Blimey, it’s December tomorrow — so if you’re going to be posting presents and cards, you’ll need to be facing the dubious prospect of a Post Office queue. In a bid to quell the crowds, Australia Post is extending hours at 300 of its stores over December.
The extension hours vary by location, so hit the list to see if your local is running longer hours. Even with those changes in place, be prepared to wait — lunch hours in CBD post offices are normally super-packed over much of this month.

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 4:58 PMGood to see my post office is still open 9-5 Monday to Friday. I wouldn’t want any of the poor souls working there to be put out by having to when when other people aren’t.

Bahhh HUMMMBUG!

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 7:36 PMOn an almost-related note – my wife posted some Xmas cards my kids made for my Dad, but she forgot to put stamps on the envelope.
This afternoon I got a call from my father thanking my kids for the cards. It seems like Australia Post is really getting into the Xmas spirit.

Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 6:36 AMI have given up on Auspost, too expensive for Christmas parcels. If you look around you can send it cheaper and faster by courier.
