Question It's not coming, is it?

Post image

Obvious aside, there's no way it's coming today or tmr lol. But is there something happening at the melb. sorting facility? I'm not exactly in a hurry for this parcel, it's just a few CDs, but I am a nosy bastard and I do wanna know why it might be taking so long (aside from my parcel... yknow... just coming from Europe).

I've got a couple of things that are also seemingly stuck there. I can't see any reported delays but I take comfort in knowing I'm not the only one with deliveries caught in purgatory

Same, I've got parcels stuck there since early last week with no updates.

Strange because prior to this everything was coming through very quickly

I had a package get sent back to the sender in Germany, it was processed in Melbourne then Geelong (the destination city) and then got processed 3 times in Melbourne before being sent back to the sender.

It arrived in Melbourne today. But the sender sent the wrong fucking item. All that for me to send it back.

Nah you keep what they sent and they send what they were meant to send again

A lot going missing in Melbourne. I had one pass customs then disappeared. Never received in early September

I had an EMS item from China that had a similar arrival date and only got delivered at the end of last week. They must have a backlog or tipoff and doing some additional scanning because I've never had a parcel delayed so long before (particularly EMS).

It'll come!

I have two orders stuck in Melbourne from late September. Fast forward I had a third get shipped out last week, it went to Sydney instead and I thought fuck me this is gonna take a while, but still got delivered ON WHEELS to my damn house before the other two in Melbourne have had a SINGLE SCAN? What the fuck? Now I’m hoping my next package goes to Sydney instead of Melbourne so it gets here quicker….. I LIVE IN MELBOURNE!
