I had a similar experience. One day I got an email saying my package was at the local distribution centre. A few days later I got another email saying I can pick my parcel up from a Post office in Perth. Problem is I live in NSW.

Sometimes if they like the object inside,I think they Scam the parcels instead of scanning them.

Well that's why you get registered post with tracking number ...insurance covers
i did, that's what was so annoying about it, they didnt care at all, it turned up after a couple of days tho
Like Jaros, I've had parcels delivered from Coopers Brewery to rural Qld in 24 hrs - brilliant. But on another day????
I've got a bestie who works for AP sorting mail. She will tell you that AP put their workers under enormous pressure to sort mail faster and faster. Stands to reason that the harder you push people, the more mistakes that happen.
And don't forget, they have to make millions of $$$$$$$ just to pay the big boss. For doing what you say!!

They have automated sorting machines in some depots as well, bet they stuff up all the time.
Actually the closest store to me is in Rocklea a 25 min drive. The store where it was delivered from was at Northlakes -45 min's on a good day.DeathKiss said:

Often normal post is faster than express. Everything seems to goto Chullora lol I can get a parcel from the USA, quicker than I can from WA.

No, registered doesn't mean it's insured. Insurance is a extra on top.

How stupid is this, if I want to send a letter to the other side of Mount Gambier, it gets sent to Adelaide for sorting, then it is sent back to Mount Gambier again for delivery. The word efficiency doesn't exactly come to mind regarding a process where a letter does nearly a 1000km round trip just to be delivered in the same town. When I asked the lady behind the counter if there was any way of getting it there faster, she said I had to pay extra on top of the existing stamp price rises to avoid having it forwarded to Adelaide.
DeathKiss said:Long short story ....I have ordered from CWS Mudgee NsW my garret atx 250 last Wednesday ...
It has been posted on Thursday afternoon , processed in sunshine Vic on Friday at 4 Pm.....
On Monday morning it has been market as in transit from Thomastown VIC at 8 am ..... and processed again in same day at 4 pm back to sunshine vic.....Tuesday at 1 pm it has been processed at Chuloora nsw???? Today is Thursday and after having a chat with Australia post .....it seems that they lost my parcel ????
So dissapointed into Australia post and p***ed off .....
Rant over
Hope it turns up soon ! better late than never though.
Sounds like the automated scanning system has let you/ them down.
Till recently I had posted hundreds all around the country and only had one not delivered. A couple had made a similar journey to yours but eventually arrived to the unhappy customers.
On the receiving end 2 never arrived though and 1 smashed in transit.Looking forward to your pictures of ur finds in the coming weeks
good luck!

Heard a whisper the new CEO has cut staff by closing the smaller sorting centers, filling truckloads to major ones. Got the price increase approved therefore increasing profits and his bonus. His $000000000 house extension and and renovation is now almost completed apparently.
Compulsory 5 day delivery service is now being debated.
I hope his new detector turns up soon!

Insurance cover to $100.00 is included in registered mail (or it used to be) and if you require extra insurance you pay relitive to the increased insurance ammount, and the contents have to be stated, for the standard registered letter/package the contents don't have to be stated. Ken.
