Australia Post?

It will fit through the slot after the AusPost Contractor has finished with it . . .

I use express post constantly. If it says delivered, it will have been to somewhere.

I have had the odd ECU disappear for an hour and on investigation turn up stashed in a flowerpot by the front door.

A signature isn't required for express post. So if you need that peace of mind it's extra.

I'd be looking to speak to the driver as they don't knock on doors much in my experience.

The two regular posties that do my area are pretty good and the regular parcel post contractor (who are a husband and wife team) have been excellent. However, when the regular parcel post contractor is on leave, then it all goes up the creek. I have had an international shipment that I was waiting on just dumped at the AusPost distribution centre with no card. Luckily it had full tracking details and it showed that they had "carded" it on the wednesday, I went up to the distribution centre on the friday afternoon and they could not find it. I rang the AusPost call centre on the monday who were able to verify that it was at the distribution centre and when I went back up there on monday afternoon, I got the regular lady there who had a clue of what she was doing, she apologised that the casual delivery contractor they had last week was not very good (sounds like he had left a trail of undelivered parcels and chaos behind him).

One of my mates at work lives on a property outside of town and has dramas regularly. One parcel post contractor destroyed both a parcel and his letter box when he tried to shove the parcel through the slot and when it did not fit ripped the lid off the letter box because it was locked. As my mate's property is a good 15 mins out of town, the contractor would have had to drive all the way back to town to drop it off at the post office for collection if he had carded it . . .

I think another thing to consider is many post offices are now franchises.

Our local community mail centre is open for 1 hour in the morning. When you work it makes thing hard to pick up parcels. I used to get parcels delivered to work, but work clamped down because rather than deliver it Australia Post would divert it to the company PO box, meaning the office girl then had to go and get the parcel.

I tried their parcel delivery to a local post office/ general store that is open when I'm coming home. But the old couple running it as a franchise didn't understand parcel deliveries so would send stuff back as unknown recipient. Now I see they are going to offer parcel delivery to a supermarket. What could possibly go wrong?...

Australia Post?

Well most furniture wouldnt go through the slot in the post box would it ROFL.

The concept of a parcel is obviously outside your limited understanding.

The concept of droll humour is well outside your understanding as well.

Lighten up, it was a joke Look up the meaning , seems you need to.

Nice to see you edited your scurrilous language

As of last week, Ikea Canberra store have just started doing online ordering and delivery here in the nation's capital before they start roll it out to the other Australian stores. So you can now get flatpacked furniture that may fit in your post box

I've had the Auspost people deliver my stuff to anyone they feel like on our street. Thankfully most of the time the neighbours bring it back. USually after they have opened it and decided it's not worth keeping mind you. OUr office building the Auspost couriers refuse to deliver any more to so they just deliver cards to the general reception downstairs. I've witnessed one driver just literally throw parcels at a door hard when the company wasn't there and left them crumpled in the hallway. Or they just try and get you to take someone elses stuff.

I wonder if the OP has actually had his parts delivered... So many times threads get started with no conclusion.

Whilst my latest parcel is supposed to be delivered by Aus Post not sure why their track and trace is so abysmal, I ordered and paid online fro a package from China the sender sent through an Aus Post tracking number which showed that it had been sent . The next update showed that "my package was on its way from China Via the Asencion Islands " now last I looked Asencion is between South America and Africa . No where near the route from China to Brisbane , so I checked with EMS China there I was able to track the parcel leaving the supplier and then onto a post office nearby . So for the next ten days it went through 6 different Post offices in China and finally a message that it had been returned to the sender due to incomplete mailing address DOH .Meanwhile Aus Post are still telling me its on its way !! Bloody useless the lot of them .

I regularly get mail for addresses on streets that are parallel to mine, and every so often I'd get mail from 10 - 50 houses up/down my street. I think my local postie is on meth or otherwise completely drugged out.

Question I gotta ask is why do people still use eBay?

I get most my stuff from Aliexpress these days....... far cheaper and far more choice.

[Vexed]

I highly recommend www.interparcel.com.au
Wholesale pricing for TNT and UPS (and other couriers) for domestic and international. Cheaper than Auspost as well, I don't understand how they are still in business with that awful service.
