we looked at buying a post office 10 years ago.At that stage telephone banking and bill paying by phone/internet were just starting to move.All bills paid at the P/O ie water/power/ect would pay you between $1.50 to $3.00 commission. Checking over the figures the turnover had been in steady decline for a 5 year period.
Just 2 weeks ago l looked into a P/O again purley for interest sake.
I think that now and 10 years ago you would be buying yourself a job with good hours.
However saying that whenever l go into a P/O there is a line up.
More and more newsagencies are able to take on services that once could only be found at a P/O. I also think woolies & coles are silently creeping into this market as well.
Optus Cable charge me $2-something a month for the privilege of not having to pay by direct debit.Spiderman said:companies like Optus start charging people who pay at post offices a 55 cent fee for the privilege
I’d tend to look for a PO in an area that doesn’t have mail deliveries, they seem to derive a reasonable income this way.pete152 said:Ok thanks for all the coments. I will do some more investigating.
And while we are on the subject, what about a Post Office in a small country town? Would they have the same problems as in larger Cities? Or would it be better as you would not have Coles or Woolies.
Also none or one bank, in town would that help?
Thanks any way for all the coments,
Peter
