Congrats Michael!
A question for everyone: how’s your experience with tracking at Australia Post? Does it update often?
My kit arrived yesterday, safe and beautiful! Thank you so much! Will order again!
PS: International shipping with DHL express was nice and easy. You can now pay customs with PayPal! Really convenient. My parcel left Perth on Friday and arrived at my door (in Hamburg, Germany) at Wednesday.
I don't know what I'm doing but I hope I will end up with a guitar
Rubbish. The tracking is terrible and only a rough guide at best.Originally Posted by Nativebobcat

Aus Post tracking works a treat.... after the item has been delivered, sometimes.

I’ve not experienced any issue with it, I receive and send stuff all the time and it’s pretty much on the money 90% of the time.
disclaimer: I live adjacent the CBD in the country’s largest metropolis, my deliveries to my work address arrive from a depot 4 km away.
i do not for one moment believe that my experience is typical.

Absolute farce.Aus Post tracking works a treat.... after the item has been delivered, sometimes.
Tracking states delivery Tue 16 - Fri 19.
When I clicked on Tracking history....
'Attemped delivery, no one in attendance'.
Of course I was in attendance and there was no attempted delivery whatsoever.
Walked out to the mailbox and the the card was sitting there.
Now I have to wait until tomorrow and go down the post office to pick it up myself.
cheers, Mark.
We've had a few of these, but they were marked as delivered even though they weren't at our house, and we've been working from home for months and can see the mailbox from the computer. Fun times

I ordered a very small item on eBay. It had to get from Melbourne to Sydney. On tracking it did leave Melbourne after 4 weeks, visited Sydney and then went back to Melbourne. After 5 weeks I finally got it following lodging a complaint. If anyone wants the Australia Post CEO's email address PM me.
I may take you up on that colin. I have lodged a complaint.
Previously I was awaiting a guitar neck delivery, when I caught a glimpse of the postie in the front yard.
I opened the door to see a 'no one at home' card left on the stoop.
I snatched it up and chased the buggar over to his van.
He didn't have the parcel with him..he had to scrabble through other parcels on board to find it.
Unfortunately I didn't have my phone with me as I should have got his licence number and perhaps he could be replaced with somebody prepared to carry out their job.
cheers, Mark.
Edit: Just received notification that it's ready to be picked up at the post office.
Stand by for build diary number 4.
