Purchased Wednesday, Delivered Friday. Yay Toll!



Yah - Purchased late Wednesday, from a place ~600K away...

Explicitly  asked for delivery by courier - NOT Australia Post.

Rather "casual" with their mail outs - kind of not expecting anything to arrive until say, Tuesday next week.

Not in a bad way - that's just how their sales / ware housing / waiting for fresh stock to come in - kind of process.

Here on Friday care of Toll Freight.

And considering the very delicate nature and size of the product, as well as the supplier waiting for fresh stock to arrive, prior to sending it on....

Rather surprised at the speed of it all actually. 

Not pissy about it, but as these parts involve atmospheric pressure measuring + research + pencil to paper calculating (lots) + compensation for temperature + measuring 4 pressure types, from partial vacuum, atmospheric pressure, and two other pressure sources - using about $50 of raw materials - because I really both enjoy creating and I refuse to be royally arse fucked by  some companies selling their wares for $1300 Au, when local retailers sell similar product for $400, but I can make my own for ~$50 in materials, if I apply my smarts and research the blended topics....

Press MSL (hPa)     Atmospheric pressure reduced to mean sea level.     

Press QNH (hPa)     "Press QNH" is QNH pressure. The correction from station level pressure to QNH pressure is based on the conditions specified by the International Standard Atmosphere. QNH pressure is used by pilots to set the altimeter of their aircraft. QNH pressure is closely related to Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) at low elevations, and can vary significantly from MSLP at high elevations.

The answer is 1.3332239. We assume you are converting between hectopascal and millimeter mercury [0 °C]. 1 pascal is equal to 0.01 hPa, or 0.00750061561303 mm Hg.

+ coefficents of linear thermal expansion and offsetting, altitude compensation etc., and offsetting etc..

Blah, blah, blah, so I can get an enormous amount of education, and minimise my expenses....

And I get to figure out "Why" instead of just being told "What".


And Toll just delivered the package, for something I was hoping to delay the doing of, for another week or so.

So I am not pissy about the very prompt delivery, and I am rather pleased to have gotten Fahours failures out of the delivery chain, but it's like having a hareem of 25 women to fuck, and another 9 decided to move in last night....

It's not like I did not want the supplies to come, but I already have quite enough to contend with for the foreseeable future, without manifesting any more bright ideas - though this was born of necessity, not enjoyment.

 Alas the rapture increased.

Yay Toll freight.

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.

Image
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...
