Delayed Post

[Ethel_Hallow]

There's a guy in WA I know via Discord. He posted an item to someone in Perth, yet somehow the item ended up Sydney and now has to make its way back to Perth. Pretty terrible work Australia Post part.

Oh, my goodness.

I have a theory yet I am probably wrong. The government owns Aust Post and won't spend the extra profits on the system during this time. They said they hired more staff and working around the clock yet they also said they are stopping letter deliveries. We know many small parcels go into the letters deliveries. I am probably totally wrong, but the current government like saving money yet they had to spend money, so they need to recoup there loses somewhere.

Wild guess not my area of expertise just wondering how the government is going to fund the increases in welfare and the job keeper. Australia Post makes money on those extra parcels; therefore, the government can profit from the gains, and the poor Aust post people are chasing their tails around with no additional help.

Like my old boss told me to - I quote ''work harder sell more sandwiches so I can buy another. Subway'' I did, and he bought more stores and I well yeah mmmm...

I had 2 Aus Post parcels arrive from Sydney to Perth yesterday - one as a van parcel and one in the general mail. Both took longer than the usual 1 week - about one and a half to two weeks.

Australia Post have updated there united states postage times now its 5=7 weeks

United States of America
12 May 2020

There are flight disruptions and cancellations impacting all inbound and outbound items to USA.

We expect delays to USA of up to 5-7 weeks due to flight cancellations and government restrictions because of COVID-19. Express items will be given priority over Standard items during this time.

Australia Post has suspended its Economy Services for parcels effective 3 April and until further notice. Economy Services for letters will continue.

Australia Post is working closely with partner airlines and postal operators to move items as quickly possible.

Please note: USA will no longer be performing signature on delivery for items delivered to USA due to government restrictions.

Australia Post lost a parcel I sent someone ''eBay sale''. Now I have to claim compensation from our lovely Australia post, meanwhile the lady ''buyer'' is going to negative feedback me and PayPal want blood.. I mean money.

But on the lighter end of this Aust post delivered my Thundercracker in one piece, he is now taking up room on my desk still in the box smirking at me
