It's a pity about volumetric weight. Otherwise I would have loved to have
gone to the Post Office with helium-filled balloons, tied them to the scales
and argued they would have to pay me to send them.
Australia Post volumetric weights are based on you having to ship
depleted uranium to get your money's-worth.
I reckon auspost should slowly introduce rates based on density but that would be a nightmare for the marketing team to sell. Back to school.
