The postal service really has a lot to consider, like really screening their delivery people before hiring them, because Australia Post can sully reputations of buyers and sellers especially if not registered. If I am not sending registered I tend to keep the receipt with the postcode on it (If I am not using $1 stamps that is).
I've already gone through an experience that troubled me greatly because of the postal service, and I have had two packages I've sent standard mail not delivered - so I've thankfully been able to come up with some replacements - but I do echo the sentiments here, if its valuable - register it.
it would have been registered if speed wasn't a factor, we thought express was best as there is a tracking number and it is supposed to arrive in 1 day.
out of over 1,000 ebay sales and almost 100 oztrader trades only 2 of my packages have ever gone missing, both are to members on this board..................sorry to gemz and scotty:v:
Oh no I wasn't having a go mate LOL
I was actually just joining the discussion on posting goods in this country.... sorry if you thought I was having a go. You're a great member and I've bought from you before with no worries.
Was just a general discussionHaving been in the position myself where I was a buyer and the package never showed up - but I had only paid half and because the parcel was not shipped the way I requested IE registered or express I refused to pay the other half and was called a thief - was just jumping in is all

if it happens to me on an expensive card i'll be getting aus post up in the small claims court for failing to carry out their services with 'due care & skill' and see how long their 'we're not responsible for lost mail' argument holds up lol. not long me thinks.
This year alone i have lost about $700 worth off cards that have not shown up,3 packages in the last 2 month's have not shown up.
I have almost stopped trading becuase of it,Just getting real sick of it.
I sure hope that card show's up for you.
Ive only had 1 package lost and that was from AJ who sent replacement cards - So ive been lucky![]()
I've lost a fair bit too, mainly due to being ripped off on beckett (stopped trading there) and moronic rip off sellers on ebay (now i just pay with paypal only).
Did that JR show up i sent you?
