Australia Post... f**k...

TheSneakiness · 27-01-2006, 04:29 PM

I've had it with everything right now.

First it was the trusty cam gear, then the dips**t in SA who sent me the wrong f**kin retainers for the valve springs, now, it's Australia Post.

I've been tracking the replacement retainers since 8:30 this morning, they arrived in Brisbane at 20 to 11, so I ring Australia Post to see where it is now... (It's 3:20pm, and I'm sick of not having my car)

Me - I've got a consignment number for a package I'm waiting on. It's ########

AusPost - Sorry, that's not a tracking number

Me - I've been tracking it all morning on your website. What do you mean it's not a tracking number?

AusPost - It needs two letters in front of it. Or else it isn't a package that can be tracked...

Useless as tits on a bull...

ouch, that suck big time.

i just got my new front head lights in the post today. they look sweet, tho it took them 3weeks from sydney to wagga. a 4 1/2 hr drive. go figure.

TheSneakiness · 27-01-2006, 04:49 PM

Apparantly the retainers missed the delivery cut-off...

Reminder to everyone, don't order bits you need the next day when the next day happens to be a public holiday...

well im hoping like all hell that the package that i sent someone at 4:30 on Wednesday gets to its desination by today... i sent it express post. It needs to, the Big Day Out is this weekend, and his ticket is in the envelope!

Well I'm expecting a leather corset from Wollongong, and I noticed my ebay feedback had increased by one, so I assume it was sent yesterday.

Hope it's here by Tuesday!!

Recieved a letter last week was posted on the 11th from wentworthville recieved at greystanes on the 23rd. A distance of about 3 or 4 k's.And they have the hide to call it a delivery service. When i looked at the postmarks it had been into thesydney sorting centre then down to melbourne then found it's way to seven hills then finally to me.

australia post can get rooted, it seems that our mail man likes our mail more than we do, we regularly have mail that just isnt delivered, bills etc sometimes arnt paid because we never get them, we also get alot of mail addressed to a completley different suburb.....too bad there isnt an alternative

It's for a concert I'm going to, before you all bring the tone of the thread down into the gutter...

It laces up at the back, and looks something like this:

I haven't watched it since I was about 10, and therefore don't remember it much...

There is still a big following for it in the goth scene around here as far as I know.

I was going for a more Kate Beckinsale in Underworld look.

I just hate it when you order something from overseas and the cheap b@stards send it by land mail when you ask for air mail....several months down the track you eventually get it. For god's sake, get it right.....

I've been pretty lucky with Aust Post so far....except for the one loser delivery person who keeps giving us cards to say that we need to pick up the mail from the post office the next suburb away. Nice one.

I recently ordered some blank DVDs from a company on the other side of town. The parcel was about 3kg - Aust Post charged $19, Direct Couriers, who were another freight option charged $6.

i just ordered a mail order bride, how long do i have to wait??

benoxr · 29-01-2006, 05:58 PM

Russian bride - no waiting, there already boxed ready to go.
Thai - dont wait, you have to go get her & meet the family so they can be sure you can send most of your hard earned cash back to them.
Aussie - you'll be waiting forever or until you win X Lotto, whichever comes first

OK not familiar with that one.....but was not trying to be below the gutter...the Rocky theme is what first sprang to mind.

Hope you pull it off.
