MyPost Deliveries is a new service from Australia Post that lets you choose exactly where your parcels get delivered — be it your work address, parcel locker, local post office or the house of a family member. Best of all, the service is free.
You can then choose when and where you receive your parcels when you shop online. Handily, you can set up multiple addresses on your MyPost account and change the delivery point for specific parcels.
You can register for the free service via the aforementioned MyPost website or by visiting your local post office. As an added bonus, Australia Post is giving away a 500 gram Express Post satchel worth $10.55 when customers sign up for a Parcel collection ID card (MyPost card.)
Beware!
Fees and charges will apply to carriers other than Australia Post and StarTrack to lodge parcels under the Parcel Locker and Parcel Collect (Post Office) services. This cost may be passed on to customers.
Please note: Australia Post will accept domestic and international parcels from other carriers into our Parcel Lockers, if those parcels have been lodged by the carriers as Australia Post articles addressed to the recipients' Parcel Lockers.
StarTrack is a subsidiary of Australia Post, and parcels carried by StarTrack will be accepted for delivery into Parcel Lockers. We have informed other carriers of our new policy and it is up to the carrier to decide if they wish to pay to deliver to the Parcel Lockers. Where possible, customers are advised to check which shipping partners or parcel delivery provider/s are available on the website they're buying from.
Not so sure if I really want to risk extra fees, a lot of sellers use different courier companies…
