Aust Post deliveries have been a bit awry lately.

I watched parcels being delivered to my letterbox.  Only one parcel had tracking and when I looked it up it said delivered.  Due to a bad arthritic day I wasn't able to collect them.

The next day another parcel was delivered - this time to my back door.  I tried calling out to the AP driver but as usual he got into his van and took off like greased lightning. Fortunately my neighbour was home and heard me and I explained there were parcels in the letterbox.  He got them for me - two untracked parcels.

I had a look at the newly delivered one.  It seems the AP driver marked my tracked parcel as delivered the day before....and left it in his van so I only got the untracked ones. LOL  Next day's delivery was of course the tracked parcel he supposedly delivered the day before.

That's just the latest example I can quote about AP parcel deliveres.  There have been others over the last 12 months that were not exactly what I expected to happen.  I suppose I can be grateful all but one (from overseas) eventually turned up.....and I mean very eventually.....despite what AP's tracking might have indicated.  Any AP message that says 'Your parcel is on its way' or 'It's coming today' or some other optimistic message can be taken with a grain of salt ATM.
