Australia Post gives reader’s parcel a bum steer

AVID reader Peter Strack wants to throw the book at Australia Post after an order he placed with a Brisbane store was delivered to his Lockyer Valley home – via Victoria.

Mr Strack, 59, ordered two books from bookseller QBD on November 1 and they were shipped the same day from Archerfield on Brisbane’s southside.


A dismayed Peter Strack tracked two books he ordered from QBD – 100km from his home – as they made their way to Victoria and back.

The Regency Downs resident was surprised two days later when he used the parcel tracking number to check on the delivery, only to see it was way down south in Sunshine West, Victoria.

Oz Post sent Peter Strack’s cracker read on quite the journey.

The parcel took a week to arrive from less than 100km from its original destination.
Australia Post is about to hit the Christmas rush, its busiest time of the year, where it processes more than 1 million items a day.

Mr Strack, a self-funded retiree, said he was amazed to see the parcel travel so far.

“I was shocked to see it was in Victoria, especially since it only needed to come from Archerfield to not less than an hour west of Brisbane,” Mr Strack said.

“I’ve had stuff arrive in two days. It’s not a very good way to run a business.

“They’ve got a tracking system so it should have come up as wrong.”

A spokesman for Australia Post said it was investigating what happened.

“We apologise for the delay in the delivery of this item,” the spokesman said. “The vast majority of parcels we deliver arrive on time or early, and we continue to work hard to meet our customers’ needs.”

Australia Post copped criticism this year for increasing the cost of a regular stamp to $1.

Australia Post returned a $36 million after-tax profit in 2015-16, following a $122 million loss the previous year, its first in more than 30 years.

The Aussie institution copped criticism this year for increasing the cost of stamps and fiddling with delivery dates.

But the government-owned corporation has actually improved its services in the past year, with 5113 complaints to the Postal Ombudsman, down 9 per cent on the previous year.

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...
