Just seams strange that every time I have something getting close to delivery date I start getting the scammers a couple of days before it arrives & stop once they arrive ,a coincident , I think not.Quote:

Will be asking the sender to start enquires about where it is. Now in 20 years had not had a parcel lost some are returned to Australia and make a second trip but they make it
This though all depends on the organization they use though. A nameless big name international courier company delivered a parcel to the right number wrong house. (All street names here are the same just end in street, avenue etc. Not sure if this was lazy or a Friday afternoon back from the pub joke.) they retrieved the parcel but it then goes into a different tracking system and could not be found. Said no worries would let the sender know it would be coming back.
Not so fast seems that as a private delivery company they do not have to return undelivered parcels even if a return address is clearly marked on the parcel. This would cost too much and they would send the parcel to auction. I needed to ask the sender to claim on the insurance

A few years ago now I ordered from a then reputable crowd two cartons of Wine 1x red & 1xbubbly.
Got the bubbly ok as normal, but the red found it's way to Darwin by Rail where it appeared it had a right old time, traveling hither & thither, except to Mr Bee's.
I gave up the hunt after a while in sheer desperation when the Carrier offered to reimburse me for the cost of the goods.
The previous order had been a lovely drop so I hope the thieving bastards enjoyed it.
Eeerr ,no I don't. I hope they had a dose of the ****s.
yes.... this the thread to praise Australia Post for it's excellent work....
Well............ I got a normal parcel post from Inglewood to my PO box in Queenscliff in a day and a half, and some parts from Roverlord, express post, overnight this week.
Heather / Mario even texted me to say they were at my PO, thanks! [bigrolf]

Our mail man came in the morning on Friday & I cleared the post box a lunch time , then when we were going out around 3pm he stopped me as I was backing out the driveway to give me some more mail, he has only been coming Tuesday & Thursday lately , so it's been four times this week . It's a miracle[biggrin]
Received this Email this morning Attachment 174603 suppose to be from AP , has not even got AP symbol on it , am guessing it is a scam even though my wife has been waiting 2 months for some clothes our daughter ordered for her online ( we don't have a tracking number)but is supposed to be coming with Star Track . Just seams strange that every time we have a delivery coming we get a delivery scam message. [bighmmm]
*I JUST LOOKED UP AUST POST SCAMS & YEP IT IS SECOMD ON THERE LIST & SAME TRACKING NUMBER ALSO *
No guessing it's a scam................ look at the sender address.Quote:

cheers, DL
Yep, I got a message overnight stating that my Amazon delivery was on its way. A good thing I don't have an Amazon account.
To make a clean breast of it, I don't even have an Amazon![smilebigeye]
I got the same text…….I’m being bombarded with with textsQuote:
