One-off Reliable Fax Service

MeesusEff on 21/02/2020 - 18:30

Hi All,

my bag got stolen a few days ago and Latitude insurance requires Post/Fax to file a Merchandise claim. Unfortunately the due date of my protection for one of the items is on the 7th March so would prefer the 'instant' option instead of the posting which has no time guarantee. Unfortunately my family doesnt have access to fax machines.

Does anyone know any online fax service that actually works, and is a one-off payment rather than subscribing to some monthly plan? Or preferably an Android app which I can use my Google Rewards credit on? I would prefer online/mobile instead of going to a physical store as it is a bit hard to cart around my baby by myself. Or does anyone know the store with cheapest rates ie. Officeworks (not sure if they still fax as I couldnt find it on their website) or AusPost?

    Have you tried PDF24’s Faxing Service?

    It is free if you send under 5 faxes per month.

      Thanks! I'll look it up tonight and see if it's reliable. I have 5 pages so just nice!

    If its one off, just walk into auspost and ask them to fax it. They'll give you a confirmation receipt it was sent.

    Or play around with the online ones and hope they arrive :)

      Yeah i might have to bite the bullet on that one if the above doesn't work. Too bad they don't have an online price list.

      • JimmyF on 21/02/2020 - 21:04

        its outrageous, about $2 a page, but….. its one off.

    Public library maybe?

    • MeesusEff on 21/02/2020 - 20:18

      OOo $1 for the first page and 60c after, that's not too bad! Thanks for that 😊 open til 5 tomorrow as well 😁

    I used officeworks not long ago.. cant remember the price tho, but it was reasonable

    know anyone that works in a big 4 or any large corporation

    every printer/copier is usually a fax too

    • MeesusEff on 22/02/2020 - 04:21

      Haha yeah, I used to work there and would send it off at work. Ah well, none that I'm close enough to call and ask for a favour and meet up haha

    Can't believe in 2020 business's still use facsimile.

      Making us work hard for our money 🤔

      Optus complaints uses faxes and post as well. Its a scam obviously.

      • MeesusEff on 22/02/2020 - 17:18

        Must be a real bad complaint if you have to spend money to file one 😂

  • thatonethere on 22/02/2020 - 08:29

    Our work just replaced all the printers and didn't renew the fax feature.

    Some of the ok boomers types were up in arms about not being able to fax their GP etc.

  • Melb69 on 22/02/2020 - 08:40

    Post office?

  • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2020 - 17:14

    get one off gumtree for free or very cheap.

    • MeesusEff on 22/02/2020 - 17:17

      Pretty sure I don't have that phone line thing 🤔

    Thanks @screamingeagle for the idea. Called Office works as they were closer but no one picked up the phone so headed to the library.

    On the website it says there's a charge for 1300 / local numbers but they didn't charge me in the end as 1300's are free calls. Signed up for a card and borrowed some books as well. Libraries are awesome 😁
