Every parcel I got in the UK from Australia got ripped open and resealed by royal mail.
There was a despatches episode on what the subbies in the distribution centres get up to. Anything that looks like a birthday or Christmas card gets open because old people still stuff cash into them.
Working at Wilkos I had to deal with a customer claiming a patio set never got delivered, spoke to the original courier who had been repeatedly accused of theft for months. He had a photo of the fucking thing set up on the customers back porch with a jug of lemonade on it. He wasn't allowed to submit the photo as evidence because 'privacy'
Lol yeah, now I know... I suspect our national shitty post service is the same, only no one get them on camera. Recently they are poking what's inside too, retards think they will find diamonds between clothes, or what.
I worked with a guy that worked for FedEx in the US and he said they did the same thing. They had to pile the packages as high as they can in the truck so anything was fair game to get it there.
I avoid using Australia Post as much as possible. I'll pay extra for a courier. If I have to use Aus Post, I always get the express option.
If I don't, then it will probably take a week and a half to two weeks to get it.
One of the nice things about living in the USA 20 years ago, was that you'd get mail from anywhere in the continental US in 2-3 days usually. Plus they delivered on Saturdays. And that was normal mail service.
