Australia Post "misdirects" 40,000 parcels a day!

[House]

Was looking into The Tile as I never feel comfortable sending $1k+ packages anywhere. Never had a problem but for $17.50 (if you buy 4), think it would be worth buying a few. Send it in a SAE and the receiver simply posts it back once delivery has been made. Range is only 30m but could be useful if tracking shows the PO is last place it was seen.

I don't understand how this would help? If you have to tether to your phone and it has no real time GPS tracking capabilities then what benefit would you get from attaching it to a parcel? The last location would always be the post office...

Apparently you mark it as a 'lost item' and you'll be notified of its whereabouts. Some guy used a similar product called Trackr to find his stolen bike 10 days later.
