Aus Post does it again

Seller posted parcel in Adelaide on the 11th Feb..Received in SA country ( 2 hours from Adelaide) on the 20th Feb ! It would have been quicker for me to go to Adelaide and pick it up and return ( 4 hour round trip) Anyone else top that ?...

I had one that had to go 20 mins up the road, from Murwillumbah to Casuarina. It took 7 days and a lost parcel claim with AP before it found its way there. http://auspost.com.au/track/63310568775067

Parcel posted to next suburb, 15-20 minutes walking distance. AusPost took it to Central coast first, and then back here, took them 7 or 8 days!

500g Express satchel from metro Sydney to metro Melbourne...

8 days! (did include one weekend so we can't be too tough on the hard working little snails who eventually got it there).

I posted an item from SA to NSW on the 19th of December, 2012. 

It was received by the buyer at the beginning of March, 2013.

Wow Digi..That's the best one yet ...Did you have an "item not received " started against you ?

No, though the buyer did contact me to let me know the item hadn't arrived, so I sent out a replacement which was received in a few days. The original package was an unregistered letter, so I had no way of tracking it etc, but they contacted me again in March to let me know it had been delivered and offered to pay for it ($20 item), which was nice 🙂 but I just said to keep it. 

I had one recently where I sent two separate letters to the same address on the same day, and they arrived a week apart. I had packaged up and was about to send a replacement for the missing one when the buyer contacted me to let me know the second one had finally arrived.

Digi....What a lovley customer she was.

I have heard of letters posted during WW2 to diggers or from diggers not arriving until years later but anyway that's another topic for another time.. We are in the here and now for the time being...

Anyone else have a story to tell ?

I have a similar one to d*g - 2 identical items posted on the same day by the same method and arriving about a week apart.
