Nearly all my packages are delivered by Australia Post on a rural run. I think you buy/tender for the run.

Is she running a business and gets paid per parcel or is she doing a job and just gets a flat rate? If the latter, I think I should give her a $20 gift card for Christmas because she always takes care of my stuff.

Anyone know how they operate or wish to share their approach?

    She would probably make less if she does own the business..

    Cash or a small gift.

    I think we've seen enough gift card horror stories for one year.

    Is her name Bev by any chance?

    • TooSerious2 on 22/12/2022 - 20:13

      She could very well be a Bev. Our town already has a Pat, Beryl and Judy. A few Karens and Madonna/Donnas as well.

    Plot twist, OP has the hots for the postie?

    • TooSerious2 on 22/12/2022 - 20:14

      See above. Bevs, Beryls and Judies don't really move me.

    Looks like a lobster in the letterbox has support.

    Box of Cadbury Favourites and a pineapple ($50) folded in the top flap.

      Lobster maybe, not a pineapple.

    Thoughts on beers for postie? Young fella is my regular postie.

    • mapax on 23/12/2022 - 08:19

      A regular postie will be on a bike or scooter, will he have room/capacity for a 6 pack?

      • Skramit on 23/12/2022 - 08:19

        Sorry I mean my guy who drives a van and deliveres all my amazon boxes :)

      • Slinky0111 on 23/12/2022 - 08:34

        Plenty of room for them to fit.

    • Slinky0111 on 23/12/2022 - 08:33

      Always

    Whilst australia post employees are not allowed to receive gifts is its against company policy as aus post is a government entity, it is very common to find beers, chocolates etc left out or inside letter boxes for the postie.

    • Euphemistic on 25/12/2022 - 20:48

      The policy may be along the lines of not allowed to accept unless the gift is of low or token value. Eg teachers in public system are not supposed to accept gifts over $50 value.
