Thread: Australia Post

Hi,
As a primary school brat walking to school, I could mimic a posties whistle, much to the annoyance of the old dears who would come out to get the mail; to find nothing there!
Cheers

There is no mail delivery in my road. I use the "post office" in Elong as my mailing address.

When I picked up my mail last week there was a letter addressed to my next door neighbour, but with the wrong postcode - actually the postcode for Elong, not that that is very specific, and there are a number of villages across Western NSW that share it - places whose mail used to be sorted on the train.

The letter had scrawled across it "try Elong". So I took the letter and phoned the recipient, who is going to come over and pick it up some time.

So they do, at least sometimes, try to deliver.

Got a card to collect a package at Aus Post the other day, only later when I opened it I noticed it had "Authority to Leave" printed on it, which is what I thought I'd clicked on the purveyor's website, so another wasted trip.

****ing useless still...

I've been working from home and seen the delivery driver put a card in the letterbox instead of walking the extra 5m to knock on the door !

Looks like the one we had couple of months ago. We ordered some rose plants from supplier near Sydney, went from there to Brisbane then to Murwillumbah to Molendinar (Gold Coast) to Brisbane to Redbank To Brisbane to Redbank to Pinkenba, here they sat for a week after two& half weeks doing tour of east coast. Now AP changed their tracking to a blue line & on names. After contacting AP was told would be 1 to 2 weeks. I then contacted the supplier who contacted AP immediately & I picked them up from my PO Box the next morning. Apparently, it is better if the supplier contacts AP then receiver contacting them, also if package is lost the supplier will receive a full refund for goods where receiver only receives a small set amount. We were lucky Nome of the roses & half have flower buds now. At the same time, we had some medication for my wife (the doctors in Sydney only supply scrips to chemist on Gold Coast for Qld) that was coming from the Gold Coast express post. I was working in front garden when postman came & just put card in the post box as he rode by (not usual postman), no attempt to deliver. PU was from PO in large shopping centre & not the normal AP Agent. I rang complaints & asked it to be sent to agent. The next day an AP guy turned up in a Ute to deliver the package. He told me it was his job to fix up any complaints.

Well that is one job that will be secure for years to come.

Was at my local regional AP office to get some cash out a couple of days ago.

(If I go to the nearest bank I'm waiting in a queue for up to an hour while the teller(s) deal with online banking problems)

The local AP owner is great, was apologetic coz the computer was slow.

Told me that AP still runs DOS (?) which might be slow at times but can't be hacked.

Paid my T/a mobile bill there today with the $2.50 surcharge for a non-electronic transfer as I was doing a direct credit to T/a electronically.

crazy ****, the T/a CEO must have been in the same MBA class at uni as 'the Joy'.
