Interesting, because, on a marginal basis, it probably saves Australia Post delivery costs, making this another example of the security/convenience trade-off.
Normally, you want the convenience of home delivery - but this allows you to trade that for security.

- kaliblack 14y agoI couldn't find anything that made it free with conditions. I thought there was a catch when they said "free to register" but everything seemed to be legit.
- thmcmahon 14y agoIt's not convenient in Australia to have packages delivered, if you're not there when they're delivered then they generally end up either at the Post Office or at some random courier's warehouse in an out of the way part of town.
- timv 14y agoWow, your delivery gut checks whether you're there? Most of them have decided that coming to the door is too much work and just drop the "come collect your parcel" card in the letter box.
- damian2000 14y agoThat used to happen regularly to me too, when I lived in an apartment. I managed to make a complaint about it once to the local postmaster.
