None of the parcels have arrived or really been updated. The 3 I ordered from Kmart nearly a fortnight ago, are still sitting as "in transit" in my suburb, and have been since Tuesday. The one from NBN Sydney I think got confused when I redirected it. Express posted from Sydney, arrived in Melbourne like 15 hours later, then sat around as "held at facility - in transit redirect" at the LPO in the suburb of the new house for 3 days, then got sent to Dandenong South, then from Dandenong South to sunshine yesterday, and hasn't moved as yet

The 3 from China were attempted delivery on Friday, but apparently Amjad from the mad cow Express tried to deliver it for the 1 hour I was out on Friday with the gate shut, so took it back to "MEL_DC-01". There was also a sneaky last parcel I got off eBay, it was specifically marked Australian stock, shipping from wheelers Hill. Wheelers Hill my fucking arse. It's been a week without the tracking marking it received by the post office. 100% a dropship from China

(I know that seems like a lot of parcels, but the 3 Kmarts were all from the same order but they decided to ship everything individually from different stores. The 3 AliExpress ones were for a project, but all sent individually. And the NBN one was a connection device replacement, so I didn't pay for it. The eBay was for the same project cause I couldn't find a trustworthy seller on AliExpress)

Christmas parcel rampup. Everything is being flung from sorting centre to sorting centre as they try and load balance the volume

Dandy is running 24hrs at present. Sunshine isn't, but is on all 7 days. 'Somewhere else' tried banning the staff from having zooper doopers in the heat last week. They can fuck right off.

Crikey. Even my primary school saw the merits in Zooper doopers on hot days (that is selling them at the canteen for 65 cents on hot days only)!
