Registered post (local)

[Verse1]

Hey guys when i usually send registered post i have to fill out a form but yesterday my old girl posted something for me and there was no form to fill out and she was just given a sticker on the reciept saying it was sent registered.

Whats the deal with that?

Odd, sounds more like express than registered.

i have never filled out a form when I have sent registered post. I buy the pre-paid registered post envelopes..........my local post office just stamps the tear off bit and away it goes.

Weird...... I always have to fill something out.

Ive been told the same thing by my post office Versey, no more forms! Woo!

Just rock up, they chuck a sticker on and it's done.

Sounds a bit dodgy?? what happens if you want extras or insurance?? where is that suppose to be recorded???

I had to fill out the normal yellow forms when i sent mine registed yesterday....maybe we are behind??


You could use the pre registed envelope as one member said, but then you would be banned from here if it was trading from here..... so not a real smart idea

I believe if you do want extra insurance & bells & whistles etc there is still a form to fill out. I think the 'stick it and run' idea is just for straight forward registered. The lady told me you can buy pre-paid registered stickers as well, but I cant see the point if you have to goto the counter with registered mail anyway.

Um yeah I wouldnt stress Sacha, it sounds like these stickers are just starting to be pushed by Australia Post.

If you could still use if cuz of thickness requirements you could put in a case and wrap in bubble wrap - that'd be the same as a bubble mailer.

THE PLOT THICKENS!

My GF just went to the post office to post a registered mail parcel.

The post office told her that Australia Post have backflipped, and now the forms need to be filled out again!

Dont worry Verse, ive posted a few registered this week without a form as well. Will be interesting to see what happens!!!!!

 

[Verse1]

It should be alright..............i hope

That is so you can buy 10 and get 5% discount and do not have to use them all at once. Or if you have a lot of mailing, then you package all your stuff at home and drop them off at the post office.

You can now only buy 100 at a time... havent been able to buy only 10 for a few months...

I just bought 10 today from the post office w/ 5% discount...southbank post office does it no worries (I also goto werribee post office when i'm not at work and they're fine in there too)

Some PO's say you don't need the paperwork, others say you do. At the end of the day if you sell registered post on ebay and the buyer pays paypal, then as far as I know you need the form with tracking numbers, addresses, etc for proof, otherwise if dodgy buyer says item not received then seller is in trouble...
Prepaid reg post envelopes have the info on the tearoff slip with PO date stamp so are ok
