The carding debacle rolls on, and on and on.... etc.

More and more people are saying, "We refuse to buy from business's, who only send things by Australia Post".

This is in fact, becoming the norm.

Here is another one.

Systemic Avoidance of Deliveries

1 out of 5, reviewed on Jun 30, 2016

In the last 12 months we have had a multitude of deliveries using Australia Post and of all of these we have NEVER had any parcels actually delivered to our door.

Instead we receive cards suggesting that Australia Post has attempted to deliver the parcel and that we were not home. We have witnessed the post man put the card into the letterbox but not attempt to deliver any parcels.

Today we were picking up a parcel from the post office (again) and whilst there we were informed the Australia Post had "attempted" to deliver a parcel (for our son' s fifth birthday a month earlier. They had not) three weeks earlier, but instead they had left a card (they had not), "but whilst you are here you can collect that parcel as well". How long would our son's gift have sat there? Just as well we had another delivery that Australia Post was too lazy/cost conscious to deliver.

This is a blatant systemic and unconscionable policy instituted in order to reduce costs.

People and businesses are paying for items to be delivered not delivered half way.

If Australia Post is going to complete only half of the delivery process they should only charge half the delivery cost.

If I wanted to go and pick up my orders I would just go to the shop rather than order it to be delivered!!

Other delivery companies don't seem to have an issue delivering to the house and catching someone at home.

I urge all businesses to avoid using Australia Post for deliveries (as they don't). 

If they (Australia Post) want to cut themselves out of the market by reducing their already meager service they can go right ahead. 

I will avoid using them whenever possible and I will reconsider ordering from businesses that use them. 

I would have given less stars but one is the lowest available.
