This will be managed at the Post Office.

We understand that these delays can be incredibly frustrating and we apologise for any inconveniences caused.

23.01.2022 Rodney Boys, Acting Australia Post CEO, explains the current stress on parcel deliveries due to the impact of Covid Delta.

22.01.2022 AUSTRALIA POST UPDATE 9 SEPTEMBER 2020 DELIVERY DELAYS IN VICTORIA Dear Customers,... Your deliveries are on their way to you but due to network congestion many parcels are taking longer to arrive than usual. There may also be more time between tracking updates. This has been driven by the current situation in Victoria, the wider increase in parcel numbers, and COVID-19 restrictions across the country which have impacted deliveries and services. CHANGES TO OUR NETWORK CAPACITY IN VICTORIA FROM STAGE 4 RESTRICTIONS: We've been required to reduce our workforce capacity in our processing facilities in Melbourne and introduce split shifts. Many Victorian deliveries need to go via Sydney for sorting overnight due to the restriction on team members in Victoria. Online buying has increased in Victoria as people are unable to visit the shops which has sent parcel volumes skyrocketing. On some days, over 80% of parcels being sent and received in Australia are coming from, or end up in Victoria. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR DELIVERY: You may notice when tracking your parcel, that it is coming from a different location than you're used to. This is to make sure we are using all the extra capacity available in our network to process parcels as safely and quickly as we can. TO KEEP UP TO DATE AND TRACK YOUR PARCELS: We recommend tracking your parcel via our tracking tool on our website or our app which shows the most accurate information on expected delivery dates. The best place to see the most recent information on impacts to our network, and any changes to services is our Coronavirus impacts page. OUR TEAM ARE UPDATING OUR WEBSITE WITH ANY QUERIES YOU MAY HAVE INCLUDING: Impacts to Post Offices International parcel delays and restrictions Express Post delays What we're doing to help deliver faster We're here to support you We know this is a tough time for many. Our main focus is getting your items delivered as quickly as possible whilst keeping our people safe. We thank you for your ongoing support and patience. Your team at Australia Post

This means that during the COVID-19 crisis: ~ There are currently no interruptions to Balmoral mail deliveries, whether it is roadside, PO Box or collection at the Post Office ~To minimise the risk of infection via unneccessary travel, parcels will be delivered to your mailbox wherever possible, eliminating the need for your signature and a trip to the Post Office... ~ At Balmoral Post Office, sanitising procedures are done throughout the day, social distancing is enforced, and hand sanitising is mandatory for all customers ***NO NEED TO TRAVEL TO HAMILTON OR HORSHAM*** WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES WHICH CONTINUES UNINTERRUPTED : ~ Banking at over 70 banking institutions with bank@post ~ Pay your bills with PostBillPay ~ Apply / renew Passports ~ ID Photos ~ Working with Children checks ~ National Police Checks ~ Land Title Transfers ~ Western Union ~ Phone & Broadband recharge ...and more.

22.01.2022 AUSTRALIA POST UPDATE 11 AUGUST 2020 Last week, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced that stage 4 restrictions would apply across Melbourne until 13 September 2020. In line with these restrictions, from Tuesday 11 August, we're required to reduce the number of people in our metro Melbourne distribution facilities. This will be coupled with split shifts, allowing cleaning between shifts and adherence to a COVID Safe Plan. These restrictions do not apply to any of our ope...rations and deliveries network in regional Victoria. This will have an impact on our ability to service businesses who rely on us for their customers' online deliveries. It may also affect how fast we can deliver to the broader Australian community. You may notice in the coming weeks, when tracking your parcels, that they are being processed and delivered from alternate locations. This is to ensure we keep moving items through our network as quickly as we can, whilst adhering to the stage 4 restrictions. Our priority will be to make sure that essential services, such as medicine, are available to keep our most vulnerable members of the community safe. Our Post Offices will remain open during this difficult time and our posties and drivers remain on the road. While we're doing everything we can to deliver your online purchases as safely and quickly as possible, we hope you understand that these additional restrictions may cause further delays. Thank you for your ongoing support and patience during this challenging time.

18.01.2022 Covid Delta is highly infectious and for the safety of the community precautions must be taken when entering the Post Office. Please assist by remembering to carry your phone and check in prior to entry, and sanitise your hands at the sanitising station at the door. Face masks must be worn. If Delta enters the Post Office, it will close.... There are numerous signs to remind you, and your consideration is expected and appreciated as we work hard together to turn the Delta tide.

16.01.2022 AUSTRALIA POST DELIVERY UPDATE During these challenging times, Australia Post is working hard to deliver your parcels. Current volumes however exceed even our busiest Christmas period and we are processing close to two million parcels a day. This heavy volume coupled with significantly reduced flights and the impact of social distancing in our facilities has led to delays. To adapt to these pressures weve made the following changes:... > Facilities are operating 24/7 and our drivers are delivering on weekends. > Fifteen new or repurposed processing facilities have been added to increase capacity. > Eight extra freighter flights have been added within Australia so we now have seventeen dedicated air freighter flights per day. > Hundreds of casual staff have been recruited into the network and contact centres. > International notifications have been updated for better visibility and well advise you if your parcel needs to go by sea. Some small changes to help us move your parcel faster: > Make sure that the label and barcode on your parcels are clearly visible so its easier for us to scan. > Update your delivery address so your favourite websites know that youre working from home. > Where possible, use flat standard packaging, as this will make it easier for us to manage and deliver. > Check the international updates section on our website to see which overseas destinations we are currently sending to and receiving from. > For those sending or waiting on international parcels, please be aware that there are significant delays to many destinations due to limited flights and government restrictions. Impacts to the United States of America, New Zealand, Germany and France are significant with severe delays being experienced. Where airline capacity does become available, we continue to prioritise Express Parcels. A number of destinations also have full service suspensions where we are unable to move parcels due to airport closures or major delivery issues. We understand that these international and local impacts are frustrating, but our posties, delivery drivers, Post Office team members and contact centre staff are doing their best, so please show them a little understanding. As a reminder, our tracking tool provides you with the most accurate guidance on estimated delivery dates and advises you of any delays while your parcel is in transit. To get the most from the post and to stay up to date on on all service impacts, please visit our website. Thank you for your patience. Your team at Australia Post.

10.01.2022 The odd parcel delivery from friends, family, or online shopping has gotten a lot of people through low moments in lockdown. Our posties have been overwhelmed s...ince the beginning of the pandemic. And now with 500 staff in isolation due to COVID-19 outbreaks, they’re struggling. Essential workers deserve our respect and gratitude, always. So to all the Australia Post staff, thank you for making some pretty average days feel special.

10.01.2022 CORRECT USE OF POSTAGE STAMPS Balmoral Post Office has seen an increase in the use and attempted re-use of previously used postage stamps. All stamps should be cancelled by a postmark at the office of posting, however this does not always occur.... PLEASE BE ADVISED: Regardless of whether a postage stamp has been been cancelled by a postmark or not, re-use of stamps is illegal. It amounts to avoiding payment for the postal service you require. It also shows a lack of support for your local Post Office. Thank you for your co-operation.

10.01.2022 The price of general postage stamps has increased. Postage stamp is now $1.10 Book of 10 stamps is now $11 Book of 20 stamps is now $22... Roll of 100 stamps is now $110 See more

09.01.2022 AUSTRALIA POST UPDATE 26 AUGUST 2020 Over the last three weeks, Australia Post has experienced a significant increase in demand as Victorians have increased their online buying due to stage 4 lockdowns.

We want to reassure you that our people continue to work tirelessly under difficult and un...precedented circumstances with a firm commitment to serve you and your community. As a result of the constraints on our network and the continuing rise in parcel volumes, our speed and ability to deliver has been impacted. And while we're doing everything we can to deliver your online purchases as safely and quickly as possible, we hope you understand that these additional restrictions have resulted in increased delays.
