Norm ,I would not use a courier,I had one parcel that ,Aus Post took 16 days to get it a distance of one and a half hours ,I just used a courier and that took 22 days just to pick up the parcel and I rang them multiple times and they would ring saying it would be picked up on certain days but it wasn't ,with Aus Post tracking at least if your parcel takes too long you can message them online to go and find it ,the other day when I had to ring them it was a half hour wait to speak to them.
