With the recent changes to mail delivery speeds practitioners should consider just how quickly they want mail recipients to receive documents.

From 4th January Australia Post introduced the choice of three different delivery speeds when sending a letter:

1. Express post – which is next business day guaranteed;
Special envelope and mailed in the yellow post box or in the post office itself.

2. Priority post – one to four business days – depending on the delivery destination;
Regular envelope, regular stamp now $1, and a priority label 50c, mailed in the red post box or in the post office itself.

3. Regular post – up to two business days longer than priority post, which means delivery could take up to six business days.
Regular envelope, regular stamp mailed in the red post box or in the post office itself.

Makes email and electronic exchanges look good!
