For Christmas in Queensland


A new dedicated Australia Post freighter has taken to the skies transporting up to 60 t of mail each week to and from Brisbane, improving parcel delivery times for local online shoppers ahead of Christmas.

 

The new service comes as local demand for parcels booms, with online shopping growth for the first eight months of the pandemic up 64% year-on-year. Popular purchases on the Gold Coast include food and liquor (+90%), as well as home and garden products (78%).

 

Australia Post has also boosted capacity on the ground welcoming 1,000 new recruits to its Queensland operations. The Brisbane facility – the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere – celebrated its first birthday in October and has processed more than 85 million parcels in its first year of operation.
