Petition Dot Org Vs Australia Post and their bullshit.


No wonder the people are saying "Go Fuck Yourself" to Australia Post and it's moron management.

https://www.change.org/p/australia-post-live-up-to-your-slogan-we-deliver-and-deliver-our-parcels-to-salt-ash-nsw-and-surrounding-areas-as-we-have-paid-you-for-that-service

Live up to your slogan "We Deliver" and deliver our Parcels to Salt Ash, NSW and surrounding areas as we have paid you for that service.

At the moment, if you live in Salt Ash NSW and some surrounding areas, you do not get your Parcels delivered by Australia Post, if you are home or not.   You have to drive 30-45 minutes round trip to either Tanilba Post Office or Medowie Post Office and if your parcel is quite large, either Newcastle 1.5 hrs round trip or Taylor's Beach 1 hr round trip, some cases having to hire a trailer. When you have paid for Door-to-Door delivery, you expect your parcels to be delivered. 

Some people are disabled, have no transport, elderly or trying to run a business and rely on this service and may I add, have paid for it. It is the 21st Century and more and more people are buying online, in most cases, without an option of who will deliver their parcels, especially if buying from overseas, and expect delivery of said parcels.
It was only a few years ago that Parcels were delivered in Salt Ash and many residents can attest to this.
A response that many in my area receive from Australia Post:
"We have been in contact with the Newcastle Parcel Delivery Centre, and they have advised that your area falls under what is called 'Roadside Delivery', which means that the delivery people will only deliver to the roadside itself. This is usually based on population density in an area, but there are other factors that do prevent a door-to-door delivery for less centralised areas.
However, there are steps that can be taken to ensure you get your parcels. If you are able to set up a large delivery point for parcels, like a large container/locker/etc that parcels can fit inside of, most Delivery Centres will be more than happy to put non-signatory items into this spot, and we can request that they adhere to that, as a sort of compromise in this situation.
Let me know if that is a possibility for you, and I can go back to the Delivery Centre and see if they can accommodate this."
That system is just not logistical, those containers are $200 ea. at Bunnings, more to the point, why was the parcel service available before and not now? 
Salt Ash is geographically not remote, many areas that do receive Parcel Delivery, e.g. Tanilba Bay, Lemontree Passage, the Parcel Deliverer needs to go past Salt Ash to get to these areas. 
When the mail person writes out the Parcel Pickup-slip and places it in the letterbox, they could beep their horn and the client could walk to the letter box and picked up the parcel, hence "roadside delivery". 
Many people have been standing in their driveway during this exact situation, and the mail person has delivered the mail and added a parcel pickup slip to the mail box, so much for "Roadside Delivery". 
It makes no sense. Courier's don't have a problem, why would Australia Post? If it is an issue of not being able to afford to provide such a service, then they should not accept delivery of the parcel to our area in the first place.
We just want to get what we pay for - our items to be delivered to our door or at the very least, to our letterbox - Roadside Delivery.
Please sign and let Australia Post know, your not HAPPY!

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...
