BIRD.... Aussie Post and my Barra Mounts.
« on: August 17, 2020, 02:46:38 PM »
Astrid rang me this morning, to say, the postie was at home with a package.

Yes Bird, our postie rings us, as we have a 70 metre long driveway.

Astrid rang me, and said, are you home..... NO, i'm in Gatton.
Tell her to leave the package on the back table.

Got home, no package, just a note in the letterbox to say, go the P.O. after 1:30.

I message Astrid, to tell her to go to the P.O. on the way home.
An hour later, I get a message the postie is here.

Walk out and sure enough, there she is with the parcel.
I started telling her about Bird's dilemma with Aussie post.

I didn't even say a name.... she just went.... not that prick Bird?

ha ha ha ha ha
Paid for the parts (Tuff Mounts for the Z car) late last Wednesday, South Aust. to rural Qld, here Monday by lunch time.

I love Australia Post.....  :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup:

Paid for a computer Tuesday afternoon to be sent from Brisbane to the GC, the seller used TNT express. It's still not here, I could have walked there and back, only in business hours, and still got it quicker. :(

Gave them a call this afternoon, after a while waiting on hold, spoke to someone, he said "I have to apologise, apparently they couldn't fit it in the truck so they left it on the dock" (this was for its trip from Bris to the GC.) Then the icing on the cake "do you know what it looks like"  ::)

Nothing special, just a Dell all in one, you can pick up the business-grade ones second hand for a pretty reasonable price, being business-grade they are pretty well made/specced. My current one lasted me 5 yrs before dieing so can't complain for $500ish

Just guessing, staffing at the Melbourne facility has had to be cut due to Covid restrictions (people per sqm rule, and 2 of the workers tested positive last week which would have caused drama's internally with zoning and restricted movement of people between work tasks) so processing capacity is reduced and volumes have gone through the roof due to more people shopping on-line. Excess product has most likely had to be trucked to Sydney to be processed to try and clear the backlog.

This was the one that I got, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Optiplex-24-7440-AIO-i5-6600-3-30Ghz-8Gb-Ram-256Gb-SSD-24-Full-HD-Win-10/192998932601?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Like most refurb/used products, you are rolling the dice a little, but you can buy additional warranty if you want to, not sure what it actually covers though.

Yeah maybe but still a complete waste of energy time and resources in doing that. I bet its just a cock up Ive had nothing but issues with australia post over the last few years. My brother is in logistics / freight forwarding and he said that austpost and startrek are both basket cases when it comes to operations which is a suprise given how much of the market they run.

Same here.... I've posted stuff/parts/Shit all over the place. (Bris to Perth) never an issue.

Lots of stuff sent by post.... always prompt delivery.

The worse I ever had, was 7 days from the Sunny Coast to Tin Can Bay.
