A Justified Whinge
I am so angry with some of the 'services' in WA.
I mean the so called postal service for a start.
I order an item from the UK, normally takes between 5-10 days maximum to arrive here by airmail, so far bl**dy nothing!
I ring around the local delivery office, the post office even the Aus Post 13 number, but nobody gives a ****! All they say 'its Royal Mails fault'.
Royal Mail are adament that it left the UK, the sender has told me this. It wasnt registered which is a pain but why do people put up with a 2nd rate service?
Id happily pay for more efficiency!
Its so annoying.
Secondly why to Perth trains leaving Perth dont not advertise then wont be stopping at all stations until youre sat down in the thing and as it goes??
I ended up in Warwick as it wouldnt stop at Glendalough, and i changed at Warwick and had to go back in the city all because of some dope who came up with that stupid idea!
And to top it off i was stuck on a train full of ping pong (AFL) fans!!! AAHHHH!!!

Ahhh Justice at last.
At least you got a train full of them. If it had been rugby league fans you might just have managed a carriage full.

As for trains not stopping at all stations, in my experience, the information boards generally list the stations it does stop at, rather than listing the ones it doesn't stop at. Get yerself a timetable!!

As for the missing parcel, did the sender put 'Air Mail' and 'Small Packet' (if applicable) on it? If not, it may have gone sea mail. It could also be stuck in customs, in which case they will contact you and ask you to stump up 25% clothing import duty and 10%GST on the value of the parcel and postage.

Well thanks you lot for the 'help'. A waste of time.
As for the parcel, the sender did not offer registered post or i would have gladly and obviously accepted it!
I take it everything goes jolly well for you in life, no problems ever? get real.

-Suggestion to get a timetable; information that trains advertise where they stop as opposed to where they don't stop
-alternative postal services
-suggestions as to why there may be delays on the parcel (customs, sea mail)
Or did you just want someone to give you a hug and say 'there-there'
