Australia Post( Tell us your problems )

[Nugget]

My friend who works at the Post Office says, sometimes the delivers a too lazy and just pop the note in the mailbox instead of knocking on the door and getting you to sign it off.

You're lucky. With me it's every time

Nope - the one word is market.

Australia Post has to post a dividend every year to the federal government, they're not being carried - I don't believe there's anything preventing a private enterprise from setting up a competing postal system, except that the market is conditioned to use the "post office".

Australia Post made $241m profit in 2010-11.

this has me swearing. DAMN them thieving bastards.

Try this one on for size...my other half purchased a firearm from a dealer about 3 hours away from us. The dealer said it would be no issue to post the firearm because he would make it registered and sign only.

Well....about a day after that conversation I left work a little early and got home to find a huge package by my door, longer over wider, in a brown recyclable paper wrap to try and look inconspicuous...and guess what it was...sitting as bright as day, perched up against my fly-screen door...

Definitely wasn't the Bulgari perfume I bargain purchased off eBay for $30 or the book sets I had purchased...

Needless to say I am lucky our delivery guy knows we online purchase a lot, because the package had my other half's name on it, but completely incorrect spelling on the address label and incorrect post code (it was something like Raylene instead of Riley)...I am also lucky the dealer had 1/4 of a brain to have wrapped the firearm in the brown paper because as I opened it the model and brand name of the firearm was plastered on the original box it comes in.

Imagine someone got hold of that?
