AUSTRALIA Post is upgrading its parcel delivery service to cope with a surge of internet purchases, opening 24-hour parcel collection and flat-rate delivery for domestic shipping.

The postal carrier will trial extended hours for parcel pick-up at 100 post offices across the country from next year, while electronic parcel lockers also would be trialled to allow customers to collect deliveries at any time of the day or night.

"E-commerce is now the new core of our business," Australia Post chief executive Ahmed Fahour said.

Isn't it great that we have the CEO of Australia Post to sell TZ lockers to the Australian public? Priceless PR. The demo of the TZ smart lockers looked damn good on channel 7 news last night too.
