Auspost at it again

I have found the problem. I got held up by a Post Office truck last night, between Lismore and Casino it barely got to 80kph. :mad:

Could be the original data entry was done manually and contained an error, that's happened to me more than once. Try entering your article's actual number into auspost tracking and see if it comes up.

Ive had 6 of those errors since Christmas, then items showing as waiting for pickup at the PO and not being there yet.
Spent an hour chasing a "Missing" parcel this morning only to find that it was still 35 km away not yet delivered to the PO, I track both Manually and via the MyPost page with the difference being more detail on MyPost but they where still both wrong.

The scary thing is that when they stuff up like this?

They have effectively lost the parcel.

My brother who has a married son in Spain has told us to stop sending Christmas & birthday gifts to the nephews kids , the Spanish postal service is so corrupt it enda up costing them more to get the parcels than the cost of the gifts & they charge them storage charges for every day they dont collect. At least A P dont do that yet, but give them time.

I thought they did. Well, the press was full of the story.

i had a convo with a guy over a few drinks and not sure if the drinks affected his judgement, but he told me AusPost place a bag of mail on a pallet containing 10,000 letters at $1 postage each to Perth. The transport cost for that pallet via truck is about $250.

Someone in the know may confirm or deny this.

Sounds good in theory RB, and the numbers are in the ball park but, AP couldn't organise a plddle up in a brewery. I once accepted a job for AP, 34 pallets from Adelaide to Chullora. I opened up the A trailer, then started to open the B and the forklift driver asked what I was doing. I replied he would fit 12 pallets on the front trailer and 22 on the back. No he said, they're empty, only four pallet spaces needed. I got paid the full B double rate. How often does this sort of debacle occur?
