Re: Disruptions with Australia Post

It doesnt help when they sent a parcel I bought in Melbourne, for delivery to Melbourne, via Sydney, currenty sitting in the Strathfield sorting centre. I just hope it doesnt sit there as long as it sat in Melbourne. They are as hopeless as ever.

Yeah its very bad atm, Took most of our listings down until they sort themselves out. 10 days no scans some times. Express post to melb from melb is melb - syd - melb. Sick of getting the messages "YOU didn't send it or send on time"

I'd like to hear their excuse for sending Melbourne to Melbourne via Sydney? Maybe they're so short staffed they're throwing whole bags of unsorted mail on the plane to Sydney for them to sort

Re: Disruptions with Australia Post

The main reason is the government forced them to reduce their work force by half, so now they can't handle it. they are already understaffed and are reluctant to hire more & rent more facilities as soon as the pandemic hits they crumble within a few days.

A friend told me sometimes smaller items are sitting in trailers or crates for weeks before they are sorted.

Re: Disruptions with Australia Post

Just noticed I've got something I sold sitting in Chullora at the moment, destined for Melbourne, originated in South Australia—another weird way to go. I'd better go warn my buyer...

Re: Disruptions with Australia Post

I have to say with the exception of FNQ, Darwin and WA, our deliveries going everywhere else have been pretty much on schedule, as of last week...

I wish there was a bridge to Tasmania though !

Re: Disruptions with Australia Post

According to MyPost, most of my items, except those going to WA, are being delivered within a week. Even to Metro Melbourne, where are lot of them are going.

 

Maybe MyPost gets priority, as they shouldn't need to be manually sorted.
