One Thing I Don’t Like About The Post Is…

0 Comments

Inconsistency.

If this one didn’t convince you, listen to this:

I had 2 items to post the other day, so I took both my envelopes and went to the post.

Details about the items:

Item #1

Item #2

Size of padded envelope

Size 2

Size 2

Addressed to

NSW

Weight

130 g

Thickness

1.5 cm

1.5 cm

Postage type

Large letter

Parcel

Postage charge

$1.45

$4.00

Just by looking at these measurements, do you think that’s consistent at all?

  • Same measurements
  • Same weight
  • Packed the same way in same-sized envelope
  • Same person serving me

And yet they are charged SO differently!
Why is one a large letter and the other is a parcel?
They contain the exact same product inside!

So needing to send it out as soon as possible with no other posts around, I decided to let them charge me as they like… just this one time.

Oh well, at least buyer 1 received item #1 today.
That’s right, the one charged with a cheaper postage rate!

Someone explain this to me… because I don’t get it.
