Australia Post – merely incompetent, or actively malicious? I honestly can’t tell. Worst customer experience I regularly undergo, by far.
@DDsD Nope. They’re not in Australia?
@DDsD Those awards must not include Australian companies, because Australia Post would take it in a landslide.
@mmastertheone Ha, I did. Yeah, my experience today wasn’t that bad. Just annoying.
@mmastertheone The problem is that when I do ask questions, the answers I get are incorrect and result in me wasting time/effort. đ
