'bearer'.

In the last 6 months, given there have been no further updates, aaronteshia has probably either resolved the problem or given up.

OP's problem may have gone away but AusPost tracking of inbound international packages is still 'flakey'.  I've had 3 packages from US; 2 from Germany and 1 from UK arrived in Dec and Jan (plus 1 from US enroute).  Tracking for the delivered packages was only updated by Auspost after delivery to my unit (all were trackable and all showed as tracking not available right up until delivery was completed).  

AusPost were obviously doing some tracking as USPS managed to show tracking updates as their parcels moved through the AusPost network so I knew they had a arrived and been released from customs and then when they were at the local centre for delivery on the van.  Couldn't do that with the packages from UK or Germany though.  

Delivery on Monday was showing on USPS that it was out for delivery and on AusPost as still being in LA awaiting international shipping about an hour before it arrived at my front door.  I would have thought if AusPost have tracked a package and managed to provide the information back to USPS they would be able to update their own website but apparantly not.

I've only been having this problem with AusPost for about the last 4 months or so but it does rather make a mockery of the whole tracking concept.

That's a very helpful and astute comment 31 months after this thread was relevant.

If you think AP is bad, maybe you should insist on a courier. Aramex or Sendle come to mind.

Aus. Post are actually pretty good, both in terms of price and reliability. You should try using the postal services in some other countries—there are some shockers.
