Warning for those waiting on parcels

This morning’s 3AW rumour file suggests there may be quite a wait on our hands (am personally waiting on a parcel that’s meant to be delivered in the next 1-2 weeks and worried about the delivery now):

Caller Postie says by Monday week Australia Post contractors will not deliver any type of parcels to any households or buildings due to the low rate of pay. Postie says after several arguments with Aust Post the contractors have withdrawn.

If this rumour is repeated in other media outlets, then Aussie Post are bound to respond within the next few days so will update this post as things move along. In the meantime, if you’re waiting on any parcel deliveries, might I suggest you contact the sellers and talk about alternative delivery measures should this rumour prove true.
