Hello!

I am talking about the snail mail type. I hear people talking on the bus that before long, receiving mail is going to be subject to you paying Australia Post a fee each year to deliver. I hope it is not true, as I sure won’t be doing that. I have slowly been cutting out snail mail where I can, and also emails that seem to mount up so quickly. How about you mums and dads? What would you do?

  • I’m glad we don’t have to pay for mail yet !


  • As it is now we receive our mail every two days and we just don’t get as much due to written bills converting to mobile phones on emails or text.


  • I pay $2 for my phone bill


  • I suspect this is just a rumor. I can’t see them getting away with it.


  • Apparently,mAustralia Post is losing money due to snail mail becoming obsolete! Currently they’re discussing cutting back deliveries, deliveries will be costing more but taking longer to arrive. So it wouldn’t be a surprise to me if this one day also becomes true


  • That would be terrible, I can see it happening though. Their already talking about increasing the cost of a stamp to a dollar and yet there will be less deliveries!! Not sure how they work that out :/


  • no,don’t think they will get away with this one… they do need to reduce service, as there just isn’t the volume of mail anymore. don’t worry, send mail and promote the service


  • Postage is expensive enough as it is! I thought that’s what pays for it to be delivered?…..


  • Disagree very strongly!! We pay excessive amounts already to send our mail so why on earth should we have to pay to receive it as well. It better be a joke, if not it’s just another way for the government to get money out of us!! Angry raaah. ;-)


  • It is something I am watching and following.


  • yeah we probably will have to


  • I really hope that we will not have to pay for our mail to be delivered in the future. One already pays for postage and I think that it is important that Australia Post keep on delivering mail regularly for free. I still enjoy getting mail in my actual not virtual mailbox. Unfortunately the art of letter writing is dying. With the popularity of emails the future jobs of posties will be severely jeapodised.


  • i would start collecting my mail


  • they were discussing changing it to different delivery days but I think that is not going to happen. besides, you pay postage to send surely that cannot charge to receive as well


  • Not a chance, if they bring it in, I will collect my mail weekly. That is why they pay for postage isn’t it?
