I can't fault the politeness from the woman who served me but unfortunately info given was incorrect. I was told by a Aust post staff member to queue up and speak with lady behind the counter . Happy to do this, had a number of small parcels to post to the same address in the eastern states. She advised I should use two large parcel bags. She put 2 parcels in one, weighed it and said (for two small gifts) would cost me $68. Then had to weigh 2nd parcel which would cost a similar amount. She said it goes by weight and size . I have sent gifts before to my son at same address and haven't paid more than $28. So I left didn't wish to query it , left and went to Craigie post office. Same postal bag, same gifts ,,,the lady put all my parcels in the same bag and cost me $28. !! Taped it up express post and voila. Done!! Not sure where she got $68 from? Had I continued at Whitfords would have paid a ridiculous $136 for a few gifts to be sent interstate. Also I was told at Whitfords , my gifts would not arrive for Xmas on time, either by normal parcel Post or express parcel , fortunately I disregarded this information aswell as I had checked online & the last day to post express to be received by Xmas was the 15th . I therefore saved myself over $140 and as it stands now (tracking) my gifts are on their way to Sydney in plenty of time before Xmas.!!
