The buying power of the Government owned Australia Post retail network is in plain view with their current offer of reflex for $4.95 a ream. While Big W and other retailers offer reflex for this price from time to time, only Australia Post pulls consumers in for such a low cost – thanks to their postal products monopoly.
This is where they abuse the protection of Government ownership. The Government owned Post Office opposite my newsagency ought not be competing with me in stationery – a sentiment shared with many newsagents in my situation.
UPDATE: I am reliably informed that Licenced Post Offices buy Reflex for $4.82 including GST. Not happy I suspect.
Its fabulous! I bought all of their stock and its now on sale in my store. They sell it cheaper than I can buy it so why not.
i refuse to purchase anything from australian post ever again and the same with reflex. in fact i work for a staionery company and not only do i sell other brands instead of reflex i actually i talk them out of reflex…
GO DOUBLE A!!!!
I checked the ATO website before I posted this and that says that the program started last year. It does not mention an end date.
