This reminds me so much of a colleague years ago, who demanded of another staff member, "Why didn't you go directly to the horse?"
What she meant was, give your message to those directly involved.
Not a lot of use whingeing about Aust Post times here, wrong forum.
A few years back, I had a similar complaint to you. I was extremely annoyed because I seemed to be receiving mail about 5 days after people in neighbouring suburbs. (I knew this by arrival times of invitations which were all sent at the same time). And normal letters were often taking 5-6 days even within Melbourne.
Here's what I did. I looked up Aust Post online and clicked their 'Contact us' tab. I wrote about my concerns and they contacted me and asked me to start documenting my mail. They also told me they had contacted my nearest Aust Post hub about my concerns.
If I were you, this is what I would do. From tomorrow, start keeping a few notes. What date a letter or parcel arrived, what date it was posted and where it came from.
Then contact Aust Post direct about it, with your evidence.
Aust Post has undergone some massive changes in the last 3 or 4 years. I know this from a friend whose husband has recently been employed by them. Apparently there were big problems with delivery times a few years ago but it should be a lot better now. It certainly improved a lot after I complained & we have a wonderful postie & quick deliveries now. Then again, I am in suburbia & country people may have slightly longer waits but probably expect that.
But no use complaining to sellers or ebay if your beef is with Aust Post. Go directly to the horse. Even if you don't want to buy from ebay any more, at least aim to get the rest of your mail deliveries on a faster track.
