AusPost- How to post for cheaper!

Hello fellow toymodders!
Don't know if ya'll already know this, but recently I discovered that if you post something that is not rectangular, postage is cheaper!!
This is due to them not being able to 'cube' it..
Don't know if this works for everything, I know it worked in the case of sending a radiator and a supercharger.
So stop using rectangular boxes, and put that money aside for more overnight parts from Japaan

No!!! Don't put it in a cube, make it odd shaped! Triangular, circular, bits sticking out, just NOT rectangular.

That way they just charge by weight.

I went and posted some boxes of stuff yesterday, and the Post guy said the same thing. He said he had a guy come in with shark's teeth to send in a giant box, but he sent him home and told him just to make it an irregular size, just padding around the shape of the teeth, and because the teeth were so light, it got postage from about $30 down to about $8 he said! So even the folks working in the post office recommend it!
Cheers,
Tim
