My dark sky property is in a rural setting. I have to say that my postal contractor, Susan, is fantastic. I get an automated notification if a delivery is coming. If I'm not going to be at home, I send her an sms (yes I have her number and she has mine) asking her to use a special garden shed out of the rain that we've organised for parcel deliveries rather than the rural mail box out on the main road. She will do this even if the parcel will fit so that it doesn't get wet. She snaps the padlock closed behind her as she leaves. I filled out and signed a deliver without signature authority so that anything can be delivered without signature.
When in Canberra, the service to my apartment building is almost as good except that I don't have the delivery contractor on speed dial. I get a notification asking what i want them to do if I'm not home. Sorry, for those who have had problems but I think it's that you have a bad local contractor not Australia Post as an organisation.
All organisations have good and bad employees. Making sweeping generalisations about Auspost in this forum won't solve your problems and only serves to unfairly disparage and insult the good contractors out there. Those of you with bad contractors could get yourselves a post office box to solve the problem.
