Amendment of the Post and Telegraph Regulations.
(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 348, as amended to this date.)
(1) by omitting sub-regulations (1) and (2) and inserting the following sub-regulations in their stead:—
(1) The name and address of the person for whom a parcel is intended must be clearly indicated on the outside of the parcel. When a tie-on address label is used, the name and address of the addressee must be indicated on the cover of the parcel as well as on the tie-on label. The name and address of the sender must be indicated on the cover of a parcel addressed to a place beyond the Commonwealth, and also on the cover of a parcel addressed to a place within the Commonwealth if the parcel contains a liquid or semi-liquid, or any other substance which in the event of breakage of the containing vessel or covering might injure other postal articles. In other cases the indication of the name and address of the sender on the cover of the parcel is optional, but the sender is advised to so endorse the parcel in order to facilitate its return to him in the event of non-delivery. The endorsement of the name and address of the sender must be in the following form:—
From.....................................................Address……………………………………..............and must be so placed as to prevent it being confused with the name and address of the addressee of the parcel.
C.5734.—Price 3d.
(2) A parcel must be packed with due regard to the nature of the contents, the length of the journey, conditions of transit, and climatic conditions, and in such a manner as to prevent the contents, in the event of breakage or leakage, causing damage to other mail matter. The wrapper or container must be of sufficient strength to protect the contents of the parcel from damage arising from the handling and pressure which the parcel will receive in the course of transmission through the post.
(2) by omitting sub-regulation (4).
(3) by altering the number of sub-regulation (5) to (4).
(4) by altering the number of sub-regulation (5a) to (5), and deleting therefrom the words “Unless so packed they will not be accepted for transmission by post.”
(5) by omitting sub-regulation (6) and altering the number of sub-regulation.(8) to (6).
(6) by omitting sub-regulation (7) and inserting the following sub-regulation in its stead:—
(7) When it is apparent to the official to whom a parcel is tendered for transmission that the parcel is not packed strictly in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing Regulations, he shall refuse to accept it for transmission until the prescribed conditions are complied with.
(7) by inserting the following sub-regulation:—
(8) If the sender of a parcel desires that the parcel shall be specially protected from damage during transmission through the post, the parcel must be endorsed “fragile” or “perishable” on the outside wrapper, and the higher rate of postage prescribed by regulation 243 must be prepaid. The forwarding of a parcel at such rates of postage does not, however, relieve the sender from complying with the provisions of regulations 220 (1) to 220 (6).
