AusPost announces price hike

On 2 October, Australia Post will change the price of some products by an average of 2.8 per cent.
“These pricing changes will ensure we can continue to invest in our large and trusted delivery network, covering more than 4,000 post offices and 11.6 million delivery points each day,” the company said in a statement. “This will also allow us to manage increasing costs across the delivery network.”
The company added that it had strived to keep prices unchanged on a number of popular products, including parcel post satchels.
“In the last 12 months, we have made substantial investments in our delivery network including launching six dedicated Qantas freighter aircraft and announcing 500 additional free Parcel Locker locations at Woolworths sites,” the company added.
