Australia Post - Costs For Posting Letters

Cabinet has approved a proposal by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull to introduce a two-tiered pricing scheme for letter deliveries that is expected to see basic stamp prices increase to $1.
The reforms will allow Australia Post to introduce a "regular" and "priority" letters service. Letters sent with a "regular" stamp will arrive an average of two days later than they do currently, with mail within metropolitan areas arriving a day later than the current timetable.
Wow, a 30 cent (43%) increase in posting a letter, which then takes 2 extra days to arrive. WTF.

I lightheartedly said to a colleague that I can get stuff from HK/China on eBay for $1, shipped to me, including the price of the item itself.

I think it's time to start up a print/post service in China. Print/post for less than the cost of an Australian stamp.
