Apparently they have wire baskets 105cm square & if it dont fit in wire basket it dont go !!.
It make life difficult as a Club Armourer trying to post/receive firearms.
Nowadays the dealer posting a firearm in excess of 105cm ( & what one isnt?) generally has to remove the stock from barrel & wrap them up together.
Otherwise they will go by road but TNT & most major transport companies refuse to carry firearms as they say it is necessary for driver to stay with truck 24/7 for security purposes!!
I have had dealers send firearms by road with those companies but items are listed as "sporting equipment"& not as firearms!!!
Only company I know who will carry firearm is Startrack Express & this deal was only recently put in place..
Obviously said cleaning rod was in excess of 105cm & suffered the consequences. My sympathys.

It was 39 inches, which is under.
I took it to Australia Post Shop today, and they have covered the cost and postage for a new one.

Its real handy having car parts delivered to a po box a couple of suburbs away when you need them to be delivered to the workshop. Whats the purpose of putting an address on it?

That sounds like a good result at least. Last time I tried to make a claim with OzPost they wanted it returned to the sender first, they weren't interested in the receiver's story, despite the receiver being the one with the damaged item.

Sounds like this is problem caused by the sender putting two addresses on the package, or the buyer giving the sender two addresses instead of just the address they want it sent to?

We pack everything with the assumption it is going to be dropped down a flight of stairs and cop a good kick at the bottom...
I received a glass codd bottle (the ones with a marble in them) from England a few weeks ago, it was wrapped in one turn of bubblewrap and thin card and taped with cloth tape, parcel was squashed into the shape of the bottle and mangled but not even a mark on the bottle inside! Buggered if I know how it made it.

Rose worked for OzPost 20+ years ago. She said there might be something in your PO box contract that defaults _all_ your deliveries to your PO box instead of to your delivery address? When the system scans your delivery address from a package, it links it to your Box address. That might explain why only OzPost deliveries get redirected. It should be possible to de-link your PO Box address from your business address though.
