Thread: Australia Post Cheap Contractors BAD MOVE! RANT

Seems like the hopeless delivery system is getting through to Australia Post:

Residents from a Melbourne suburb have stood up to an Australia Post parcel delivery driver who threw their packages or left them lying in the rain. The postal corporation has finally disciplined the driver, after a slew of complaints from locals in Upwey who were fed up with their mistreated mail, the Herald Sun reports.

Residents also reported incidents where parcels were tossed over fences or dumped at the end of a driveway, without being signed off. “People have put in so many complaints and nothing has been done,” one unnamed local told the newspaper.

An Australia Post spokeswoman said one driver was responsible for the complaints and that he had been disciplined.

"After being made aware of this behaviour, Australia Post has directly spoken to the delivery driver involved and reminded them of our customer service commitment and delivery standards," she said.

She added that 20 million items we delivered every day and "the vast majority of items arrive safely and on time".

"Our staff take great pride in the timely, safe and efficient delivery of mail and parcels," she said.

We must be lucky as our Aust Post mailman and the parcel contractor are quite good, postie has been doing this route a few years now, but when he goes on holidays our mail could end up anywhere,even though there is the house No by the post box in 4 inch high black numbers on a white background so the Ambos,Energex, and the Plods can find their way along (semi-rural) so no street lighting

Our daughter ordered a book for out grandson for christmas & had it delivered to our place registered mail. We came home & found it foldered in half & pushed in the letter box which the complete front opens to take parcels 250 X 150 X 350 deep. It was a major opporation to get it out , the book was ruined & when I complained to the TOOTHLESS TIGERS ( Aust Post ) was told we had signed for it.

Upwey, we were getting them from the Belgrave which is our delivery centre,we mail via Upwey. all I can say now is the postie brings items to my door, politely knocks anjd waits for us to answer. And will leave mail for us so no carding.
Things are looking very positive

As a postie we can leave your registered eparcels if you state in the comment section otherwise any other item we have to card if you aren't present. But in saying that as of last we eparcels have stopped being sent to us, 6-4 everyday and now there asking us to work 6-7 :/ for 2 weeks
