Declining postal volumes are one reason Australia Post wants to put up the price of stamps, but it’s also trying to encourage people to send more mail, and offering a free set of electronic scales to anyone who registers for its Click and Send service is one way of doing that.
Lest you worry that Click And Send sounds like some dodgy campaign that will encourage junk mail, it’s a service that lets you fill out the paperwork for goods being sent overseas online, and then either have them picked up by a courier or posted via your local office. It’s free to sign up for, and would be handy for businesses, eBay addicts and people with overseas relatives, while the scales giveaway is running until September 20. Picture by czardases

“Your browser system should be one of the following:
* Internet Explorer 6.xx
* Internet Explorer 7.xx
* Mozilla Firefox 2.0x
* Mozilla Firefox 3.0x”
Does it work in Internet Explore 8?

Friday, August 14, 2009 at 3:57 PMHmmm… a webdesigner at Australia Post needs to get on the ball, and realise that there’s newer browsers out there… Went to the Click and Send website, and got a nice “warning” message: “Your system may not be compatible with this application”… it turns out that it was doing browser checking… but only for IE 6-7 and Firefox 2-3.0, no checking for IE8 or Firefox 3.5…

The rest of you have just signed up for some junk mail.
