Australia Post pulls the mail box from an international terminal.


LOL not even taking or making 25 post cards a day, to pay the boxes way.

It's why people use smart phones, tablets and laptops....

So the messages get there, immediately, and at very low cost.

Without being ripped off on postage fees, or your mail getting pilfered, getting lost, misdelivered, taking weeks, and getting the grand tour of getting fucked around if it does go astray.

Australia Post to axe mailbox from Cairns International Airport

INTERNATIONAL travellers will no longer be able to send postcards about their adventures in the Far North from Cairns Airport.

Australia Post is set to decommission the mailbox in the international terminal, after a period of low patronage.

The Federal Government-owned corporation says as few as two to three items a day were deposited at the mailbox, which sits at the end of the terminal’s check-in counter.

“Our customer service charter indicates that to be commercially viable, a box needs to receive an average of 25 articles per day,” an Australia Post spokeswoman said.

“Where we identify boxes that are under-utilised, we consult with the community over a 30-day period prior to removing or relocating a box.”

The mailbox has been at the airport for three years, and it is common for mailboxes to be installed at large airports, she said. There is also a mailbox in the domestic terminal.

A Cairns Airport spokeswoman said they would follow up with Australia Post about the move.

Personally, I'd tell them to fuck off and put in free Wi-Fi - and tow their mail box out on a chain behind a fork lift and drop it in the scrap bin and send it off to the scrap metal recyclers.

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...
