Quite likely. The reality for austpost is that sales of stamps (and letters) have tanked.

Austpost however is probably the only organisation with a physical shopfront in every postcode - not even banks manage that, so there’s certainly an issue around funding that in a sustainable way long term.

I still think they need to get their head around holding parcels for collection on say Saturday mornings instead of wasting the couriers time attempting to deliver to homes on weekdays when 90% of the time no one is home.

A model like FedEx of having a depot servicing a larger area might be ok if they can reliably deliver as well as FedEx does, but that’s unlikely in Austposts case, many seem to be incompetent.
