A Message from the Chairman of LPOG
Submitted by LPOGroup on Tue, 05/05/2020 - 2:34pmDuring these very trying times I believe it’s important to remind Licensees of the need to keep a level head. While it is easy to become overawed by the Covid-19, and the effects it is having on our communities, our communities will be looking to us to show leadership and provide direction.
Stock Delays and Credit Extensions
Submitted by LPOGroup on Mon, 04/05/2020 - 10:01pmLPOG has requested Australia Post address the financial impact of the delay in getting our stock to us during these interesting times. Many of us have stock sitting in the back log, or in some cases, stock ordered early last month has just arrived, leaving a very short timeframe to cash it in, and pay for it on the 24th. In order to address this problem, not of our making, LPOG has requested Australia Post assist with extension to the payment terms. As per the following, that has been agreed to. If you need to take up this extension offer, please see information on the process below.

Local Business Partner Program - Is this for You?
Submitted by LPOGroup on Tue, 07/04/2020 - 4:45pmDuring the February and March LEEP rounds, Licensees were expecting to see the LBP presentation which just may well be the next big thing for many Licensees. Unfortunately Covid-19 interrupted the LEEPs rounds, and then everything else has been interrupted since.
As a consequence LPOG requested that the LBP presentation be made available via video, so Licensees that were not able to attend their LEEPs, could see the presentation and start thinking about how this can assist us to grow our business when we are back to normal.
The LBP program is to upskill Licensees and Australia Post Corporate staff to enhance our customers experience, as such to view the video of the LEEP presentation you will need to log into the LPOG members area on this site.
If you are not a member of LPOG, you can also view the LEEP presentation video on the Australia Post LPO Events facebook page. Many of the past LPO Expos, and LEEP presentations, have been posted previously to this page, so you may already be registered in that group. If you are not a member of that group, just ask to join and provide your WCC and name and you will be accepted. Likewise it is also available on the LPOs United facebook group.
They have a lot more bandwidth than we do.

Germ Screens
Submitted by LPOGroup on Mon, 30/03/2020 - 10:16am
Australia Post has sourced sneeze screens for every retail outlet across Australia and 1,000 will be on their way to outlets starting tonight. First up will be WA, Qld and NT. The next dispatch will be to the rest of the states. Hopefully we should all have them in place soon. The sneeze screens are being provided at no cost to Licensees. They are peel and stick, so will be self installed.
