Sellers from China not offering Click & Collect

[eudyptula14]

Hi, does anyone know if there is somewhere that I can have parcels from overseas delivered to in Easter suburbs of Melbourne ? The only option I can find is to have them delivered to my home address, which I prefer not to.  I used to be able to use my local Parcel Point to send to but they have changed to Returns and Click & Collect only,  which my ebay sellers dont offer.  Australia Post wont accept these other couriers parcels in their Parcel Lockers either. 

Thanks for any pointers or information I'm missing.

You're, by admission, buying from, by definition, sellers of cheap Chinese junk.

Security probably went out the window at time of sale.

If you can't get Chinese sellers to use your preferred delivery methods, maybe look elsewhere.

Or support the Australian economy.

Thank you Aust Post.

I doubt other members will advise you on how to 'work around' getting past rules/policies so that you can continue to support utterly dodgy as sellers with feedback in the gutter

Most of us want to see such sellers booted from eBay

Not keep them in business

It is perfectly reasonable that Australia Post won't accept other courier's parcels in their parcel lockers.

I don't know of any storage alternative to this.

I would say your main option would be to find someone-friend, neighbour, relative- who would be willing to have your parcel sent there and for you to collect it from them at a later date.

Or you could get it sent to your work place.

Just be careful if you are buying from overseas as if something does go wrong and you're not happy with the product, it can be more complicated to try to arrange returns and so on. It's always easier with a purchase from Australia.

Unfortunately I've got no choice.  I'd love to buy in Australia but its not available here, and its not cheap junk. It's of mineral nature made by mother nature. I have the same delivery dilemma with U.K. and U.S. sellers.

Just curious - what does ' mother nature ' provide in China - that she does not provide here.??

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I work on the road with no office. I've had very positive experiences so far thankfully.

Then, if you want them, you will have to use your home address.
