Here, hold my beer, my latest AusPost gripe.
Mate sends parcel from Kingaroy to me here in Cannotberra. Left Monday, 5th. Arrives Cannotberra, Friday 8th. out for delivery at 11:36am. Driver decides parcel is mis-addressed (even though the Kingaroy mate has been sending me stuff for ever...), and proceeds to deliver it to someone else a whole half of the ACT away...said person thankfully brings it back to AusPost, who, instead of trying to re-deliver, return it to sender. After talking to AusPost on the phone, was told the driver simply marked it as incorrect address, then marked it as delivered in another suburb...even though no even similar street names are in that suburb! The issue is the morons have to walk all of 50 metres to deliver, and seeing they are on a supposed tight schedule, will either simply mark as incorrect address, or return it to the depot and LATER card it (had this issue previously).
So, it arrives in Kingaroy tomorrow. AusPost is aware of this incompetent moron delivery guy (including my post-mistress, who has the same issue!), and have told me that the sender will be able to resend FREE.
