Just goes to show that Australia Post is kind of messed up hey?

[POOMBAH]

So that's why Santa gave me a pair of socks instead of a set of spankin' new rims! Damn you Australia post!

ive used aus post and never had a prob

Dead right. TOTALLY USELESS.

Sent an Power Fc to a Perth address via registered mail, insurance, the whole bit. Never heard back.

Did my own tracking and found it had been delivered, hopefully to the correct address. So I got cranky and asked what guarantee did I get for the big bucks.

--NOTHING--

Disgusted at their response offering me back, the cost of a stamp to notify that the item had been delivered.

ALSO just sent an A4 envelope to GTSt25 in Italy- cost $38.

Guaranteed anywhere in the world in 4 days max. Took 3 weeks.

I'll use couriers from now on.

thats f*kd up but i've never had a problem with them....

at work we only trust post for things less than 100$ value.. because several expensive packages have gone walkies. It is unwise even to use registered mail for very expensive items.

I've used australia post for probably close to 100 items, never had a problem.

A lot of people label stuff incorrect, have shithouse handwriting, don't provide a return address, package poorly, etc, etc. Wouldn't surprise me its people's own fault half the time.

Oh yeah I hate them too

Got a part for my KTM sent over from Melbourne after searching everywhere for one. Its the only spare in the country. The shop did the right thing, registered it and all. EXPRESS, so it should have bee here in 2 days max.

3 weeks later I rang up the shop got the reg number. Australia post were less then helpful, said they'd never heard of that number and to take it up with the shop.

Basically the shop got shitty, got compensation from Australia post and thus re paid me.

Not happy, I now have to order the part from KTM which is a 2.5 month wait from Austria
