We've looked into this quite a bit actually. Auspost did work out the cheapest, at least initially. However, Auspost's recent price increase was particularly painful. Children's books have fairly large dimensions, so our pricing is largely dictated by parcel size, rather than weight.
I can't remember whether this factored in, but we are ourselves reasonably remote. Technically Melbourne, but not really. So I think the typical advertised rates aren't always accessible to us.
It doesn't help that Auspost recently implemented some sort of automated parcel measuring/weighing and it's incredibly wrong. We use the exact same box for every single delivery, yet we randomly receive bills to our business account claiming we've underpaid postage due to the odd parcel supposedly fluctuating in dimensions, by over 10cm in some cases!
Needless to say, we will definitely be revisiting this again. Will for sure check-out Sendle again. Thanks!
- AussieWog93 5y ago>we are ourselves reasonably remote Ahh, in that case you might be boned. Sendle rates can be pretty ridiculous for anywhere deemed remote, with pretty arbitrary definitions too. Clyde and Warrandyte are "remote", for example, but Lilydale and Rosebud (!!!) aren't.
