Had it happen to me a few times, usually a phone call telling them their fortune seems to fix the issue
"Oh sorry sir, it must have been mistakenly put into the wrong sorting pile"...nothing short of incompetence.
I'm just glad this didn't happen when I got my shotgun sent over from vic.

Yes i know of one bloke that sent a package from nsw to qld and it went via vic wa nt and then finaly qld

Then last momth i bought 1000 9mm cases from melb and im only 330km up the road and tracked to morwell sorting facility 1 day later and there it sat for 2 bloody weeks then In transit to east gipsland facility and another day i receved it .

Yep I’ve watched my package tour Australia before. And it departed not that far from me. It was free delivery so why bother picking it up right.
To be honest it had a great trip, wonderful itinerary, wish I had of gone with it. I was so jealous

[northdude]

Sounds like a cheap tour to me. If only they did it with people

[straightshooter]

Count yourself lucky that it arrives.
The real fun starts when it doesn't.
On making multiple enquiries, subsequent Australia Post replies contradicted previous responses only to eventually be told that only the sender can make a claim.

I have had two items from Canada sit in customs in sydney since 7 of April. Meanwhile I have received a item from the US and ordered a item from china last week that is now in Aus but waiting clearance.

The benefits of privatisation.

"It will give us better service and competition will drive down prices"

Just like the phones
Just like the electrickery
Just like the public service

Now Vicroads as well

Look forward to the day we get pulled up and asked for our license, only to find it's not in the system cos some numpty in another country who's supposed to be doing data entry had a day off

Outsourcing is such a success, isn't it?

When I moved over to this side of the property, the house had been vacant for a while, I rang to get the power on, got someone who was god knows where, I gave her my address and she replied "No"
I asked what she meant.
"No house there"
I'm standing in it
"No, sorry, computer say no house there"
Things went downhill from there.

When was the last time you rang a business and got a call centre worker you could actually understand.
Not the worker's fault, they're doing better than me, I can only speak one language, but sometimes their accent is impenetrable.

Apparently they have Fridays off.
