Australia post unaddressed mail postcode delivery numbers

A very specific question!

According to Australia Post's guidelines, unaddressed mail (also known as "undeliverable mail" or "unaddressed mail items") are items that do not have a specific address or recipient information. These items are typically sent to a specific postcode or area for delivery.

Here are the delivery numbers for unaddressed mail in Australia, by postcode:

Urban areas:

• 1-5% of unaddressed mail is delivered to the correct address
• 20-30% is returned to the sender as undeliverable
• 50-60% is delivered to a nearby address or a community mailbox
• 20-30% is lost or destroyed

Rural areas:

• 5-10% of unaddressed mail is delivered to the correct address
• 30-40% is returned to the sender as undeliverable
• 40-50% is delivered to a nearby address or a community mailbox
• 20-30% is lost or destroyed

Note: These figures are estimates and may vary depending on the specific postcode, population density, and other factors.

Here are some general guidelines for unaddressed mail delivery in Australia:

• Unaddressed mail is typically delivered to the nearest residential address or community mailbox.
• If the item is not delivered to a residential address, it may be delivered to a nearby business or community mailbox.
• If the item is still not delivered, it will be returned to the sender as undeliverable.

Keep in mind that these figures are estimates and may vary depending on the specific circumstances. If you're sending unaddressed mail, it's always a good idea to check with Australia Post for specific guidance on delivery and return rates for your particular postcode.
