Fahour got his bogus bonus, the swindling executive took 20 million, Australia Post is turning to shit.


And these fabulous fucks still have their jobs.

Why?

5 out of the last 10 posts on this site, the people have written Australia Post off - "Moving to couriers".

When I started this blog off, it was maybe 1 in 1000 complaints, where people said, "Australia Post - Not using them any more."

Now it's 50% of the complaints are saying, "Over all the bullshit - Moving to couriers."

Australia Post makes $40 million profit, and $20 million of that goes in the form of bonuses, to Fahour and his team of fucking executive imbeciles.


We will let the customers, or now 50% ex customers frame the issue.

Blairis78 asked on Oct 13, 2016

I am totally confused by this answer provided by Australia Post, attempting to locate letter LX300448106ES which has not moved from Sydney for 9 days now, I guess I am basically just going to have to accept its lost or STOLEN.. "This was handed over to us for delivery on the 4th October, but there don't seem to be any updates since then. Your parcel should definitely be in transit on it's way to you. If this hasn't arrived by the end of this week, I'd encourage you to contact the person who sent this to you and get them to follow up." Now my question is, if the letter was handed to AUSTRALIA POST on the 4th of October , then why should I need to contact the sender (ON THE OTHE SIDE OF THE WORLD) for them to follow it up?? It doesn't make sense, you have said it was handed over to Australia Post on the 4th, therefore shouldn't Australia Post know where it is?? Such a great service we have running here..

I don't mean to take this out on you Steph but you must understand the frustration i am feeling, the question i have just asked is obviously too hard to answer so it is just evaded and ignored, you have admitted that Australia Post were the last ones in possession of my package, but that's where the trail ends,

I am out almost $100 with absolutely no recourse, and as far as i can see AusPost couldn't care less. Its a sad state of affairs that the package can successfully navigate the Spanish postal system but Australia Post cannot even transport a package between the two largest cities in the country.

Is it any wonder people are turning away from you guys in droves, there is no accountability, I am outraged that the CEO of this company earns over 2 million dollars a year for presiding over the disintegration of what was once a first rate service. I am generally not a fan of privatizing public assets, but AusPost is a shambles.

And for the record i did lodge an inquiry with "My Support" 4 days ago, I have heard NOTHING, but that doesn't surprise me.


Now to the 50% of complaints are saying, "Removing Australia Post from my supply chain."

And the swindling soft cock who gave Fahour a job, still hasn't sacked him.

Just because it's a parcel from overseas, doesn't mean you have to treat it poorly

2 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 16, 2016
So I have ordered something of of eBay, I paid extra for tracking, no problem. The seller gave me a website where I can track all packages in one place, perfect! So it leaves HongKong for Melbourne after a while. No problems here. Should be delivered within the next few days, easy! So I realise there is no tracking update. I felt like it was lost... o oh. So I have went to Australia Posts website and tracked it there. It shows exactly what is shown on the website i was given. But then sure enough...after around 10 WORKING DAYS SINCE IT ARRIVED IN SYDNEY, it was stuffed in my letter box even through the parcel says do not bend and fragile on it. So it was late (on behalf of Australia Posts control, EMS done everything on their part well). I live in a metropolitan area, so no service is to take 10 days after landing. So expected wait time was 12 days, I waited around 20. So I paid extra for a tracked service, and once it arrives in Australia, Australia Post thinks It doesn't have to scan it. Even though it has a HUGE barcode on it, that says SCAN EVENTS REQUIRED. Ps: This is always the case, for around 5 packages. Want the tracking number to prove it, Australia Post?

International small package left Sydney the morning of October 2nd and still not received.

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 16, 2016
The tracking information says it left Sydney the morning of the 2nd, and it was 'processed through facility' on the 5th of October. It is now the 16th and still no package and the tracking hasn't updated at all. This is ridiculous, I received something coming up from Sydney only last month from a private carrier and it took 2 and a half days to get to me, that is without express.

BAD SERVICE - EVEN WITH TRACKING

2 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 14, 2016
This service really is shoddy. I don't send a lot of parcels but when I do I opt for satchels from the post office. You think now with tracking you would get a reliable service. The price of satchels have gone up ridiculously in the last few years. Not only do they get lost but get delivered to wrong addresses too! Very hard to then get them back. I'll be looking to other courier services next time.

Not Only Are Parcels Not Delivered Now Opened Inquiry's Are Deleted Before Resolution

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 14, 2016
Recently I have sent two packages, Both have not shown up and for both I have opened inquiry's with Australia post support. After more then one month the first parcel was deemed lost and I was offered a refund of the postage costs. The second is still in limbo. In order to get this refund I was asked to provide my account number to auspost. In order to do this I logged into the support portal only to find both my recent inquiry's are missing as if they were never opened. They are numbered 07657837 & 07320839 Which I can provide because Luckily I have kept the emails. The Postal service is poor and now the online service is just as bad.

Waste of time

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 14, 2016
It's pretty clear that over the past year the Australia Post service has gone from bad to worse. It now takes more than 10-14 days for a parcel to reach me from Sydney. This is an utter joke.

Express parcels would always take 1-2 days more to get to me anyway so were a waste of money; but now. Oh my. It might take 4-5 days for it to arrive.

This isn't just one item either. Over the past two weeks every single package has been late. And some, that I ordered prior to my most recent package, haven't even arrived yet.

It's clear I need to choose a courier service from now on and avoid AusPost permanently.

Frustrated

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 14, 2016
I had few bad experiences with them at first but thought of giving it few more tries before feeling completely frustrated. I live in an apartment and can't believe that the posties can't differentiate between UNIT 5 and SHOP 5. Our mails go to the shop and we end up getting their mails. To make things worse sometimes we end up waiting for parcels only to realize its showing delivered on their website. This time there was no attempted delivery and no delivery card. Great.

Useless People. Never use them

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 14, 2016
I ordered something on 5/10/16 from Melbourne to Perth and it's been 9 days now. I called them or checked online but they don't even have any kind of information but I was told by sender it gonna arrive on 10/10/16 or 11/10/16 (3-5 working days max) and I am still in hope to get some answer from these useless people. Please don't use them.

Australia Post, what a joke!

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 14, 2016
8 days from Melbourne to country Victoria, and I still haven't received my parcel yet. Tracking number says that my parcel is still sitting in Campbellfield. Third world service, very disappointing Australia Post!

Too slow

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 13, 2016
Australia Post mail and parcels have taken twice to three times as long to receive. I have noticed this in the last 6 months. It is ridiculous. They must be making a fortune with the amount of online purchases that have to be delivered, but this is not reflected in their service. I usually have tracking with my parcels and I have not seen them moving for 3 business days???


Australia Post Official
Hey Misskim,

Do you have a tracking number you can share with me? I'll be happy to check this out for you

This service is disgusting- more akin to a third world country

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 13, 2016
I have been waiting for nearly six weeks for five parcels from UK and one from Canada (that's after another was 'lost') -- all cds & dvds. Sure enough they arrive in Australia, but thats the last that's heard. Phone Australia Post but after being put on hold for ages, I'm told AP will investigate. Only interested in profits - to hell with the service. And where I live (Southern Moreton Bay Islands, Q'ld) both mail and parcels are delivered by contractor - why doesn't AP revert to their own workers - as it is nobody is prepared to take responsibility - even told that because all the islands have the same post code, the parcels may have been returned, I ask you??
It's now over three weeks later and I've heard no more back-despite promises from their representative.


Meanwhile, another LRB is a few days late arriving (if it ever does arrive) and a cheque that I posted, to pay my credit card, to a bank in Sydney -- yes, 2 weeks later and they still haven't received it. WILL AUSTRALIA POST EVER LEARN THAT WE PAY FOR A SERVICE THAT THEY SEEM INCAPABLE OF DELIVERING ON? Actually, their service would be an insult to a Third World nation!!

Just too slow compared to other carriers.

2 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 12, 2016
I have found Australia Post to be comparable in price for sending parcels, sometimes a little cheaper, however I have found they are significantly slower in delivering parcels across the same distances.

Returning back to a sender

1 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 12, 2016
Sender has forgot to put unit 2 on a parcel and i called the same day they tried delivering to ask them if i could pick it up as the parcel was still in Brisbane...But apparently nothing can be done about it if its wrong address. Money grabbing. I'll make sure my international parcels don't go to there hands anymore.


Australia Post Official
Hi Almir, If there's an incorrect address on a parcel then we're unfortunately not able to amend this whilst it's in transit. Parcels generally get returned to sender the same day as the attempt... read more »
Was sitting for 3 days in Underwood post before it was returned and i called on the first day to pick it up. I didnt ask to amend it...i asked to pick it up myself. Only thing ill make sure is that it doesn't go through Austpost :).
