With all the buzz words that have popped up the last decade or so, I'm still struggling to see the "logic" in "logistics"!
I once had a package coming from Sydney destined for QLD, but apparently it needed to go to Melbourne before going back to Sydney and then on to QLD.
FWIW, I'm not really bagging Aus Post. 98% of the time, I'm surprised how quickly things arrive especially over the last two years.
However they still have their moments!
