I can't remember how I got signed up with "Health Pride" - Hmm that's right I think, they sent me some unaddressed mail, care of Australia Post and it's junk mail for profit campaign. And in order to get me on their lists, they pulled this con-artist, scratch all the boxes and you have won bullshit, scam, and in the very, very, very fine print, at the bottom inside corner of page 16 - was the tiny detail that you only win the money you have won, if the scratchy card thing's code, matches this one. Well I sent that in and then found out about the conjob fine print game playing ... Then there was a complaint raised about the really fucking sleazy game playing aspect of it. I also told them to take me off their mailing list, they got the official finger waggled at them and they were told to take me off their mailing list.... They did. For 3 months they did, and then they started to do more direct mailing - addressed directly to me, every month or two, ever since....

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/07/25/post-j25.html Australia Post report points to massive cuts to jobs and services By Keith Morgan 25 July 2014 A federal government-commissioned consultants’ report on Australia Post has endorsed the management’s plans for drastic cuts in mail services that will eliminate at least another 10,000 jobs and pave the way for full privatisation. Last month’s “Background Report” by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals advanced plans to wind back postal deliveries from five days a week to three, outsource more Australia Post jobs and cut wages—all in order to make the business a more attractive proposition for corporate raiders. Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull commissioned the report in March, while on a “fact finding” mission to the US, with Australia Post CEO Ahmed Fahour. The underlying purpose of the BCG report is to rubberstamp the drive by the Abbott government to prepare for privatisation, as ...

Nothing like an executive salary to add zest to ones life.  "Ahhh fuck the customers, I'm busy." Had to buy an item and the only way to get it delivered was by "gag" - Australia Post. http://auspost.com.au/business-solutions/express-eparcel.html " If no one is available when we deliver, we can leave your consignment in a safe place or leave a calling card, so the recipient can collect the package when it suits them"   The Delivery Instructions: "Send by plain postage only. NO signature on delivery. No carding." "If no one is present to accept the delivery - leave near the front door or in the letter box". What did the supplier do? -  They sent it by Australia Post's eParcel, instead of plain postage, with THOSE instructions printed on the label. What did the local agent do? They totally ignored the instructions, and applied a Sticker - Refused [X} and Return to Sender . What did the supplier do then when it got back? They said...

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/man-laundered-500000-in-casino-police-20100113-m6bp.html January 13, 2010 A Chinese national accused of laundering $500,000 headed straight to a casino after withdrawing the cash, police say. Zheng Tan, from Wollstonecraft in Sydney's north, spent his 30th birthday in jail on Tuesday after being charged with eight counts of laundering more than $500,000 last month. Police allege that after withdrawing the money in Sydney he flew to Melbourne and mixed it with another $500,000 during a night at the Crown Casino, in an attempt to obscure the origin of the funds. Tan appeared in Sydney's Central Local Court on Wednesday and applied for bail, but it was refused by Magistrate Jane Culver. In papers tendered to the court, police say that in December Tan deposited a stolen cheque into an ANZ bank account that he had set up in June in the name of TZ International Trading Pty Ltd. The bank chequ...

More nastyness, deceit and underhandedness from the Australia Post managers, towards the Licensed Post Office Operators..... http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/post-office-fraudster-tim-alexander-greenland-escapes-jail/story-e6freuy9-1226308380370 News Post office fraudster Tim Alexander Greenland escapes jail Peter Bodkin The Daily Telegraph March 23, 2012 3:43PM Fraudster Tim Alexander Greenland arrives at the Darlinghurst court complex with a female friend today.

http://www.sosmail.com.au/news.asp?id=35 WORRIED grey nomads are turning to mail forwarding services in increasing numbers to overcome a rise in identity theft. The boss of a family-owned company which operates a mail collection and forwarding service said crooks often targeted letters meant for people who were away from home. "Mail forwarding services are becoming more and more popular these days with the increase in cases of identity theft through stolen mail," SOS Mail Solutions director Tara Burton told Caravanning News. She said travellers were often reluctant to trouble family and friends to collect and forward their mail. Ms Burton's family business was established six years ago and is able to collect mail from a secure Post Office box facility, let clients know via a secure website what they had received and if necessary scan the mail so they could view and act on it if necessary. The company could then package up mail and send forward it either, weekly, fortnight...

This is quite comical really....  The process and procedure. I think it's more bullshit being spun by the Australia Post social media customer care team - who are nothing but professional bullshit artists... And they got ONE - yes ONE response.  http://www.ebay.com.au/gds/What-to-do-if-Australia-Post-loses-my-item-/10000000001162511/g.html What to do if Australia Post loses my item? It is a question we all dread. A lost item can greatly put a downer on our EBay and online trading experience. BUT do not fret; there is action that can be taken. Firstly, whether you’re a buyer or a seller, it is important to never have the "I can't do anything about it" attitude. As a buyer, when your item isn't received within a reasonable time frame, it's important to contact the seller querying about your item. As a seller, when a buyer contacts you it then falls on your shoulders to take next course of action. Just stating, "sorry but this is not my fault" co...

Australia Post Customer Service "God blessings dear frend.  I is so sory yor shit is stolen and not turn up. Just sendin de money of $100 dollas per parsel and i will be snedin it any weres in australa and puttin de monie secured modalities in de bank volt." Seriously - I had cause to revisit some old internet stomping grounds to one of my most favourite "scamming the scammers" websites, who reversed the scam back onto the scammers - who were pulling the 419 Advance Fee Frauds etc., and I thought: "Change a few words, terms, issues - and your've been scammed, ripped off, your shit has been sent to the moon etc., and your after some customer service, and all they do is fuck you around and this reads just like dealing with Australia Post." This is priceless. It's a historical kind of a piece of the internet history. LOL If you don't read it, you will be deaded 101 times. http://www.thescambaiter.com/forum/index.php?/topic/17878-anus-laptops-the...
