Need to return an item to a reply paid address, is it possible to pay a little extra to add tracking?
Reply Paid with Tracking

Yes. Your PO will confirm this for you.
No, it was an in store purchase from awhile back. Need to send it in for repair, so want some sort of proof I have posted it or better still it has been delivered.
No worries, ask the Store for an RA or Return Authority.
Assuming they use Auspost, take it to a Post Office and approach the counter staff for assistance with Packaging and Tracking info via MyPost
You can buy from the Post Office parcel label stickers to apply to an item that will provide full tracking
We had to send an item for warranty just the other week, using reply paid. The post office staff member asked us if we wanted tracking, which we did and just paid for that. Worked well.
Thanks for this info, how much was the tracking label?
Ok, looks like it's $2.95 extra, which is reasonable for peace of mind.

Tracking
Return Paid parcels does not have tracking provided. However tracking is provided when Signature of Delivery is purchased and combined with the Return Paid service.
Was it paid via PayPal?
If so, then Courier.
Pay with your PayPal account and we can refund your return shipping costs if you need to send anything back – up to $45 per return and 8 returns each year.

Otherwise:
Proof that you've returned a parcel will depend how you've sent it back for return.
If you’re returning to a retailer who has provided us with your email address, you’ll receive:
an email confirming that we’ve got it
an email confirming it’s been delivered to the retailer.
If the retailer hasn’t given us your email address:
returns through a Free 24/7 Parcel Locker receive a lodgement track event and an email confirmation of lodgement
returns made over the counter at a Post Office will receive a receipt and have a track event recorded.
