Australia Post are Introducing a Second Delivery Timetable for Business Letter Products.

March 2014

On 2 June 2014, a second delivery timetable will be introduced for Imprint mail, Metered mail, Clean mail and Local Country letters.

This second delivery timetable is already available for PreSort letters and Charity mail. This timetable will be named the 'Regular' timetable from 2 June 2014. The current delivery timetable (which provides next day delivery within the same city or town) will continue to be available but will be renamed

the 'Priority' timetable.

Letters sent using the 'Regular' timetable will cost less than the 'Priority' delivery timetable and will take one to two business days more than those sent by 'Priority'.

Offering two delivery timetables - 'Priority' and 'Regular' - for more products provides increased choice and allows you to pay for the delivery speed that best suits your need.

Depending on the delivery timetable you choose, how you prepare and present your mail (particularly envelopes) may need to change from 2 June 2014.

Below is a link to the complete details and how this may affect your mailings process by Median. Please contact Colin Clancy to clarify any questions you may have.
