Bureaucratic Stupidity

So, despite it making little, if no sense, Australia Post in it’s wisdom, have decided to close my local post office.  So anytime that I’m sent a letter or package that doesn’t fit into a standard mailbox, I’m stuck with the job of having to retrieve the little red piece of paper and trudge off to my nearest post office – a position even Australia Post can’t make up their mind about.

So in the space of a week – I get two of these.  Two packages – two different post offices to collect from.  One doesn’t open before 9:00am in the morning.  The other doesn’t open on weekends.  Really great if you’ve got a city job which means you don’t have the opportunity to meander around the suburbs of a week-day.

Australia Post and customer service – two things that don’t go together.

We think we may have a new postie on our route who is either inexperienced or just plain incompetent. Instead of leaving stuff at the Hypermarket (which is what they generally did in the past), we got notices Thursday this week to pick stuff up from Zillmere on Friday afternoon. Head down Saturday morning... and it isn't there yet :P
