Delayed Post

[DELTAprime]

I ordered Siege Megatron from Amazon US since it was pretty cheap but just got an email saying:-
"DHL couldn't deliver your package
Please contact DHL to get your package back on track."
The email says it might be because of incomplete address but I've used the same address for a US order and had no problems.

Anyone had something similar? Do I really need to contact DHL or will it sort itself out?

I got that same message from Amazon when Fastway set one of my deliveries to a "delayed" status last year. So it might just be delayed.

Posted a package to Europe on Tuesday nearly 2 weeks back. Took 8 days to leave Melbourne (I live in the burbs) for its destination. The initial estimate for delivery time was 9 working days, but the guy at the post office said that estimate was basically a pipe dream, and probably at least double it. I’m not confident at all.

I posted a package on April 1st to Japan.

Its been stuck like this ever since:

It's on its way

There is no/not enough flights available quote auspost for japan

. Please be advised that we are experiencing international delivery delays into Japan of up to 2 weeks due to limited flights and government restrictions.

Please note: Australia Post will suspend Economy Services for parcels into Japan effective 3 April and until further notice. Express and Standard Service for parcels will continue but there will be delays. Economy Services for letters will continue. Express items will be prioritised during this period.

Australia Post continues to work closely with partner airlines and postal operators to try to move items as quickly as possible.

I don?t believe anyone says, anything from outside Australia is basically surface speed or worse do likely 3-4 months.

Local eastern states to WA might take 1 month or less. Is a suck up, nothing we can do.

Something coming by DHL arrived in the country a week ago and it hasn't had an update since. Hoping for something any day now.

News for everybody update from USPS

Australia
4-22-20

Australia Post advises that it has declared a situation of force majeure for all inbound and outbound letters, parcels and express mail service items until further notice. Precautionary measures imposed by the government to curb spread of COVID-19 are affecting daily operations and services offered by airlines and other transportation providers. This is having a direct impact on service quality for both international inbound and outbound mail. Customers should expect delivery delays.

For those in NZ

New Zealand
New Zealand Post advises that while the government has declared a lockdown in an effort to slow spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the post is an essential business that will remain in operation insofar as possible under the state of emergency provisions and regulations in place. New Zealand Post can no longer guarantee service delivery standards, such as delivery times and other quality measures, and is invoking a situation of force majeure in relation to any such standards until further notice.

Additionally, a number of measures have been implemented to ensure the safety of both customers and staff, effective until further notice. These include delivery changes for items requiring signature and no longer providing over-the-counter services which will also mean a reduction in the capacity to accept international outbound items. Businesses that are deemed to provide essential services are still able to send their products.

With many flights suspended and transport capacity reduced, New Zealand Post is limited in its ability to send outbound mail to a number of countries. Visit http://www.nzpost.co.nz/contact-supp...l-mail-updates for up-to-date information on the affected countries.

I didn’t know what Force Majeure was so types australia post force majeure in google and this came up

“Force Majeure” means any cause or event which is not within the reasonable control of a party and which could not reasonably have been prevented by that party which includes acts of God, war, acts of terrorism, extreme weather conditions, floods, earthquakes, fire and industrial disputes.

Sorry if this was not needed

AusPost says they can no longer guarantee next business day delivery on Express Post. Which is understanding given the current cicurmstances. Yet they are still selling Express Post satchels, envelops & boxes (& for full price).
