I wonder if ebay is notifying buyers in Victoria about these big delays ??

[davewil1964]

Australia Post, the normal carrier, certainly is.

It comes down to responsibility. eBay claim to not be responsible for anything, except collecting fees and not being liable for SNAFUs, so I would expect buyers to at least have a working knowledge of the impacts COVID-19 has on their purchases.

How can multi billion dollar companies be so damned sloppy ?

Strange we use eparcel too but all our deliveries are going via SA or NSW. maybe if its pre sorted before going to VIC by local council area?

i'm in WA and send all items Express Post - as of today - parcels going to Victoria or from Victoria -> WA Express are taking up to a week or longer for delivery. also seeing lack of scans, with none usually apart from the lodgement scan, then one in the destination city.

Has anyone noticed is general that auspost in vic are so good with tracking vs other states?? I have send many packages over the years and have found vic super good with logging movements vs other states were the package basically goes untracked qld are the worst I have found you get a lodgement at lpo and then nothing till it hits vic in my state. There can at times be days with out any record of movements.
