Bahtinov Masks

Bahtinov Masks - update - I no longer, due to Australia Posts inability to deliver be sending any to the Eastern States this side of Christmas. I sent one to TAS and another to QLD around the 26/10 both recipients still have not received the item - Both were sent standard postage cost $2.20, all items have a RTS on the back - I did point out it took 11 days for one of these parcels to be received by someone In Perth, note one recipient by the tone of the call I received questioned my honesty, which makes me see red, so I refunded him the total cost - Australia Post service is crap always has been(since privatized) unless you are prepared to pay for Express Parcel delivery but this side of Xmas there probably will be delays even with this

I have sent many masks all over Australia and the only one that did not make it turned out that the address was wrong. I sent a replacement and the first one eventually came back.
But yes, normal delivery takes over a week and some people do start to wonder.

Hi,

I sent 3 ebay articles. One to QLD and two to VIC around 3 months ago at the height of the lockdown.

The QLD item got there in 5 days. The VIC items took over 2 months. I raised a lost item request on one as AUSPOST said it was going to be delivered the next day on the tracking site but it stayed that way as not delivered.

Eventually both were delivered, but last week I received a phone call from AUSPOST in relation to my lost item request asking me if it had been delivered, i told them it had been.

Better late than never i guess....
