Can you explain this please, I'm pretty dense.
Thanks,
So basically you setup a new account with your existing gmail?
@I Smell Pennies: Firstly this is not unique to Gmail. There is standardised compliance documents on how they most he handled and any reputable server will obey them or end up on a block list.
Second; Dots and pluses are not equal when it comes to email. Not s the handling of dots necessarily the same across all mail aervers.
Plus is heavily defined and will always behave by creating a new folder within the IMAP inbox, and deliver the mail there and for all subsequent receipts.
Dots are designated as a unique entity within email, that is all. Gmail chooses to ignore its presence. Some servers .may forbid or set spam rules based on the presence of dots. It's for the receiving server to decide how it wishes to handle dots so you.am5 assume it will work before testing it
TLDR: D stands for disposable. Dots are disposable, use them for mail you don't care about .
Plus equals addition. Pluses give you additional control and functionality over your incoming email.Use it to sort your mail BEFORE it clogs your inbox.
Certain things won't allow plus boxes as addresses because of the know.abuwe potential. You will never see this from a reputable organisation because it is non compliant with email standards. Generally slightly less legitimate corners of the internet are where you can find plus blocking .
Most of the leading private mail services outside the Fremium companies actually state their exact handling of both characters and use it we a selling points for their product and across their product options (eg. Lowest plan mqy allow 5+ addresses, mid 50+ addresees and most top plans allow unlimited)

Wait till you learn about +
craigoss will have his mind blown
@Muzeeb Do you need to create a new Australia post business account with new email id every 12 weeks? With same ABN?
Or can you change the email address in the old Australia Post Business account with new email address every 12 weeks and apply the code again?
In the 1st case, isn't it difficult to compile all the data/expense at the end of year?
New account technically but all the info is sent to the primary email address.
I don't run it as a business, just selling shit on marketplaces.
Thanks. There's nothing else to worry about with it though? Like, on my current APB account I have my address as return sender and I've created many online orders. If I create a new account with the same return address, that's not gonna get me flagged?
To answer your question since I accidentally commented here … Short answer is probably not.
It's generally up to the mail recipient to manually look for that distinction. There's no time for this and no easy way to define when dots are allowed and when they're not. First . Last@ is a defacto email standard so despite it not being in the email compliance doca almost all servers handle dots without prejudice.
Band 3,pfft im band 69
Don't get too ahead of yourself there.
Thanks! Worked for me. Existing account.
even with band 5, the savings are crap
Better than no saving at all.
This should become the new new ozbargain tagline/motto.
I'm on band 2 with my business account, wondering if it's worth attaining band 3 naturally or just creating a new account every 3 months
do the math
Well I guess the benefit is that I don't need to keep creating accounts and all my orders are in one place
looking for someone's actual exp:
if sending <500g in same city, post current price is $10.6
so with this band3, I can get 30% off = final $7.42?
Yup
Still working.
Promo code applied! It will be ready to use in the next couple of hours
Interestingly, the is available immediately to new orders, but it may not show under "send&save" for a few hours
im on band 5 and the savings are dog crap still
OWN packaging or Flat rate boxes/satchels?
That high of a volume and you're still using AusPost? You're giving money away . If you're in FMCG ane/or have distro huh warehousing Aramex is the cheapest of the bigger players I believe
Sendle is AusPost best guarantee, and a number of smaller carrier and private courier aggregation services are available for very affordable prices. You need to consider modern logistics not Australia Post = the best postal service in australia because of its name.
Auspost….no thanks.
Auspost got the band 3 back together
Just tried, get the error "This code has already been used."
I don't recall using it in the past.
Edit: New customers only - as in, no one that has used this deal before.
On the previous post's comments it says:
If you have used the coupon code before, you cannot apply it again. You'll need to create a new account.
This is a good deal. Thank you!
No band 28
works , thank you
Im already band 3
Legend! It still works, will save alot of $$ on ebay sending especially international. Was previously on band 1 because I was using sendle as it was cheaper most of the time.
For someone who already has Band 3- does it make the ebay Prepaid 3kg satchels cheaper or is it just postage labels?
There no ebay prepaid satchels … Ebay is postal labels at eBay negotiated rate.You have prepaid satchels (a retail product so everyone pays the same) and you have flat rate satchels and ebay flat rate satchels . EBay flat rate < Flat rate < Prepaid in relation to cost .
Im on band 4 now
Still working, though note it now forces you to set a mobile phone number (which you can't delete) and it only allows that mobile number to be on one account (it will delete it from other accounts and trigger emails).
After using Aramex, I never want to go back to AusPost, so convenient not going to the post office and having cheaper prices than the band 3 for most cities.
Is it reliable and as fast though? Do they have dropoff locations as well?
Wouldn't call the reliable or fast, but I don't care if I am offering free postage, I give my customers the choice between AusPost and Aramex 9/10 choose Aramex because they don't want to pay, I think you can drop it off if you want however I don't really need to, the drivers always come to me on time, unlike CouriersPlease, don't even get me started on them! A parcel to Melbourne with Aramex costs me $7.50 without having to leave my house and AusPost with the Band 3 is around $9, and I have to make time to go to the post office.
Yeah that's fair. I'm from New Zealand and here Aramex have a really poor reputation. Slow & lots of lost parcels. But these last few weeks I've maybe only sent 10 parcels and had delays or missing/redirections on half of them. They did pay up and compensate quickly for the 1 missing one though, and it reappeared soon after so got a nice payout there.
I actually prefer the drop off at post office as we live in a apartment/lobby system and pickups are tricky. And I like that you can just bring a QR code and they will print it for you.
Is sendle any good? They seem quite a bit cheaper for larger parcels. I will probably try them in the future.
@Liger Zero: Sendle for me was okay for a bit, however most of their deliveries contracted out to CouriersPlease (sometimes Aramex here and there), however I found myself contacting CouriersPlease support at one point 5 times a week because of an issue with parcels and I got sick of it, and to add onto it my courier, usually just won't turn up for days, not even marking them not available, just literally not turning up and leaving it blank in the system and skipping it, it got quite frustrating and I've found Aramex always turn up to pickup on time, if CouriersPlease actually decided to pickup, I'd go back to them probably as they are a LOT faster, but they don't so here I am with Aramex, haha.
@7bobas: Oh man you're screwed.
If you're using Sendle use Sendle not CP. Sendle have contracts that must be fulfilled (which is 2 missed days in a row and it's free). Instead your calling someone who doesn't even see you as a customer? I. Surprised they didn't tell you to get stuffed, they had every right to.
Aramex
shudder
reliable
No
fast
GOD no
But really, I’ve had no problems with them. Heard some top notch horror stories from here over the years though
I've found them to be VERY hit or miss, some deliveries take up to 3-4 weeks, the courier/s on my run are amazing, the lady on the desk at my local depot has one of the worst attitudes ever, their online "support" doesn't exist, nor does "AIAP claims" department in my experience, so if an item is lost or damaged you're out of pocket yourself.
Yeh I've got a couple . I still have the abusive texts from a driver . But package 2we never delivered, I never saw her, and there's nothing to connect all the dots to raise and issue as the recipient .
No & No. This is the price you pay, of don't pay rather. You're not paying them to do either, your paying them to save you money and to do that corners must be cut
@7bobas You're in for a rude and abrupt awakening! Good luck!
This. FMCG cheapest
Still working as of 11/04/2025
I'll be sad when they eventually pull the promo!
not working as of today, anyone else?
initially it didn't work, but after trying a few others and it failing, I tried this code again and it worked
Does anyone know if its still active, and/or how long it takes to apply to your new account? has been an hour and not updated this morning.
Nope. I just use the Gmail full stop trick and have had no issues for the last year. Just takes a few minutes effort every 12 weeks.
