I don't know who posted this but if it was Australia Post they are not in Australia. In Australia in 2017 Christmas Day is Monday 25th December and this post still doesn't answer the question.... will they be delivering within Australia on Saturday 23rd December? Hmmm...?

This is an old thread from 2016.....the new schedule for 2017 has been posted half way down the thread.

And yes, there will be deliveries on Saturday 23rd and if you are very lucky you may get a delivery on Sunday 24th as well.

Gee, sooooooo glad the mods took notice of both of us, Lyndal.

We both asked for this thread to be removed in it's entirety because of incorrect info

Ah but Stalks surely you realise that removing or blocking threads is a really really hard thing to do, much harder than sitting at a computer desk and staring benevolently at the screen.....................

                                                     

[lyndal1838]

Surely you mean "malevolently" Padi?

[imastawka]

Well, I gotta be honest, Padi.   I wouldn't be working too hard @ $12 hour either

Spoiler

  (I should have applied for the job - it's $12 more than I get paid right now)

I lived in the UK until 2003 when I came to Australia.  Every Christmas is the same, postmen don't deliver on Christmas Eve, probably the busiest day in the UK, but here they don't deliver Saturdays, which means this Christmas we have NO DELIVERIES FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.  What a joke, yet the garbage gets collected on Christmas Day.  Wake Up Australia Post!!!

Garbage doesn't get collected on Christmas day where I live. I had to put the bins out today.

Nearly everybody else (not me) gets Christmas day off work, why shouldn't garbos and posties. And I'm pretty sure, depending on when the AP holiday is, posties will deliver on Christmas Eve next year.

[lyndal1838]

I live in suburban Sydney and we don't have a garbage collection on Christmas Day....never have.

As for weekend mail deliveries.....for many years we have had Saturday deliveries in December.  This year thy are going one better and doing deliveries on both Saturday and Sunday.
