Horror stories are more believable
 1 out of 5, reviewed on Apr 25, 2017

I have many examples of woeful performance by Australia Post. But I will be accurate with my most recent experience. WARNING - my tone expressed is one of numbness - I think I am suffering some kind of post traumatic stress disorder that will never be cured.

I bought an item located in Melbourne. The sender packed the item and sent it as per normal processes via an Australia Post outlet. Nothing sinister here.

The parcel then starts it journey - first stop Sunshine West [insert chamber of hell].

It then passes through this facility with surp rising haste (about 24hrs) and makes it way to Chullora NSW [insert chamber of hell 2].

After having a siesta and a few other restful interludes, the parcel then makes its way BACK to Chamber of Hell [insert Sunshine West].

Currently, I do not know if it is going back to sender or is destined for another interlude like Wingfield South Australia [insert Chamber of Hell 3 - here I refer to a separate item that managed to visit Chambers of Hell 1, 2 and 3 on a number of occasions only 2-3 weeks ago].

So what to think? Have I got a well travelled item "in transit" or a missing parcel doing the interstellar tour?

As I said, this is but one example that is currently in the process of going foul.

I need not mention the items that crossed the Pacific ocean three times before making a Chamber of Hell 2 tour ....... those are other unbelievable tales of woe.

I will have to find a better more reliable service that doesn't say "We are here to help you". At this point I hope to not get the standard offering from Roxy.

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...
