I found that my Galaxy S10+ being delivered today, so I came home early, and waited for the delivery to come.
Around 12:30, I heard a car door opening sound, so I looked out through my door and saw a delivery van. (My rooms just next to the door and was focused, since I was eager to see my new phone)
The guy came out of the van, and I was waiting for him to come in and knock, but after few seconds he just left without coming to the door.
So I ran out, but couldn't catch him, and inside the mailbox, I found out the 'You have a parcel' note.
I have no idea, why this delivery guy wasn't bothered to check whether there was anyone at home or not.
It would've only took him additional 1-2 minutes, but he just left.
Now since the post office has business hours from 9am - 5pm, I probably have to wait till Friday or Saturday to collect, since I have no time tomorrow.
Seriously, AUSPOST have extremely poor service.
P.S I did call the AUSPOST regarding this, but seems there's nothing they can do about and and told me to just pick it up later.
So in this hot weather, I am just whining here… wondering whether AUSPOST would ever have proper service.
Auspost contracts it out to a 3rd party as far as I'm aware, but if you complain it should be taken back to the delivery company to fix up, not fluffed off like here. Personally I always use parcel lockers though, going from 50-50 percent chance I'll actually get my package without issue to 89% has been way better.
Delivery driver wise you never know, I had ones that didn't even drop a "we missed you" note and I always had to go in to the post office to find out, but the one I have where i live now calls my on the mobile (I'm assuming sent with the package).
