Aust Post a joke

[audistarelectronics]

Purchased a brand name phone from China  from a reputable seller, who done the right thing and had it sent out in an instant. Left China on Tues last week and was at Sydney customs and cleared on Thurs. The carrier was DHL, which I paid $26 to use. That was all excellent service in anyones opinion. Then on the same day, Thurs, the phone was handed over to Aust post for delivery to me.

I do aknowledge that I do live in a country area of NSW, but I am peed that I can't expect the phone until Wed this week, almost a week from Sydney Aust to a NSW country town. What a joke, two days from China, then a week once it landed here.

 Yes, Aust post, I can see where you are losing money, get rid of the carrier pidgeons and get some upto date transport happening.

I have had mail take a week to get from Hamilton to Coleraine, 32 kilometres. Yet my sister has in the past sent a parcel on Friday from Adelaide and it arrived three days later on Monday in Coleraine

What do you expect ?????

Everyone avoids Coleraine

As said above, some places are in dead spots.

So where the hell is Coleraine anyway?

Coming from where you live.............. or the Valey .................

it's a lovely place, have two friends who live there which is why I am hanging it on Coleraine.

Really? I had no idea you knew the town's entire population.

Thanks wilk. Even though I'm originally from Victoria, I'd never heard of Coleraine so I looked it up on the map. Can't be too bad 'cos at least it's on the way to somewhere (between Hamilton & Mt Gambier). 🙂

"Really? I had no idea you knew the town's entire population. "

That's about right.

When I passed through the "township" on my way to my mates place, I was past it before I knew it !!!

It really is a "blink and you will miss it" type place.

BTW, the 2 people I know are relatives - it MIGHT be a bit like Tasmania (but without the two heads !)

You'd know all about that wouldn't you ??????

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.
