eBay item purchased on 25/4.... dispatched 28/4
Still waiting and all I'm getting is this following tracking via the Australia Post app
I have my own theories but I'd love to hear what you think
I ordered an office chair from Amazon.
With the packaging, its box is about 15-17kg.
It was ‘no signature required’ as instructed by Amazon, but the postie, of course, says they won’t/can’t leave it and took it to the post office anyway.
I can get to the post office but as I don’t have a car, I can’t actually take it home.
I’m basically screwed unless if I pay for an Uber or taxi, aren’t I?
I redirected my parcel to an Aus post locker that's literally 10 minutes from the original delivery address and sunshine is not far from that parcel locker so why did it travel all the way back to the airport that's like 10x further than the Aus post locker?
Edit: no sorry the airport is closer than the locker from sunshine
I confronted the man and he simply put his hand in the air walking off speaking some punjabi or something... this is the first time ive gotten something with auspost, what the actual fuck.. is this normal?
Paid extra for express shipping and it’s been stuck at a warehouse that’s literally 5 minutes away from my house for 5 days now and no update on the tracking it just says delayed.
I had a letter express to an address in Brisbane however the tracking states that it made it to mascot and it’s been sitting there for over 36 hours with no additional updated tracking event events. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know why it would’ve gone to mascot, it still says it’s in transit however nothing’s moved full the last few days considering it’s an express post.
If you're transacting either side, do not use DAI Post. My package has been “out for delivery” for three days. Where is it? They are now saying that my details are missing despite everything being 100% correct. This situation is starting to feel like a joke. It’s probably easier to drive to the depot and pick it up myself at this stage.
I don't know how common this experience is, but my parcels tend to spend days in a warehouse to suddenly at 10am one day "it's coming in 2hrs". I'm pretty flexible normally, but there's no way I can plan around that. If I'm home, I'm home. If I'm not I'm joining the queue at the post office.
In the Netherlands they leave it with your neighbour. In Japan you nominate a day for them to try again. There's obvious risks and costs, but if they fixed tracking and estimation so it wasn't just "somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, literally on the truck to your house" it would be so much better.
If you know you won't be home for something, it would be great for them to give you a window where you can say "chuck it on the van tomorrow".
Anyway. Old man rant over.
Watched a postie go up to my door, not press the doorbell, then get back in his van before I could get the parcel off him.
I was working at my desk, which faces the street, and saw him arrive. He definitely did not ring the doorbell, but attached this photo as “proof” of attempt. Why bother pretending to press it? Surely just ring it? Are the few seconds it would have taken to wait for an answer that important? Wtf Australia post.
I had a bottle of whiskey delivered yesterday while I was at work, it said signature and ID required due to alcohol but when I got home it was sitting in my lobby 🤷
Was 100% excepting a sorry we missed you
I noticed a mystery/unknown package on my Delivery Tracking page in the AP app today.
It just had a 6 or 7 digit tracking number (letters and numbers) but no identifiable name. It said 'Delivered' to a suburb in Sydney (a suburb where I have no address or affiliation). It had a tracking history over the previous 2 or 3 days through several AP locations in Sydney.
I received no notifications about this delivery (no emails or push notifications via the app like I normally would.)
I'm unaware of any issues with any of my credit cards or any other data breaches etc
Is this just some technical glitch? Or should I be concerned?
See pic above - it was a letter from the council. It had been opened in a way that was clearly intentional and re-sealed with basic sticky tape.
No notice about why or who opened it.
Previously this has happened 2-3 times, once with a bank card that I then had to immediately cancel for security concerns.
Is this normal? It happens about once every 6-12 months since moving to my new address.
Had this shipped priority express and hasn’t moved since then, this is the 2nd one in the last month that’s not arrived. Is USPS just generally fkn useless to getting stuff to Aus?
In the auspost app it tells me my package is in Blacktown but when I click on the link it reverts back to the package being at Melbourne?
Is this just a glitch and my package is moving along through the destinations without properly updating or is my package just in Melbourne?
So I sent a letter to China I got tracking on it as it had other thing besides letters anyway it been held since the 6 th of may what do I do I can’t talk to the person I sending to as I was sending a postcrossing letter ,will it get sent back to me what do I do try to find a way for them to try again? Or what
Help
dunno if i’m a goose or not (likely) but i’m selling stuff on Depop and a few people have used a parcel locker address, which is fine, BUT when i go to generate the label in MyPost Business it needs an email address or mobile number, which you can’t ask for in the Depop app or you’ll get hunted down.
is the easiest work around either putting my email address in and hoping whatever code they get goes to their phone number associated with their parcel locker, or to just handwrite the address and pay at the post office?
got no real solid answer with my googling, so thought i’d ask here! 😵💫
It’s been over a week since no update I’ve contacted the seller no response what can I do been a week
