Canberra Northwest auspost service is excellent. Never had any complaints. Well ok, once they lost my new passport. My bad experiences are for the most part with private courier services.
My rural post service Young region is incredible. Postie's name is Susan. She delivers Mon, Wed, Fri. I get the auspost auto-notification of delivery in the morning.
She leaves parcels in an agreed safe place even sign for parcels if i am not there and then sends me an sms to say she's left it there. If it's particularly valuable item, I'll send her an sms and ask her to leave it with the neighbouring property.
I can also get her to pick up outgoing mail by putting a red flag on my postbox because there are no post boxes in the district. If I was organised enough with packaging and postal costs, I could even call her to collect an outgoing parcel.
Fantastic Service!
