Aus Post shoves it up the residents, The residents come out fighting

I have been living in the new Curlewis Estate and Australia Post have refused to deliver mail to this estate . Their reasoning behind this is "the cant afford it". I feel the need to voice my disgust at the attitude of Australia Post. I am a disabled pensioner with no way of getting to the Drysdale Post Office to collect my mail. I feel that Australia Post are discriminating against me and other people in my position. We have met all of your pathetic criteria to have our mail delivered and the residents are demanding that Australia Post starts delivering our mail to our homes immediately.

So far we have taken the following action;

• A petition has been signed by hundreds of local residents to voice their anger.
• Some residents have already been in the local newspapers
• We have contacted the Communications Ombudsman
• We have contacted the Mayor and Councillors of the City of Greater Geelong
• We have contacted Richard Marles M.P. office for assistance, and he can’t get a response from your organisation
• I have made several complaints to Australia Post to no avail
• I was contacted by Australia Post and was informed they were sending my complaint to the Australia Post investigation department to find out why I was not getting any mail delivery. (I have not heard a thing about this since)

Future action;
• The residents are holding a rally in the local reserve on Sunday 30th June to voice their anger and local media have been invited to attend
• I will be personally contacting 3AW and A Current Affair to have this fight brought out into the public forum

To save Australia Post from any further embarrassment the smart thing to do would be to “DELIVER OUR MAIL” and cease this discriminatory road that Australia Post has opted to take. This is not much to ask.

Rick Troeth Rory, Thank you for responding to my query. The manager at the Ocean Grove delivery centre is well aware of the situation and it has been made quite clear that this area has not been budgeted for so I'm not sure that doing this will get my mail delivered but anything will help.

 I spoke with a so called manager at the Australia Post Call Centre and he quite bluntly stated that no delivery will be made to this area. Life is difficult enough with dissabilities without Australia Post adding to it. Can someone at Australia Post please help. I have also forwarded an email to Brian Crosbie at Australia Post in Melbourne and have been informed that we don't meet Australia Posts criteria for mail delivery. After asking him again how can I get my mail, well, I'm still waiting for a reply to this question. Surely someone in Australia Post can do something, after all your slogan is "WE DELIVER". That is of course you live in a new estate and disabled.


(Good on them)

Fuck the Australia Post National Crawl Center

Awwww Australia Post.... Terrific.  People are so impressed with the service given by so many people in Australia Post.... The universal "Attempted Delivery" card being placed in the mail box, when the driver not only didn't bring the parcel, they never even came and knocked on the door.... Outrageous prices........ Parcels and letters going missing..... Registered mail never arriving, or getting signed for by the contractor and disappearing.... The tracking system that doesn't..... Mail taking 3 weeks to be sent from one suburb to the next......  What could be politely described as the "Go fuck yourself" policies and customer service when things are damaged or stolen.....  Packages "that could not be delivered", that end up in some Post Office,  far away, and the staff there,don't give a shit, can't find it and stuff goes missing and the customers get the run around etc... And REALLY BAD customer service..... The National Call Centre's...

Post Offices + PO Boxes = Pffft.

https://www.facebook.com/australiapost/posts_to_page/ ‎ Deanne Hanchant ‎   to   Australia Post 15 hrs  ·  We have a Post Office box and most of our mail is addressed to it, however, there are some Government departments and overseas deliverers that will not mail to a PO Box and insist on a street address. We do not have a street delivery where we are. The local PO has told us that anything not addressed to our PO Box will no longer be put into our box but will be kept inside behind the counter as per Australia Post advice.  When I rang Australia Post to query this they said it is  NOT the case in an area where there is no street delivery (which is what we were told when we first got a PO Box) and it is the local PO who have made this decision, not Austpost. We took the PO Box in the first place so we could actually get our mail because we couldn't get to the shop when it was open! This new policy will affect a number of customers. Do we all just cancel our...

Australia Post gets a Snake Oil Salesman as it's new CEO.

Image
Vitamin company Blackmores chief executive Christine Holgate will be the new chief executive at Australia Post. First comments: Ms Holgate said she felt privileged to be appointed as CEO of such an iconic Australian corporation and, "one of the most resilient and successful postal businesses anywhere in the world". What she really means that she is either completely out of touch with reality or is a weasel wording corporate bullshit artist. What she said can be rephrased as "Australia Post is dying a lingering death and is an abject failure - that pretty much everyone in Australia it totally fed up with all their bullshit and is using other delivery services - if only to get away from the stolen parcels, late deliveries, being carded and bad service." Qualifies as being able to talk out her arse. [  ] Tick Previous Job. Snake Oil Salesman to the Profoundly Neurotic - "Ease your ailments with our potent magic pills". Sells mostly useless over priced shit of...
