I send my grand children cards & presents for birthdays etc and always send them registered mail.  Even that doesn't guarantee their delivery.  Twice now I have had to complain and after many phone calls etc one letter finally turned up 3 weeks later and the parcel was just left sitting on top of the letterbox a fortnight after I posted it.  I complained and was told "oh that shouldn't happen".  I could have driven there and back and delivered them quicker than Aust Post.  Not a happy customer that's for sure.

Oh MJ that is just rotten hun. I think AustPost needs some competition. That will give them a shake up.

That is very sad news MeganJane, but I bet it will work out okay in the end! Do keep us posted here please.. ("posted?" :D) I for one have full confidence in the abilities of the folks at Crio Bru :-* (what a nice concept to make presentaation gifts of your product! Have you made a Crio-flavoured version... or maybe that's next? ;) ) -- I just know you will the reward you deserve... somehow, they will find a way to get you lots of exposure.

I have to say that as someone who is in the midst of shipping hundreds of wee parcels over to Australia, the postal horror stories described in this thread make me extremely nervous. I am shaking in my boots! I know some people have received kitchen kits already... much faster than expected. I was surprised to see eastern Australia get such speedy delivery and then allowed myself to assume the rest of the country would quickly follow suit. (Wishful thinking?) Now I'm trembling. I can not bear the thought of some poor Thermomix fan not getting delivery because their spatulas have been tucked in a bag behind a bush somewhere. :o Noooooooooo!!!  :-\ :( :'(

I'm going to be losing sleep until I hear some good news.  :(

I'm sure that happens here. DD subscribes to quite a lot of professional stuff and quite a bit of it disappears.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Great news! They were sitting at the Post Offfice!!!  I asked them to go and check and sure enough, they've been sitting there for over a week. Why didnt they put a card in their mail box to let the know they had a parcel? The answer to this and thousands of other questions may never be known...

I feel for all of you with similar stories and have my fingers crossed for you Helene.

Thanks all for your kind thoughts and messages😘

I have a huge smile on my face after checking my email while here at Dome in Albany. Everyone is wondering what I'm thinking😉

So happy for you MJ but isn't it too late for Tenina's book launch?

Hopefully your watch will arrive soon Kathryn.
