Went real fast until it hit their mookin yaba facility at the Brisbane airport, just sitting there now, paid for overnight express and it will have been at least five days before I get this very urgent package of medicine. Auspost no help at all. Show details
I am totally disappointed with Aus Post. They are lazy. I used Post Express on 27th, and had the item scanned in the system on the 30th. Can you believe that? They are just a bunch of useless people. Show details
Total scammers...I posted my package on 25 July express post and I know that they don't move post on a Saturday but hoped that mine would be picked up on Monday 27th...well it was but on express post hoped that it would be over east in 1 day as told to me however after checking now they even breached their own promise of overnight and 2 to 3… Read more
business days...my package now arrives on the day that my settlement must happen...this service is shite and should not operate...in fact they should say that express post takes 5 to 7 business days and regular or standard post 12 to 14 days...I will not use this service again...they are too big for their shoes....

In transit to Sydney then back to Melbourne? (Resolved) – Tracking number: Z8J506426401000614502 Overall service is good, but How come it is in transit to BOTANY NSW then back to Melbourne VIC facility again? I understand this is now a difficult time, but it would be better if AUSPOST could let us know what is going on..... Update: Received a prompt response from Casey next day morning, the wording… Read more · 1
of tracking information is a bit misleading, but everything went smoothly. Please see her response for details. Now I am aware what is going on now, thank you. Should receive my package today.
Pretty satisfied I can still receive my package within 4 days given current covid lockdown in NSW. Kudos to the hard working auspost team!
Absolutely horrendous. Would not recommend ever using. Just use independent post or something else. Paid for express delivery on medication. Package has gone from Brisbane to 4 different locations in Sydney (my location). Then to canberra to 3 different locations then back to Sydney. Great in a fuel crisis. And now they are telling me it's just going around in circles. Show details
They likely lost my package. There have been no updates or compensation so far. I hope the relevant authorities will intervene, regulate, and penalize them. Show details
Absolutely useless , all 3 operators I spoke with. 1st person just disconnected as they are useless. 2nd person gave me a warning for being aggressive... I have waited all day for this item and still nothing. 3rd Operator - beyond useless Australia post , employ " call centre " ( insert irony ) operators that can effectively communicate in… Read more
English and know how to resolve a customer that has been hugely inconvenienced .

I began recording the conversation from the 1st idiot after 3 minutes, I have over an hour of recordings. Do better , deliver my item/s and fire the 3 useless " call centre " operators that don't give af.

9 days for an express post package to go from Brisbane to Melbourne after being sent back to Brisbane for no reason, then sent to and from Melbourne Airport THREE times. And they've got the cheek to say my package is 'on time'. Absolutely hopeless. This is urgent prescription medication. Show details
Follow-up · I can't answer an of those questions because I'm not privvy to the incompetence of Australia Post staff
I sent or tried to send an express parcel which was a book to my mother-in-law from North Queensland to Killarney Vale Central Coast of New South Wales. I have spent four or five days on the telephone waiting for managers to call back. That don’t… Read more
call back. The parcel was not delivered they said there was no safe place to leave the parcel then they said that they couldn’t leave their motorbike and walk to the unit door and deliver it. Two different stories for the same delivery. The lady in the unit Next Door has 5 to 7 parcels per week delivered without any problem. I feel that the gang Lang stalking which has previously been going on for 26 years has a lot to do with this at the facility where they sort the mail spoke to [Name Removed] the so-called manager after five days and she says that there is no service that they can pick up the parcel from the post office and take it to an 86-year-old woman I think it’s disgusting. They are so rude to talk to. No one calls you back. You can’t get anywhere. Or get anyone to talk to. You have to like it or lump it. You pay $15-$17 express mail and it doesn’t even get to the destination. They come up with excuse after excuse after excuse something has to be done about this disgusting terrible service for express post with Australia Post it does not exist most of the time. Cameras viewed and there was no one from any delivery service or Australia post that entered the property from 9am to 6pm that day. Cameras have been viewed 20 times.
Follow-up · I’m still not happy the way express over night delivery is being handled within Australia. It’s now not the same as it used to be to be. It’s all over the place and items that use to be delivered the next day are not being delivered the next day for an unknown reason it’s completely changed. Also payment the extra to have a signature on arrival… Read more

Despite having my gate to the front door wide open and waiting actively for the package, the lazy delivery driver forced it through the narrow gap on the box. This was a delicate product, a car part, and this st***d ignor*mus forced it through,… Read more
squashing and almost ripping open the little box. Seriously, if he damaged it Im going to sue them, this sort of rubbish happens all of the time! They are just too lazy to get their a** of the bike to take the package up to the door, its disgusting! YOU PPLE, get out of the delivery business, the bakery business, the petrol business and the wine business!! Just open a bunch of restaurants, thats all you seem able to do! Maybe some IT, but not always!
Follow-up · The part wasnt damaged as we discovered upon installing it. However, if it had been, nothing would have been done. Ive had parcels of close friends delivered to the wrong address and the parcels were not returned and there was no compensation offered. So Im glad it wasnt damaged. The part was wrapped in bubble wrap and then in a small carton. The small gap was the MAILBOX gap.

I'm in Perth, WA. I ordered some TENS pads from a seller in NSW. Ordered 2/12/2025. Received this morning, 5/12/2025. Package arrived one day later than expected . Satisfied with the service and delivery. Show details
After a few hiccups 2 years ago, the service has been excellent. Easy to use the app, delivery always on time, including interstate and overseas parcels, when directed to Australia post. Polite and well mannered delivery persons. Also receive an estimated time for delivery, so no need to stay home all day. Show details
I posted a small parcel express post with keys in it on a Tuesday afternoon from a Melbourne suburb to a Brisbane suburb. The tracking said it would be delivered by Friday or the following Monday but it was delivered by the next morning (Wednesday). I’m so happy with the service - a very small cost compared to a courier company. Show details

Waiting for a express post package, meant be here says ago. Can't email, Only way auspost let's you contact them is by giving them tracking number, then the generic message, just wait for it , it's coming. You can not get hold of them without calling, being on hold for half the day. Now get email saying not till next week. It was on way, I… Read more
checked tracking, was actually half way, then got to Seymour and got sent back to Melbourne. Absolutely pathetic service. Never changes, but prices always go up.
Don’t deserve one star. Lazy postie who doesn’t even try to deliver but takes things straight back to the Post Office. As I’m 79, disabled and housebound, I don’t have a hope of getting there. I sat at the open front door yesterday for two hours waiting for him in the freezing cold…..no sign of him, just like the last four packets. No answer to… Read more
their phone number, the chat just says they’re busy and cuts you off. What a disaster of an organisation!
Sent a parcel via Express Post to Perth from Blackheath Post Office (NSW), it took six days to get there. It is now being returned via Express Post. I just got a tracking estimate that it will arrive next Tuesday that will be six days as well. I noticed it layed around a Perth Post Office for at least 24 hours before it moved again. What is the… Read more
point of Express Post between NSW and Perth - it takes the same time as ordinary post - they make zero effort to make it faster.

This is my second or third negative review on Australia Post and these do not have any effect whatsoever, so just a steam out. Purchased an urgent computer part for from Scorptec Computers in Victoria and paid for an Express delivery by "renowned" Australia Post. FOR A REASON! It was flown from Melbourne to Adelaide on Friday last week (19/06) and… Read more
once again, had stuck in transit between Adelaide Airport and Lonsdale Depos, with no means of tracking it down, or talking to a person, or consultant - fricking black box as always with Australia Post. Steaming out. I wish I could go with Amazon! Australia Post are useless waste of Nation's money and must be substituted by Amazon urgently.
Australia Post is full of lazy workers. My Express post parcel is stuck in Redbank Queensland as the staff don't know how to send it to S. Aust. using express post. THE AUSTRALIA POST TRACKING IS C--P AS IT DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD. Aust Post needs a new CEO and staff that can get off their buts and get things moving, better still let it become… Read more
a private business like our local P.O. time you woke up Aussie Post !! Australia needs your service so a VERY BIG change to the operations side of things instead of looking for $$$$$$$ all the time. Aust Post was once a service to the AUSSIE public, NOW IT'S A BIG LAUGH.

I ordered a delivery from Melbourne at 9.00am with an extra charge for express delivery I have a business van off the road and was awaiting a new alternator I have been chasing all day this delivery and now I am told it’s tomorrow delivery Not good enough when they say express post guarantee next day delivery Show details
Too many times now have I been home and a package should be delivered, but instead of a knock at the door, or ringing of the doorbell, they just send a text saying 'attempted delivery' and take it straight tot he post office without even trying. About as bad as the private contractors at this stage. Presumably this is down to rushed workers and not enough staff, but the result is a delivery service that fails to deliver every time. Show details
Despite paying a premium for express Post delivery, they do not provide the service and in this instance delivered these legal documents 3 business days late. But thats just the half the story of their appalling service. I paid for authentication when I deposited it with the post office as well as signature on arrival yet it sat in their depot for… Read more
three days. When I tried to track where it was via the phone number they provide, it didn't even accept that I had that tracking number and instead kept referring to some other companies tracking number that had absolutely nothing to do with me either as a sender or receiver.
When I finally was able to speak with an actual person at Aust Post they advised me to ring back the next day. Still no information about why it was sitting at their depot.
When I logged a complaint about the late delivery on their website, I kept getting emails from their staff that obviously hadn't even read the complaint as stated on their own website.
I had one email ask me to provide proof that I purchased the Express Post package and signature confirmation on delivery, despite the fact they had the tracking number and I screen shot the info showing it was 3 days late, yet Aust post provide no means for you to send them anything but a text message. You cannot reply to their emails as they say this option isn't available.
When I actually listed that fact in the updated complaint no one ever responded or acknowledged that fact.
Its been weeks now and still no response from Aust post complaints section.
I have now referred this to the ombudsman.
Outstandingly poor service all around at every stage, on delivery, their phone service, their app, their lack of customer service, their lack of providing a mechanism to provide the info they ask for, and finally the lack of response over all.
I would rate them zero Stars if that was possible.
For a company that is 217 years old its pretty trash. They refuse to take mail from certain places even though the mail passed through customs with no issue or comes from a reputable local business. Since when does the post office not accept mail? I had my medication returned to sender because auspost refused to take the delivery, i ended up in… Read more
hospital because of that particular incident. My lawyer is just waiting till i say the word. I don't have a mail box so I need auspost to do the one thing it was built for, to take mail so I can pick it up!!! Never seen a company that old get worse with time, usually the business model plan is do better. Ausposts business model is, screw them what are they gonna do about it.
As others have said. Quicker getting a parcel from china than domestic. From Perth to Geraldton it takes longer than from other side of Australia. Absolute scam. Pay for express post and you get ripped off. Show details
What happened to express post? Used to be very quick, usually next day for same city or three days for interstate rural but now it's upto a week for interstate and rural. It's not right they charge a high premium on a service they just don't deliver and you get the same thing using regular snail mail. I have sent express post from Brisbane to… Read more
Sydney taking two days but lately it's a week, when it should be three at most, I should drive there it would be much quicker considering the car gets 1100km to a full tank. This company has lost its drive to deliver anything on time, just look at the debacle with Brisbane Australia post where the drivers were doing parcel swaps in the parks. This is not right Australia post you should be ashamed. Your top bosses get paid way too much yet cut costs with services and still charge a premium for something that takes the same time as regular post. I have boycotted Australia snail mail and have started using other , far more reliable companies that actually care.
Throwing money down the drain won’t be as frustrating as trying to receive an article from Aust Post. I pay for a redirect service and last Thursday, the item started its redirection from Doncaster, with the final destination being Ferntree Gully. That parcel has now travelled to Templestowe, Dandenong (twice) and Melbourne Airport (twice), and… Read more
I still don’t have the parcel. What a “great”service for the money paid! Probably easier if I cancelled it and drive there to retrieve it myself.
I sent a small parcel from Perth to Hobart. Unfortunately, on this occasion, I have had a disappointing experience this time. It took 9 days , express post, from Cottesloe (Perth) WA, to Huntingfield (Hobart) TAS. That's way too long. In addition, the live chat to follow up was also frustrating. I don't know what happened in this instance, as I'm normally very happy with Australia Post express post. Show details
