Australia Post, I hate you!

[DougalStrachan]

Why would you provide updates...... <sigh> FFS it's only Ballarat to Bendigo - I'm sweating on this part and really need it (Bit needed for bike rack that broke) or else I need to figure another way of getting 5 bikes to the race tonight

QLD to NSW.
Scanned Monday, Express post, arrives Wed
Scanned Monday, Parcel post, arrives Thurs (almost same as Express!!)
Sent late Wed afternoon, Team Global, arrives early Thurs morning!!!

NSW to NSW, sent Monday, arrives Thursday...

maybe all the Elves they hire for the Xmas rush are getting practice before inundation??? (so faster than normal, and about to get real slow?)

Aramex...

I'd like to know when it's rescheduled for...

No replies from Aramex or Wiggle customer service either.

I think this belongs here. Not my package but my wifes, we recently moved and paid for redirection... seems like that means packages get to go on a full tour.

 

[teK--]

lol did they go back to the incorrectly delivered address, retrieve and then resend it?

Yeah twice, this was the second package!

Even the customer service people on the phone said it was embarrassing how bad this was.

The packages showed up with handwritten redirect addresses and nothing covering the machine readable barcodes so my guess is the automated sorting kept trying to send it back.

Some of your mail will most likely go there too.

Oh yeah we explained the concept of mail redirection to them and they recognised that this isnt how its supposed to work.... then they shrugged and said "what can we do".

They did give us an extra month of redirection for free which made me laugh. I then explained to the nice but simple person that it was worthless if they didnt actually redirect the mail.

Fortunately I have purposely stopped getting paper mail years ago so my stuff isnt much of a problem. This was just a mistake during a late night shopping order. Also the neighbours are looking out for us since AusPost is so incompetent.

with 20/20 hindsight, next time, spending the petrol on a drive to ballarat and back (or whereever ) might be a good investment, if something's time critical. the post seems like a roll of the dice these days.

To balance the Force, I received a parcel today that left Melbourne on the 3rd May. And has so many depot stickers on it that it's embarrassing. It's a wonder anyone could Cope. Australia Post was not involved.

I had a package delivered by a fellow burner the other day to work. There were a few issues...

Package with no real name, towels and string sticking out of a dodgy taped package that's falling apart, metal canister thingy inside.

Someone eventually put things half together to twig it might be mine and called me to check. "Oh, that's good we can call off the bomb squad then."

What I'm hearing is that your workmates thought there may be a bomb so asked you to open it
