customs form would say it’s not documents. Hopefully it’s all back to normal soon! Economy US untracked parcels are back but unsure about other countries How long have your letters been taking and what have you been sending in them? ☺️ I shipped a few stickers but no idea how long they will take 😞

@@TaylahRose I’ve been shipping keychains and I wasn’t aware of the document only thing and I’ve had many orders returned to me as I undercharged. It’s been a very trying time for me and I’ve had to refund about 15 buyers which is a lot as my shop only has 70 sales. I have been sending some prints and saying they are “documents” and they’ve been getting through fine if they’re in an envelope. To the US it usually takes 4-6 weeks and to the UK it’s around 2-3 weeks. It’s super inconvenient but I’m always very happy if they actually arrive. I’m thinking of suspending my international shipping as it’s always so hard.

@TaylahRose 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! You can get address parcel stickers from Australia post and can write on those and stick them on in store when you pay to post the item. Or when you purchase the postage through the Australia post business account the address will already be on the sticker/paper with the tracking information so you won’t need to write the address out. If you don’t have stamps at home uou will just need to go to Australia post and purchase there and pay for postage each time rather than having the envelopes ready. The weight costs depend on many many things such as envelope vs parcel and how big the parcel is Ild suggest looking at the auspost website or even going in store they have books/pieces of paper that have all this info. Tracking comes with every parcel and costs $5+ for envelopes. If you ever get confused about what something will cost to post bring in the item to auspost and they can tell you for certain :) goodluck!

@erinwoods4868 3 жыл бұрын

hi, since she didn’t reply I thought I’d respond. it’s quite expensive to get tracked options internationally, as you have to send it as a parcel as there’s no letter option anymore. You could send a $21 under 250g parcel with tracking to the United States/Canada but it goes up/down depending on what country you’re sending to. You’ll need to go to a post office and lodge it and they’ll print a label for it. Sendle is an amazing company which is about $1 more than aus post but it’s much faster and you can get it collected from your door if you live in a capitol city. Hope this helps! If you don’t want tracking you’ll need to stick in an envelope with a 3.40$ stamp but it’ll need to be thin.

@erinwoods4868 3 жыл бұрын

You only need the customs declaration for items that aren’t documents or letters I think. I’ve had so many orders returned due to this customs form things as I wasn’t aware of it. If you send it with a bubble mailer or small box you need a customs form. But if it’s a standard DL/C5 envelope that is very thin and looks like a letter then you don’t need a customs form, just a stamp or label.

Hey! I’m planning to sell hand made air fresheners but I can’t seem to find any clarification on what that means in terms of dangerous goods on AU Post. Also can’t call them because of lockdown and I need to speak to a real person! Does anyone know what the regulations/restrictions on that sort of thing would be?

Hi! I was just wondering if the shipping labels you get from aus post has a tracking number? Thanks!

@TaylahRose 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not to sure which ones you mean but any ‘parcel’ postage has tracking and if you would like to send as a letter you can get tracking with registered mail and the green tracked envelopes ☺️

For the return address do you put your actual home address or a PO Box? Also, I saw that you had a PO Box, is it free, and how do you use it for your business?

@TaylahRose 3 жыл бұрын

This is such a great question!! I’ve always been very private about my home address (being so young when I first started I was worried about creeps on the internet and all that) so I’ve always had a PO BOX and do highly recommend them when doing business! I believe it costs me $35 a year and I claim that back on tax 🥰

@@TaylahRose that's great! Wow, thank you for the info! like you even as an adult it's uncomfortable for heaps of people to just know my address. Also can you please give the dimensions of the superflat envelope mailers that you have? Is the largest one that you have considered a letter? I looked at the Aus Post letter dimensions and I think the max for a big letter domestically is 260mm x 360mm x 20mm. Is the big envelope considered a parcel?

@TaylahRose 3 жыл бұрын

These are the dimensions below! A4- 310mm 220mm 16mm A5 - 220mm 160mm 16mm CD - 152mm 132mm 16mm Small - 140mm 80mm 16mm Parcel box - 220mm 170mm 80mm So the A4 one is still below the requirements and able to be sent as a letter (as it’s like an A4 document) I usually have to put 3 stamps on that size because of the weight! The A4 is also the same size as the large tracked envelope

Hi Taylah, I hope you can help me. Have started my small business but really struggling with the shipping expenses. Can a rigid mailed box be used for items like pens, usb, or id badge. It is too expensive if i use satchels and pay for a parcel price for these small items. A regular envelop can be too thin and easily break for these pieces too..

@TaylahRose 2 жыл бұрын

Hey as long as the items and envelope are below 2cm it will be fine, there are also tracked envelope options too if you needed. The large ones are a nice thick card which can be protective

I always do, I have P.O. Box which helps me feel safer about using a return address. I normally go in however I live in a small country town so there’s almost never anyone in line when I go to the Post office. If I lived somewhere that was busier I would probably just put them in the box. I always take my tracked envelopes and parcels in to be scanned tho

@@TaylahRose I literally posted a parcel as a letter today for the first time and the first post office that I went to said you can only post documents as letters and the second place helped me with the stamps and everything but then asked me to drop off the letter in the box outside instead of taking in which was odd. I also had to hand write the receivers address. Do you usually print the address from the auspost website? I also forgot to include a return address so hope it will not get lost 🤞

@TaylahRose 3 жыл бұрын

Some post offices can be nasty but no where does it state documents only, luckily my local is great and we get along really well. I print all my addresses on a word document (just copy and paste) into three columns it works great! So much quicker than handwriting Not sure why she made you go out and put it in the box - that’s odd 🥴
