Thanks for letting us know Lucas {up}

It's annoying, but inevitable :?

I'll keep an eye out for the new pricing system ...

You're welcome Lucas {up}

It's not that big, but it is a big rise ($0.10 for letters up to 50g to places other than the Asia/Pacific region)

My last lot of international requests went out mid last month, and now I'm stuck on who to write to next :P. I guess I'll just have to live with the price rise when I do finally send out some new requests overseas.

The Australia Post ads are sort of everywhere, even their website has undergone a bit of a face lift.

I bought 2 IRC's today and realised they have also gone up in price. They're now $2.70 each.

Hi Carmelo :D

I would assume almost all the post offices would sell IRC's. I couldn't tell you for certain though.

I have had no problems buying IRC's here in Melbourne - I've been to a number of different post offices and they've all had them.

I was gonna make a new topic for this question but since everyone who's looking at this topic are Australians then I am gonna ask here:

Is it cheaper to buy Pre-paid International Letters (6.35) or should I just sent by stamps?

Cheers,
Carmelo
