Newsletter for Offshore Residents of Pittwater, Australia

Delivery of Courier (Non-Australia Post) Articles

to CP Post Office

With the boom in online shopping, the number of people attempting to have courier articles delivered offshore has increased dramatically.

So I thought it was a good time to update people on the current procedure.

Previously the official line from Australia post was no to any courier deliveries.

This has been changed to allow the delivery of non-Post articles to PO boxes Etc. as long as a Over The Counter Delivery Fee has been paid.

So if you are ordering something from a company that doesn't use Post, please take into consideration that it will cost you a nominal fee to have it delivered.

Addressing Your Parcel

Many companies will not accept a PO Box address, so addressing it to 1860 Pittwater Road Church Point,  which is the street number of the post office will get it here.

Please if possible, add a contact number, especially for larger parcels,as space is very limited and it helps speed up the whole process...In regard to larger parcels, a "heads up" would help, just so I know what to expect.

Thank you,
Hope this has made things a bit clearer?

Missing Black Mountain Bike (Crane)

A few days ago a black mountain bike was taken from the front of our house, 22 Robertson Road (directly behind Yamba). It was up on our lower steps and we think it went just prior to the clean out. It was not part of the clean out and we would like it back.

Please contact either:
Ant - 0415 846 172 or
Row - 0431 214 461

Or just return it to the lower steps.
