Hi guys, what's the best way to send a USB memory stick through Australia Post (within NSW only)?
I need to send a USB stick that's stopped working back to the seller for replacement. I checked AustPost's website and found some possibilities, but not sure if all of them are allowed. The stick itself is normal size at 9mm thick so that's something to consider.
Use a large postage prepaid envelope, which allows for up to 20mm. This costs $1.40. Optional Registered Post ($3.20?) This seems the cheapest, but Aust Post might not allow it.
Use a padded bag for $1.05, plus actual postage (unknown amount). Optional Registered Post ($3.20?)
Use Parcel Post ($8.25). Optional Registered Post ($3.20?) This should be the safest, but it is also over 50% of the original cost of the memory stick.
Thanks for any pointers.

Why would Auspost not allow an envelope if you are under the thickness? Nothing dangerous about a USB stick.
