Now that's worth complaining about, it gives me the s*&ts when this happens. Now that the prices have gone up I'd make a complaint mate, I would either way because you are spending money for the item to arrive safely undamaged.

The tape is wrongly labelled. Says" repaired by Australia Post" instead of "ruined by Australia Post".

Make sure if you get something trashed that you don't accept it if you think there is damage. Then you have PO employees that can confirm it was like that when it arrived. Open it in front of them and check.

I once had a package sent back from the receiver because it was a red soggy mess. Smelled like a bottle of red wine had smashed up in transit. Lucky I package things really well and nothing inside all the layers was damaged, but the outside of what was once a box was not a box anymore.

My PO let me go home, repackage and repost for free without going through the claim process.

Excellent, that's really good advice, thanks heaps PP I must remember that..and yes I like the way you pack goods :good:

[JeffH]

Good advice to open, if you have suspicion of damage, in front of APO staff.
And, if at home, open carefully and take photos of unpacking. Try to disturb as little as possible from as delivered state. Then put it all back take it to PO to show staff and grab a claim form. Photos will help with claim and staff eyewitness report can be very handy.

Even if not insured, make a claim anyway. APO rules allow discretion to pay up to $100 damages for any item if claim is accepted. But, prepare to be persistent. We have had a couple of $100 "ex gratia" payments made for badly damaged deliveries.
