Tom Sorry to hear about your experience but I have to say that I have found Australia Post to be an exceptionally efficient and professional organisation. I guess there is always going to be the odd hiccup but in the last 10 years I have sent out approx 20,000 packages with Australia Post to all corners of the earth and I can honestly count on one hand the number of packages that have been (supposedly) lost in the last ten years.
I have a contract with Australia Post and they pick up my packages from my home each day and process them all very efficiently. Most of the packages I send go to the US and end up being processed through USPS. I know that many like to criticise USPS but they also get the job done with few problems from my perspective. I know that it is very frustrating when things go wrong but your experience would certainly be the exception to the usually great service that is offered by Australia Post.

I have had problems with autrailis... ( damn penile colony Pirates) so I send this woman a Megaphne she doesnt get it,, then the austrialian post says hey!! we have no clue where it is... I think they have Kangaroos and crocs that steal megaphones so they can go to outback and yell for hunters to hijack them and beat them up...?? anyways... so I was emailing ROSE from the Aussie Post,,,, then I geta " DEAR TIM." "TIM"??... and I realize.. Rose was actually ROSS a man.. so I hit it off great with ROss... so then the other day my customer emall Ross and I....... here it is.. she found the package.. meanwhile I sen another to her due to Holidays, Dear Tom and Ross It turns out that the package was delivered to 29 Orchard Rd Beecroft 2119. It was signed for by an elderly lady at that residence who could not read the address on the package. Her son kindly delivered the package to me yesterday. Tom, I am sorry for all the inconvenience and that you have provided a replacement megaphone free of charge. Ross, I am disappointed with the Australia Post delivery system - obviously the delivery person could not read the address clearly labelled on the packaged. As a consequence, I have had to spend a considerable amount in extra postage for the delivery of the same item again as we considered it lost in the mail system. It has also cost Tom money as he kindly offered to send a replacement item. The item was required by a specific time and we could not wait the for the outcome of a lengthy inquiry. If the people who accepted delivery had not kindly delivered it to the correct address, it would have been lost forever due to error on the part of Australia Post. While Beecroft is a neighbouring suburb to Epping in NSW, I really don't understand how the two addresses could get confused - and obviously the person who delivered the package did not check the name of the addressee with the name of the person who signed for it. Is there any way we can claim some compensation for this stuff up? Regards Ross. anaswer ?? No compensation/// so she spent 31.00 then 37.00 as we sent the 2nd by express mail.. and the item was 24.00 .. then I shipped another 24.00 o charge... So today ANOTHER aussie emails and says " where My clapboard" I shipped Dec 4 it didnt leave USA till 15 from New Jersey... and that allows 10 days to get there,,,,,,,, till Christmas.. well I said I have no idea wahat to do as it appears aussie Post is overwhelmed.. Then I get a call from Detroit.. this woman With Ford says that WALMart had all the couriers bbought in advance and reserved all the mail systems..... and Ups and others,,,, I have no clue if that true But wouldnt surprise me .......... so they put all the other packages at the rear,,,, Odd but I figure Ford would have a better inside then me..... whata wonderful Life???? meanwhile My Home loan people have not sent me any paperwork on a modification... Modify is right... they want to wait until Christmas eve to give me the Full effect of shock value, and inform me I can not afford my House... Lovely... so...... with that I say......The global warming is happening because everyones getting pissed OFF includeing me....
