    I've had some bad experiences with post....

    Had a phone stolen from an express pak all I got with the empty box...
    Then recently I had to send an LG slider phone back to have the screen re-placed
    because of the previous phone stolen I was worried...
    The girl at the repair place assured me it would be delivered to the house
    and if no one was there they would leave me a note.
    I got home from work and laying in the middle of the deck was the parcel ...............grrr
    they didnt even place at the front door or on the door mat...just laying there...OMG....

    I also had a missing ebay item...and it was missing for about 6 weeks then
    the post office 15k's away sent me a note saying I had a parcel to be collected and it was the item
    that was missing....god knows where that had been for the 6 weeks.
    Funnily enough I had already enquired at that post office about the item.

    Hopefully Heaths parcel is sitting somewhere...

    Still no luck I'm guessing? What a bummer. For all involved! The Paul's put great effort into this so it's such a shame. Good luck with the continued parcel hunting. If I can be of any assistance let me know!

    Yes, this is really annoying now.

    Im kicking myself for taking the quick route to try and get this to him before he left Oz, should have sent it to canada, but that right there is the beauty of retrospect and hindsight.

    I have hope this will turn up still, if not this is one of the finest Pj collectibles, that is ,largely unreplaceable lost forever :cry:

    Well lets hope whoever has possesion of it now appreciates it...
    Perhaps we should be keeping an eye on ebay to see if it comes up there :)

    In the spirit of Australian humour
    Sucked in Heath!
    You just became the latest sucker of Australia Post.
    I know it's not funny...............

    I declare a 2 minute silence for that unreplaceable peice of Pearl Jam that has now fallen into the hands of some arsehole who has no idea we will CONVERT them when we find them. :twisted:

    Heath....We sent you our most powerful wishes and you recieved them....
    The PJ crowd got up to help you out,
    And just because we are a happening crowd, we bought you a gift aswell, but.....

    But on the up side, if you do get your parcel, can you ask them if they have seen my No Code Pollaroids? THANKS :P .

    I think it's time to reveal what Heath just lost in the mail ( bugga).
    :D

    I hope not as it was packaged wrapped in bubble wrap, totally wedged into a watertight mini cool bag zipped around - the bottles in the tin still - popped in a cardboard box full of polystyrene!!!!

    I reckon we shouldve taken it to ACA or Today Tonight...........
    Someone must know where it is..
    We could tell of why we did this in the first place....
    someone might have a conscience....
    I hope they didnt skull it then chuck the bottles :)

    I've been dealing Australia Post without much success other than being able to cross one post office is may have gone to off the list. However, this was just from bugging them hard on the phone and getting a sympathetic person who was willing to do what she could. They have suggested we put the complaint/lost item form in in writing and the paper trail may well then enable them to find it. The people I have spoken to are all optimistic is it sitting somewhere and we should see it again.

    Aus Post are crooks.
    They stole a $50 note from a birthday card we mailed overseas to our cousin.
