Is Australia Post's downhill service stuffing up our ebay sales?

Let's face it ... Australia Post have gone to the dogs with rising costs, longer delivery times, missing parcels, stolen items and the use of unreliable contractors instead of their own employees. It's like the postal system of a third world country.

Sick of waiting 8 days for something that used to take 2, for items to be delivered/arrive. Have had contractors not even bother to try to deliver items to myself or my buyers, rather just drive past and flag 'unable to gain access' ... I have seen them do it!

Parcels opened and resealed, damaged, missing ... and higher charges for slower service. Anyone else worried about their feedback taking a battering?

Well thats an interesting little experiment. I might try that myself as I am going away on the weekend.

With regards to waiting times on the phone, if you have a business account with Australia Post there is a different number to call and you should get through to somebody much quicker. Waiting longer than 5 minutes is a rarity in my experience.
