Australia - 1992 BOX LINK Labels x100 Postally Used
Just $59.00 the lot -- Scarce items to locate in such fine condition.
Not often seen in quantity, these are usually a few bucks each VFU. Not exactly "stamps" as such but served a postal purpose just the same. This lot has the dedicated purple timeclock date stamps neatly cancelling each one.
Box Link Labels, issued on March 2, 1992, were for use by post office box holders, so had to go from a post office box to a post office box, in inner city Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. The covers had to be posted in special boxes at designated CBD Post Offices only.
The Box Link service labels could only be purchased in boxes of 100 for $38, making the value of a label 38 cents. (For stamp collectors, a post office pack of 2 labels was made available)
The standard letter rate at the time was 45 cents so a 7 cent saving was made using the service.
Standard envelopes required a single label, larger envelopes required two labels.
The system did not catch on and was difficult to administer, therefore the Boxlink service ceased on 6th January 1995.
The 1992 Box Link service was one of the more unusual Australia Post services created. It was designed essentially for business use but anyone who wanted to use the service was able to. It was difficult to administer, and was later decommissioned.
Stamped labels were first issued by Australia Post in 1991, for prepayment of a new parcel service being intially fostered in NSW, and subsequently in Perth, WA.
