Committed to continuously improving our products and services? — Did PO Box service improve by 77% during past 10 years? Nope. The boxes look, feel and work in exactly same way as in 2004, 1994 or 1984.
At completive prices? — By competing with whom?
PO Box notifications coming soon. We'll soon provide you with electronic notifications to let you know when you have mail awaiting collection. Simply update or confirm your details and we'll be in touch to let you know how to receive notifications.
Collection Notifications coming soon.
we can send you an email and / or SMS notification when you have an item waiting to be collected. Though AusPost finally mentioned in its Post Office Box Service Terms and Conditions that, in order to eventually get the notifications, the customers must open a MyPost Digital Mailbox, the online service Australia Post keeps actively pushing after losing its ability to deliver real mail properly and promptly. The so-called email notification will be, in fact, a message sent to the MyPost Digital Mailbox, and the so-called SMS is nothing more than a push notification through the MyPost app, which has to be tied to a MyPost Digital Mailbox and has huge limitations on what phones and mobile systems it works with. All in all: useless, unnecessarily complicated, privacy-invading, and not even there yet.
your personal information may be used to provide you with information about our products and services, as well as information from other businesses (including unaddressed mail) directly to your PO Boxclearly states: there will be junk mail. To open Australia Post Digital Mailbox, the customer has to have an email address; so why not receive the bills directly to the personal email address, without dragging a dubious third party into it and entrusting that third party with your security, online safety, personal and banking details?
would be unable to provide this service. How they have been able to provide exactly same PO boxes with a more reliable, fast and affordable delivery without excessive privacy intrusion up until now, is a mystery. It looks more like an excuse to grab as much personal data as possible instead of actually providing a good service.
may retain a copy of your data to comply with our regulatory obligations. So it is best to avoid creating the account in the first place, and if you were tricked into creating it and do not want it, delete it and also lodge a complaint with AusPost demanding that they should add a quick and easy way to delete these accounts online. They didn't require the person to call to create the account, so they shouldn't be using phone call obstacles for deleting it.
We will be unable to process your application if you do not provide the information requested. They somehow have been able to process the same application for the same boxes for decades without this information, but now suddenly they can't.
to submit your request, please login or sign up for MyPost account. AusPost calculated that after the person spent time and effort filling the first page, they are less likely to turn away and refuse to sign up. An annoying trick for harvesting personal data and increasing subscriber numbers.
