With less than a month until Christmas, Australia Post is keeping Post Office doors open longer at over 170 locations, as it moves into its busiest festive period ever.
Residents in Cranbourne Park can visit their local Post Office six days a week during the extended retail hours of 9:00am – 5:00pm Monday to Friday, and 9:00am – 2:00pm Saturday, from today until December 21.
Australia Post General Manager Post Office Network David McNamara said extended trading hours will give customers more choice and convenience as they send and receive their Christmas gifts in time for the big day.
“We know Christmas is a really busy time of the year so we are giving our customers greater flexibility to come in and send all their presents, or pick them up, when it best suits them,” Mr McNamara said.
“With the online shopping boom continuing, we’re delivering record volumes and we want to make sure our customers have convenient access to our products and services to help them get ready for the big day.
“Last year we delivered 37 million parcels in December and we’re expecting to exceed that number this year, so it’s all hands on deck at Cranbourne Park Post Office.”
Mr McNamara said Australians have shopped up a storm this year, with parcels growing 10 per cent domestically.
“Our customers love the convenience of online shopping and we want to make sure they have a great delivery experience. By keeping our doors open longer, we’re making it easier for them to come in and collect, or send, their parcels.”
Along with extended trading hours, Australia Post customers also have the option of collecting their Christmas gifts at one of 330 free 24/7 parcel lockers across the country, and can track their deliveries more easily with improvements in parcel tracking.
