Don't forget to take some photo ID to the post office, or they won't accept your package. You also have to fill out a customs declaration, so no fibbing about the contents!
The postie will type your drivers licence number into the computer when you lodge the package and form, and check that your address matches that on the form and the return address on the package. No ID, no return address - no package sent for you!
I was hoping I could take the lazy way out and have the kids walk the packages down to the post office, but they won't accept anything unless the person lodging the package can show photo ID.

This is only if the post office doesn't know you.
They write "known personally" in the space for driver's licence number.
Just as well, as I haven't the faintest clue where my driver's licence reposes. It & the medicare card surface every few years. God help me if I ever have to actually produce them for any reason.
Good point, Steve.
I keep misplacing my medicare card, but since we've been going to the same quack for years they just let me on in anyway.
Just saying hello. Nilk, you'll know who this is. Rotten headache all day, got up at 10:30pm, still debating if I'm working tomorrow (today?). Like the blog, will add it to my favourites and hammer the bods at work to take a look at it and will start putting care packages together myself, and encouraging bods at work to contribute. Let's see how we go...
What size package is correct? Ive got a shedload of magazines (crime type ones, get your mind out of the gutter!!) I can ship off. I might also have a whip around at work and see if I can round up FMH, ralph and those sorts as well.
So long as it's under 2kg you should be home and hosed, frollicking.
Anon at 12.32, my excuse is that I've been crook as with the lurgi that's going around, so I've not figured out who on earth you are yet lol. I'll need a clue or two. :)
Cool, Ill see if I can get a few off in the next few months.
Frollicking
Just make sure the pages aren't stuck together before you send them off.....
LOL, Boy.
MMMmmmmm crime magazines.....
Well Nilk, you know what those miners are like, with their, er, greasy fingers and all.
True, Boy. Sort of like the cookbooks here - especially the cake ones.
Grease...erm yup... thats what sticks the pages together....
I could get hold of bulkloads of pictuer, perople and pornos from the blokes, but it seems they wont make it past the censors...
Geezus, passion finger here again today. PIMF
From Anon at 12:32 - Nilk, I'll give you a clue - HEADACHE. If you can't guess from that, I'll throw a bucket at you.
ROFLMAO, TL. I know who you are now.
I've been told.
