More than 130 post offices in Victoria are extending retail hours this Christmas.
The Cobram post office is now open Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm, and Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm for four weeks.
Australia Post post office network general manager David McNamara said extended trading hours gave customers more convenience ahead of pre-Christmas sales events.
“With more households shopping online than ever before, we expect this Christmas season to be record-breaking,” he said.
“Many of our post offices have extended their opening times to provide our customers greater flexibility with their sending and receiving in the lead up to the big day.
“Our exciting new range of products available in-store also helps people to spread the merry this Christmas with some fantastic gift ideas.”
Mr McNamara said customers were encouraged to send their presents as early as they could, so their letters and parcels have the best chance of arriving in time for Christmas.
“For delivery within Australia, presents are recommended to be sent no later than Saturday, December 12, for Parcel Post, and Saturday, December 19, for Express Post.
