Some of their tracking is delayed, but even if it isn't THIS delayed, maybe it wasn't scanned at the next stop and is actually in transit.

The person who gave you the advice may have got it wrong. Maybe they only work on the counter and have no idea what happens out the back. AP staff would be no different to forum dwellers - some give wrong advice on subjects they know nothing about and then insist they're right.

That PO may well keep local mail aside and not send it to the sorting centre at all. Sending everything to the sorting centre would be like my local PO sending mail for local delivery on a 2-hour trip to Geelong to be sorted, only to have it come back the next day - which definitely doesn't happen. They told me a few years ago that any mail for the next towns south or west get kept in a different bag to be put on the morning truck, but everything else heads to Geelong on the night truck. Parts of that may have changed last year because the morning and night trucks now come from the same direction, but the fact is that they do sort a lot of mail before it gets to the main sorting centre. I do acknowledge the fact that their 'improvements' mean they're less efficient than they used to be. Perhaps that's why they wanted a price rise - so they could afford to be less efficient.

Fibger crossed it ends up on the right van. Fnny thing is wi checked my mail box today I had an Aus Post ad for Mothers day

don't ya just hate all those 'forum dwellers' who are not perfect? should be banned or at least restricted in trying to help with whatever good intentions hey.

I have a problem with the ones who have never bothered to read the rules but are happy to argue with those who have, and they don't care how much money or angst or time they cost those who heed their incorrect advice! Other than this, it wouldn't bother me at all.

I assume you're okay with people who give you wrong advice and then cost you a small fortune.

i must be blessed as ive never been given intensionally wrong advice thats cost me a small fortune. all advice i think has been what the poster thought was helpful.

what i objected to was in your reply you need to cast doubt on ever other posters advice as if only you can be trusted to know the answer.

can you at least point out the obviously bad advice in this thread as ive missed it. i'll admit i'm not very bright.

The way I read it was it was not aimed at the thread as such but aimed at the forum in general. There has not really been any advice in the thread it is a rant about auspost thread
