Australia Post has increased the cost of postage and wants to reduce the amount of delivery days.
I received a parcel from the west coast of the US (it was shipped from there to the east coast, then to Hawaii, then to Australia), total time nine days for a total distance of about 19,000 kilometres.
Twice in a fortnight now it has taken eight days for a parcel to travel from Melbourne to Albury, total distance about 300 kilometres.
If you do your maths, the parcel from the US has travelled at about 88 km/h, the one from Melbourne 1.5 km/h.
And it wants to reduce our deliveries?
It’s about time someone reintroduced the pony express.
