Australia Post has opened its first Australia Post Parcels facility in Canberra this week, ahead of the upcoming busy shopping season.
The new format post office, located in Mitchell, is designed to make sending, collecting and returning parcels faster and more convenient for locals. It features 24/7 self-serve and parcel locker options. The accessible vending machines are stocked with packaging, stamps and other mailing items.
Josh Bannister , Australia Post executive general manager – retail, brand and marketing, said, “Australia Post Parcels has been designed with flexibility and convenience at its core, ensuring Australia Post continues to service customers where and when they need it most.
“The number one reason a customer visits the post office is to collect a parcel, so we’re making it easier and quicker to collect and send parcels at a time that suits them, especially as we head into the year’s busiest shopping season.”
Australia Post says the new format is designed to be flexible and scalable. Some feature a smaller physical footprint but with an efficient back-of-house setup to manage increased parcel volume.
