You must insure it if of any great value to cover yourself. A signature on Delivery gives you a recourse apparently.
We pride ourselves on quick turn around, normally next day delivery.
but when a customer contacts us and says a week later it hasn't arrived that is not on. Heather tracks every article we send to ensure our customers have the part they require.
I did have one that was a full Clutch kit to Perth, got there in 2 days. Melb top Perth. Customer contacts us 30 days later and asks were it is and had we sent it. We provide every one with a tracking number, the customers says it's been delivered and says he hasn't seen it. I think Why wait 30 days before contact, I would have been on the blower after 6 bus days.
Tracking said it was delivered.
We are then the ones trying to find out what's happened, after checking we find that a certain person at his address picked it up from the post office after being carded.
She took it home and put it in the garage and never told him ( SWMBO )
:o it had been there for a month!!!
And no doubt the insurance costs are going up as part of the Aust Post price rises on Monday... :mad:
New prices - Australia Post
Today i bought 40 .60cents stamps ,I guess i will have to go & buy more stamps to make up the new cost to post a letter when it goese up next week. Poste office could have told me to wait untill after the price rise:mad:
I spoke to my mailman (woman) this morning about the trouble brewing with regard to these indian people and the poor service and growing anger from the public.
She said she was aware of it and it was not just a big city issue as they are now employing pakis in our regional areas and she wondered how long she would be able to keep her contract.
She told me that they were all sworn to secrecy and were not to talk about it !!!
She has been great and provided marvelous service but I fear the worst.
Gee after reading all these horror stories I am a bit concerned now. I seel a fair bit on ebay for my small home business and send everything by Aust Post, usually in the prepaid bags. So far I haven't had a complaint about not receiving a parcel but now I am worried and will keep an eye on things.
With the federal election coming up now would be a good time to have a word with the local member, they will do almost anything for votes.
Just had the old man read through this thread (Training and Development manager at Australia post)
He is as disgusted with some of these stories as the rest of us are. Its very true though, their service and the care taken seems to be getting worse and worse.
You would think with parcel delivery becoming such a large part of what Australia Post does (more so than letters) they would take a little more care.
I dont have an issue though, i have my packages dropped in his office. always on time :D
It gets better. :censored:
Wait for the 457 visa investigations to play out in full and detail where these visas have been used solely for variable resource management and cost reduction even when there were skilled, qualified and available local resources.
Expect to hear of cases where companies who have been firing local workers and backfilling them with short term overseas labour in order to reduce cost.
Wearing a white collar to work does not make you immune to lower cost offshore resources.
