Cheapest Source for Australia Post Prepaid Satchels (Legitimate and Not Fakes)

Lrussianhacker on 26/06/2017 - 21:50

Hello,

I sell on eBay and most of my items go in 500g prepaid satchels that cost $80.75 ($8.08 each) if you buy a pack of ten from the post office.

The latest barrage of ebay sale codes have excluded these satchels now; TREAT, CRACKER and even the 5% code doesn't work!

Australia post 500g bags go for $78.50 per ten at the cheapest on ebay and the non-official (but still legitimate) blank bags with stamps go for $75 per ten (and I have seen them as low as $71 sometimes).

Anyone know anywhere to source legitimate satchels cheaper?

TLDR: Auspost official 500g prepaid satchels, where can you get 'em cheapest?

    Why are you not buying your postage via ebay?

    A single 500g postage is $7.40 + $0.15 for the bag = $7.55

      Hi thanks for reminding me about those, honestly I had forgotten!

      The only concern I had was the aviation declaration (sign here to say that there's no dangerous goods inside). As the ebay satchels don't seem to have this declaration on them I figured that I may as well use the satchels with stamps that you can buy on ebay for as cheap as $7.10 each if I was going to go without it. Paranoia then sets in as I feel concerned that I might have a parcel sent back to me if it can't go by air, which then causes a delay to the buyer and results in negative feedback. I was hoping to get legitimate Auspost satchels with the aviation declaration for a reasonable price to avoid this (albeit remote) chance.

        The aviation declaration is on the postage label printed, you print the postage label, sign it and slip into the postage slip section on bag. Seriously have you not received one of these packages in the last 4+ years?

        Using ebay to buy the postage, automagically updates ebay saying its sent, and enters the tracking number in etc. Stamps might be cheaper, but no tracking.

        For someone with paranoia, you make a lot of WRONG assumptions. Next time, don't assume, check the facts.
